Back in February, our co-founder Marc Merrill spoke at #DICE2025 to fellow game makers from across the industry. We weren’t dropping any big news about our games–just taking a moment to reflect on the fundamentals: who we aim to be and what we try to deliver for players. Marc also spoke candidly about some times we’ve gotten it wrong. Whether we took too long to change a bad decision or grew in a direction that pulled us away from our core mission, we’re learning. And always trying to do better. The full talk is now live on YouTube if you want to check it out. It’s 25 minutes of lessons, stories, and reflections about what it takes to make great games—and to keep making them great as you grow.

Since the first in 2012, Thunderdome has come a long way. 1,500+ Rioters from 20+ offices participated this year. Some made the trip to LA, while others got together in Dublin, Sydney, Shanghai, or Singapore to collaborate in person. But it still begs the question… Why do we do it?
Riot Unidos chose to represent the wide range of Latin American cuisines with an array of dishes taking inspiration from Sonora to Salvador to Cape Horn. NOMS outdid themselves this week for Latin American Heritage Month!
