I had no clue that a good number of Accenture’s 720,000 professional services staff are working on game projects for the world’s biggest game companies. And that group of staffers is spread around the world, according to David Reitman, managing director for games at Accenture.

Reitman recently moderated our panel on the future of AI and gaming at our GamesBeat Summit Next 2022 event, and I also interviewed him about what Accenture has been doing in games over the past decade and its plans for the future. Going forward, helping studios deal with AI is the topic du jour.
