As part of Shacknews 25th anniversary coverage, our Video Wizard, Greg Burke, interviews Ed Fries, previous Vice President of Game Publishing for Microsoft throughout most of the original Xbox's lifespan. Greg asks Ed about his time in game development over the past 25 years and covers many of the changes and similarities found in the industry today. Fries gives us an insightful look at his new challenges faced in gaming venture capital and as an IGDA board member. He caps it off with a shoutout to Shacknews and our work over the past 25 years and David Craddocks's long-read, Bet on Black: How Microsoft and Xbox Changed Pop Culture.
