Podcast Addict56 years agoJeffGrubb- This podcast should’ve existed a long time ago
The video game industry moves so much money and product, and this show is an elegantly assertive way to take a look at how serfs become lords in the industry, by looking at how people make a living in games. Really looking forward to the variety of future guests to come and help grow this podcast’s kingdom, and Jeff is a great guy to lead the conversations. Good stuff.

United States6 years ago - Good insights, excellent conversations
I really get a lot out of this podcast; it’s the best you’ll find on the business of making games. With so many different ways to build a game publishing business in today’s market, it’s fascinating to get a breakdown of how people get paid.
It humanizes the part of the game creation process that rarely gets visibility (outside of insider events like GDC).
So far, all the conversations have been funny, accessible, and interesting.

Ask no more! Jeff Grubb is a delight to the ears as he tirelessly works to shine a light on the business end of the video game industry, and the profits it yields for the layers of workers and trades that make the industry go ‘round.
