6/ I’ve been incredibly lucky and blessed to meet and work with so many kind and great people and I’m excited for what I’m sure will be an eventful next quarter century.

Thank you again to everyone who’s been part of our story. Your support is not forgotten and I will always be grateful to y’all.

5/ Some of the best advice I’ve ever gotten was to take a breath and think through the next few turns before you make your move. I look forward to taking some time to explore and reflect on what’s next in the coming months.

4/ Anton and team have taken a successful game and grown an incredibly passionate community that’s unlike any other in the games industry. We’re ecstatic about what they’re building with Highrise and Highrise Studios and can’t wait to see what we can build together.

3/ 100+ experiences later, we’ve realized that our greatest strength as a team and as a company is in empowering communities to break that consumer/creator barrier.

When we connected with the Pocket Worlds team, we were blown away. They’re a team of rockstars who are hungry for more.

2/ Tal and I started Infinite Canvas 4+ years ago with the goal of promoting and enabling user-generated gaming experiences.

We were fortunate to work with an amazing team to see this dream through the GenAI expansion and break the boundaries between consumers and creators.

Why is there a turbo behind a Pokémon card? Is there a specific slice of targeting I’m missing? What an interesting ad…

The magic of the WSOP Main Event is very much like The International in Dota -- it's just a singular event that everyone plays to and captures the attention and imagination of everyone who's even adjacent to that industry
