A bit of an unusual episode this week, taken from a livestreamed AMA-style session on YouTube.

With EGX Rezzed postponed due to the spread of COVID-19, GamesIndustry.biz and a number of our sister brands ran a three-day online conference, Rezzed Digital.

One of the sessions we hosted was a live edition of the podcast, where audience members were invited to ask us questions about the state of the games business in 2020 and beyond -- now presented in audio form.

The discussion covered the impact of coronavirus, virtual reality after Half-Life: Alyx, the importance of killer apps in a console's launch line-up and more.

(And for anyone curious about the interview with a new studio mentioned at the end, you can read the full article on Assassin's Creed actor Abubakar Salim's new venture Silver Rain Games here: https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2020-03-27-from-character-to-creator-why-actor-abubakar-salim-is-trying-his-hand-at-development)
