(Full disclosure: It's me on stage. I recently had the honor to give this talk.)

I believe that we should play more. We're undervaluing play - it's so good, and somehow we don't always perceive it as the powerful tool it is.

I'm looking forward to hear your opinions! What do you think?

I'm very happy to meet this point of view. I'm currently working as Engineering Manager in one of the biggest corporations, this is a whole new world of challenges and a place where products you use every day are build.

I'm building a game that will represent my job in game form with all the important aspects of doing this work. As you mentioned in the talk, It will be a playground to safely explore what needs to be done to be a good manager and what you have to know about it for transition from engineers to manager. Ambitious goal for future is actually to emulate the corporation.

So, I support the idea that games are medium for people grow and I'm betting on this with my project.
