With the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences annual DICE Summit wrapped up for 2010, a couple of presentations stand out, as recapped by news media.
Steve Wadsworth, president of Disney Interactive Media Group, kicked off the summit with his opening keynote discussing Disney s videogame strategies, and in doing so touched on some of challenges facing the console business. Simon Carless provides a thorough recap of his presentation, which you can read at Gamasutra.
John Schappert, COO of EA, took what VentureBeat describes as a dig at Activision’s Robert Kotick, who had presented the day before. Schappert said rather than dwell on how great his company is, he wanted to spell out challenges facing EA and the game industry, then offer a way to maneuver around them. As if channeling survivor men Les Stroud and Bear Grylls, he delivered with a five-step guide to surviving the current harsh game climate. Dean Takahashi provides a recap, which you can read at VentureBeat {link no longer active}.
