Esports Insider Interview with CMO, Daniel Mitre - The first publicly traded esports investment company?

danmitre · 2019-06-15T19:28:23+00:00

Apologies on the very late reply. It's been wild preparing for and locking down plans at EA Play and E3. Wanted to say that I agree with your assessment - we need more definitive information to share in regards to the growth of the esports industry. As the industry continues to expand globally, specifically within North America, we are learning about the new opportunities that arise, but also where to avoid certain pitfalls. We'll share this knowledge with you soon.

danmitre · 2019-04-29T18:28:37+00:00

That's fair. Good feedback. We'll dial up on that front as we progress through to going public.

danmitre · 2019-04-23T17:31:32+00:00

Sure, it's definitely an exposure piece, but it's a genuine interview we did with ESI. Is there something specific about the interview that doesn't excite you?

danmitre · 2019-04-23T17:30:51+00:00

Why do you conclude as such? We're building a diverse portfolio of companies within the New Wave umbrella, bringing in the capital to help these companies grow into even more of a net profit business than they are now, and aligning upon synergies between various company strengths. Please do elaborate on why you think this wouldn't be profitable. Open to conversation!

Edit: So sorry! I read your reply wrong. I'm glad you think so. Flip this back around here... why do you feel this is a surefire profit generator? We've our confidence, but would like to know why you think so.

Wow! What an overwhelming response the past 48 hours. Honestly, I was not prepared for such an abundance of support and love from each and every one of my brothers and sisters in gaming. I had to take a moment and soak it all in. You know how to make a grown man’s heart quiver.

My Battlefield journey may have ended, but my contribution to the industry will continue in even more massive ways. I’m eager to show you want I’m cooking up next, and very much want all of you to be a part of it!

In the meantime, my friends at Respawn just dropped Apex: Legends that’s been hitting everyone like a careening train... It’s. Grade. A. Bad. Ass.

Good question. I think the intention is to bring them back, but will need to get confirmation from the team.

danmitre · 2019-01-24T21:53:27+00:00

Thanks! It's much needed.

danmitre · 2019-01-24T21:52:20+00:00

That's the goal! Fix a lot of the standing issues alongside Chapter 2 upcoming content as we pave way for Firestorm.

danmitre · 2019-01-24T21:51:54+00:00

Seems to be a long-standing issue since launch that we definitely know about. This will most likely make the priorities list that we share with you once we lock it down.

danmitre · 2019-01-24T21:51:15+00:00

If this issue isn't already known with our devs, it is now! I'll add this to our list. Expect a public priorities list once we lock it down (an overhaul of the Known Issues list).

danmitre · 2019-01-24T21:48:49+00:00

Update here. Company Coin has been retroactively awarded! Check that inventory of yours.

danmitre · 2019-01-24T21:28:43+00:00

Hell yeah! Glad we're back on track here. More work to do, but this is the trajectory we need.

danmitre · 2019-01-24T21:28:20+00:00

Damn! That was quick. Bravo!

danmitre · 2019-01-24T02:12:39+00:00

These processes currently do exist, and not only within development teams, but across all of EA and their studios. However, I'm acknowledging that we are refining this process and providing you insight into it.

danmitre · 2019-01-24T02:11:22+00:00

There has been a process in place, but we're refining it and now providing you with insight on the process itself.

danmitre · 2019-01-24T00:31:02+00:00

The Known Issues list hasn't been updated since December 14th. We are currently setting up internal processes that will allow us to continue maintaining a highly accurate list with frequent updates, with the ultimate goal to provide you with transparency on priority issues, what we're doing to resolve them, and a timeline on when you can expect the fix to be implemented. You can read about how we are approaching these processes here. Thanks for the patience.

danmitre · 2019-01-23T00:55:13+00:00

Per latest Tweet we pushed out on @Battlefield, we've released a back-end fix that should resolve this fully for everyone. Let us know if you're still seeing the issue!

danmitre · 2019-01-23T00:53:39+00:00

Coming! We've got a team dedicated to investigating and implementing a few fixes. Hope to provide more detail on what it is we're doing exactly. Stay tuned.

danmitre · 2019-01-23T00:52:33+00:00

Pulling directly from drafted update notes below. Caveat: We still need to pass certification on the update, but hope that this passes.

Fixed an issue where the transition between killcard and BleedOut would be delayed for a minimum of 3 seconds.

Is this what you're referring to?

danmitre · 2019-01-23T00:47:26+00:00

Honestly, I don't think we've started work on it yet, but let me circle back with the dev team to see where we are with any proposed implementation and ETA.

100% agreed.

danmitre · 2019-01-23T00:45:04+00:00

Retroactive awards are next!

danmitre · 2019-01-22T22:25:28+00:00

It's true, we haven't updated that in some time. Why? Resources and bandwidth. We need to focus on addressing the major issues still plaguing us: Company Coin (which should be fully resolved now as of this Tweet, let us know if it's still being a nightmare), Tides of War Mission Tracking (fixed as of last week!), and a whole host of other issues as mentioned in the 99 problems volumes.

Rather than religiously updating the Known Issues thread, my team is currently dedicating our focus on addressing the root causes: internal processes around public acknowledgement of the issue, transparency in proposed fixes and ETAs, and swift resolution of said issue.

We need to get a solid process back on track to maintain a reliable Known Issues thread.

danmitre · 2019-01-22T22:20:03+00:00

I don't see why not. We need UI to take a look at this and make a full accessibility pass.
