e’re thrilled to announce the arrival of our first-ever webinar at Player XP! Following an inspiring experience at the Game Quality Forum in Amsterdam last year, where our CTO and Co-Founder, Andrew Husband, along with our Head of Community Development, had the chance to showcase Player XP’s capabilities, we've been on a mission to bring you the latest insights from the gaming industry.

What elements contribute to a genuine and effective apology? We’ll also explore the crucial role community trust can play in uplifting a game after a rough launch.
