Go see Game Worlds and congratulate Jini and Bethany on their work in games 💖
Six weeks since Game Worlds opened - a lifetime, a millisecond.
For so long, this show only existed to me, Bethan, and a handful of others, - and now it belongs to thousands of you as well.
Thank you to everyone who has visited so far - the response has been unfathomable 💘✨

I’m looking for more interview participants. If you are a renter and have experience using ‘RentTech’ - I want to speak with you!
