What Gies is
Gies (Games Industry Executive Summary) was founded by Emmanuel Rosier in June 2024, with co-founder Casey Al-Kaisy, to make sense of the video games industry for people with little time. Three things, that's it.
The weekly newsletter
The factual digest. Every Friday morning, the key gaming industry news of the past 7 days, curated and condensed. No opinion. No long analysis. Designed to be consulted, not absorbed. If you have ten minutes a week to follow the industry, this is for you.
Free on Substack: giesweekly.substack.com.
The monthly takeaway
Once a month, David Thier (and guests) write a longer, opinionated piece on something that mattered. Slower, deeper, with a point of view.
On the same Substack, paid tier ($5/month).
The podcast
Every week on YouTube. Casey hosts. Emmanuel walks through the week's news as the analyst. David adds the design and player-culture lens. Patrick Rose and Andre Persson drop in as recurring guests. There's also a "Guess the game" segment to keep things light.
Watch on @giesweekly. New episodes weekly.
The team
Recurring podcast guests include Patrick Rose and Andre Persson.
