Games of the Decade: Pushing the Boundaries of Innovation

Ten years is a big chunk of time for Technology evolution. During this decade rockets have begun to land vertically on their start point, virtual reality to be more accessible, the cloud-based services to cover pivotal roles in our daily life. Video games as well have been overwhelmed by an impressive amount of transformations showing the incredible potential of the medium.
Innovation takes courage and these ten years were probably some of the most memorable considering how far we arrived thanks to the bravery of some game designer. So let's celebrate their creativity, their vision, their way to intend art and entertainment.

With the growth of increasingly high-performance internet connections, new dynamics and phenomena are also emerging, rewriting our way of perceiving everyday life. A good example is how we conceive property, the way we own something, which is becoming less and less linked to the actual presence of a material component.

After this half an hour of interesting backstage, I had the pleasure to talk with them and delve into the topic.
