Is Modding the Key To User-Generated Content?

This event took place on Saturday, March 12, 2022 at 4:00 PM UTC.

Gaming has a long history of modding. Counter-Strike and Defense of the Ancients were both user-created mods before becoming massive franchises. Modding has matured to the point where games are building in mods directly so that users can create their own content. Our panelists are experts in the space: Shahar Sorek is CMO of Overwolf — the all-in-one platform for creators to build and monetize in-game apps & mods; Abbie Heppe is Director of Live Service for Dreams, where players create and share fully-fledged games, music, and art; Arturo Perez is CEO of SynthRiders—a hugely popular VR rhythm game that lets their users create and play custom maps; Ryan Groves founded Infinite Album—a game overlay and Twitch extension that uses AI to create interactive music for streamers and their audience.
