Xavier Liard - Co-founder and CEO of Playdigious - a podcast by Gian Paolo Vernocchi

On the very first episode of Biz Dev Quest, I am joined by the Co-founder and CEO of Playdigious, Xavier Liard.



Xavier entered the video game industry by establishing DotEmu in 2007, a game developer and publisher dedicated into retro-gaming. In 2014, he  sold DotEmu and established Playdigious, a game publishing company that most notably worked on the mobile version of Dead Cells, Cultist Simulator, Evoland and Mini Metro.



We dive deep into the history of DotEmu, the founding of Playdigious and the tough decisions that surrounded AdTrial - Xavier's foray into the digital advertising world. This episode is packed with tips from Xavier on entrepreneurship and insight on business development and work-life balance. Towards the end of the episode we also touched on Apple Arcade and the impact it had on a publisher of premium mobile titles.
