XDS23 Insights Report | Guest Author Caroline Calaway discusses key observations
Welcome to our first XDS Podcast!
In our introductory episode, host Chris Wren chats with this year’s Insights Report guest author Caroline Calaway, Senior Producer, Riot Games.
This year’s survey explored the impact geopolitical instability of various types has had on external development, in addition to the realities of inflation and changes in remote work. During this episode, Caroline discusses what she found to be the most surprising outcomes of the survey results.
The audio presentation that follows was delivered at XDS Ignite 2023, an annual event that unites a peer group of Developers/Publishers to build a network, address common challenges, and incubate ideas for the main XDS event in September.
