Not often we get to see a really cool idea we want to take part of. BetConstruct Ortak project is exactly that. Ortak lets players invest in slots via NFTs using the FTN coin. RubyPlay is proud to be an early adaptor of this concept, and put one of our Immortal Ways titles on the Ortak platform. In this short video interview, we discuss this decision, and what we see ahead for this technology. Hope you'll find this interesting! #innovation #igaming #ortak

Yesterday at the Calcalist כלכליסט, Google and Playtika Gaming summit in Israel, I spoke about the impact of GenAI on the future of gaming. I was followed by Ilan Graicer, co-founder and CEO of our portfolio company Playo.ai who gave a live demo of their awesome AI-generated game and tech (sharing my slides below) According to the recent survey by Andreessen Horowitz (of 650 game developers) 73% of game devs already use generative AI and 88% plan to implement it soon. In my presentation, I highlighted: ✨ How developers are using AI for asset creation, procedural world-building, and animation ✨ The growing adoption of AI for intelligent NPCs, real-time narratives, and personalised gameplay ✨ The fact that GenAI for gaming is expected to grow by 100% in the next four years (with annual CAGR of 18.7% according to reports). We’re excited about the future of gaming and its intersection with generative AI, and we’re proud to support this evolution at Remagine Ventures. Pre-seed Israeli founders in this space - do get in touch! Link to the CTech by Calcalist article on our session in the first comment below!

Moreover, AR technology offers three main features: merging digital and physical realities, real-time interactions, and precise 3D recognition of both virtual and actual objects. It delivers an engaging experience through software, applications, and devices like AR glasses, headsets, and head-up displays. AI technology enhances AR solutions by enabling voice commands and processing information for AR applications. As immersive technology gains traction, the demand for AR is rising across various industries.

4K - WH questions We launched our first 4K channel in 2018 @Cellcom to be the first one to have it back in Israel. The content was not so common, but we did well; we had the BUZZ around as the first one having the Champions League in 4k. The launch was technically and commercially successful, and later on, I moved to Europe, and guess what different continents, different habits, and different decision flows still, 4K content is not standard in Central Europe. Having 4K rights and a video delivery pipeline that can carry around three times more traffic for 4K users is expensive. Lately, mainly after the Christmas sports events in the US, many are asking if I should stay (HD) or should I go (4K). Let’s start by answering the common WH questions and then have a better view. Whose - decision is it? Definitely, a commercial one. Is the market ready, and will we be able to get relevant content rights? Having 4K for some long-tail content is not so “sexy,” so the commercial and content team should develop a clear plan for content acquisition. When - is the right time to do it? Does it make sense to be the first one on the market? IMHO, yes, but make sure that you have the proper content, and you will be able to create buzz for major events like the Euro, Olympics, Champions League, etc. Why should we do it? It is super expensive, including technology and content rights. Will we make money, and how? Will we get more subscribers? With all my respect, major sports events, even in the US, like the National Football League (NFL), Major League Baseball (MLB), etc., are not 4 K. Even Netflix, which has 4K in VOD, did not have football in 4K. Who – should have it, all customers or premium? (usually the best way to start) and most of the TV providers charge extra for 4K content. Where will people watch it? Should we allow it only on big screens or everywhere? Live or also VOD? CU? Recording ? “It’s all about the money.” Which – is the right content to start with? VOD, which is cheaper and easier, or live, which generates the Buzz on sports but is super expensive and technically more complicated? What should we do? Should we have it or not? How much will it cost? Will it be easy to implement? Will the video pipeline handle it? Go for it if the commercial and content team has a clear plan and can answer the WH questions above with an explicit content acquisition roadmap.

He highlights the need to balance data-driven decisions with creative vision in game development and underscores the value of continuous learning. Emphasising the importance of surrounding oneself with a diverse team united by shared values, Ido also advocates for openness and humility as essential qualities in the gaming industry. The episode wraps up with Ido's go-to interview question, aimed at uncovering a candidate’s critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. Key Takeaways 💡Balancing data with creativity is vital to innovative game development. 💡A commitment to lifelong learning propels individual and team growth. 💡High-performing teams are built with diverse individuals who share core values. 💡Open-mindedness and humility foster effective collaboration and drive innovation. 💡Critical thinking and problem-solving skills are fundamental for success in the gaming industry.

This article in Mekomit highlights how easy it is for people to get lost in their daily routines, prioritizing their own comfort and avoiding tough questions. Meanwhile, their taxes and silence help enable horrors like starvation, torture, and genocide. It’s a stark reminder that indifference isn’t neutral. It has consequences. We must choose to stay aware and act against such injustices.
