About this listen
Ben Kvalo built a gaming career most people dream about: working on Borderlands 2, NBA 2K, and major franchises at 2K and Blizzard. Then he left Netflix to start Midwest Games in Wisconsin.
This episode isn't your typical gaming interview. We get into the business mechanics of publishing games, why video games might actually extend your life, and what it really takes to leave corporate security behind. Ben breaks down the analytical side of risk-taking, why even failed founders come out ahead, and how he's building a publishing company that supports indie developers across the Midwest.
If you've ever had an idea you're too nervous to pursue, Ben's approach to testing concepts and building systems will give you a framework to think differently about that leap.
New games from Midwest Games include Tomb Water, The Legend of Baboo, and Floor is Wet from Wisconsin's Pyramid Lake Games.
