In this episode, Jens and Andy speak with Scott Reismanis (Mod.io) and Monty Martin (Space Cadet Studios) about the explosive growth of user-generated content (UGC) in games.
They unpack how platforms like Roblox, Fortnite, and mod.io's tools have turned players into creators, why UGC is now driving engagement, revenue and game longevity, and what this shift means for studios, publishers and developers. From modding communities to full creator economies, this episode explores how UGC has moved from the fringes of game development to one of the industry’s most powerful growth engines.
