games:net Berlin Europe Podcast: Ingo Horn

Welcome to the games:net Berlin Europe Podcast. In this podcast series we interview games industry from Berlin and different European countries. We want to hear their stories and perspectives on starting out in the industry, interesting projects they have worked on and their insights on how the games industry fairs in their respective country. But we also want to go deeper into understanding the people behind games, so the podcast also serves as a portrait of our guests.

New episodes, moderated by our co-hosts Simon Ohler and Florian Masuth will be published every first Monday of a month and can be found here, or on many popular platforms like Spotify and iTunes. Stay tuned!

We speak about the early days of the games industry, how communication has changed over the years, studio akquisitons and his charity work.
