Epic games scored a $92M win over Google for its decidedly anti-competitive app store, but what's really going to hurt is changing the business model of its app store. The EU AI Act puts some rules around transparency and copyright, Mistal AI raises $415M, and Open AI makes a deal with publisher Axel Springer. Tesla introduced a humanoid robot, Optimus Gen-1. What could go wrong? Our guest is founder and CEO of ForeVR, Marcus Segal, who was formerly the COO of Zynga. He has had an extraordinary journey through the games industry, which prepared him to build one of the Meta Quest's most popular franchises, with multiplayer titles ForeVR Bowling, ForeVR Darts, and ForeVR Pool. They discuss what, and how long, it's going to take to sell one hundred million VR headsets, and increase the frequency of their use.
