About This Podcast

Game Theory, a new video podcast from Lightspeed and Goldman Sachs, in partnership with McKinsey, takes a look behind the curtain of the industry-defining gaming & interactive technology companies—and explores how play is changing everything. Featuring insights and untold stories from Founders, CEOs & Presidents—including David Baszucki (Roblox), Sarah Bond (Microsoft Xbox), Strauss Zelnick (Take-Two Interactive), Matt Bromberg (Unity), and more—the series dives into how play has shaped consumer behavior and technological innovation for decades. In a candid format, each episode explores a different dimension of play, and how it has influenced the guest's personal and professional lives. Game Theory is co-hosted by Moritz Baier-Lentz, Partner at Lightspeed, and Hemal Thaker, Managing Director at Goldman Sachs.
