In this issue of The Fintech Times, we put the spotlight on gametech and uncover ways in which the real world and the gaming world are increasingly colliding. For our CEO interview on page 10, I had the pleasure of chatting to Robert Towles, founder and CEO of InfluenceINK, about the transformation of the gaming industry and the future of how players participate in the leisure industry. We discussed how the INK Games platform – launching in 2022 – lets creators, influencers, players, in fact anyone with a smartphone, earn revenue for playing and sharing games.
I also delved into the concept of the metaverse for our cover feature on page 4. There’s currently much hype and excitement about the metaverse – especially from investors and big tech firms – so join me as I look deeper into what’s billed as the ‘future of the internet’. Be sure to also check out thefintechtimes.com in February for our ‘gametech takeover’ where we’ll share more insights from gametech experts and companies.
