Thriving in Volatility

Jeffrey Phillips

I think it is important that we consider future competitive conditions as they are likely to be, not as we wish them to be. Too many people are talking about "new normal", as if they know what the new normal will look like.

#1,673 – Unreal Engine 5 and the Insane Future of Movie Quality Video Games

Greatest. Idea. Ever.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been duped.
