As game developers explore new ways to involve players in the production process, the gaming industry will have to change and adapt. Are open standards and interoperability the wave of the future for player-driven games?

These are the questions that game developers are beginning to ask as a whole new generation of advanced gaming technology emerges.

Join us as we take a look at the world of player-driven gaming and what future development in the genre may look like.
