How Jam City balances employee welfare, growth in the pandemic, and doing right by gamers

Jam City has grown dramatically over the years to become one of the industry’s largest mobile game companies. But its mission isn’t all about growth. I talked with Jam City CEO Chris DeWolfe about balancing growth in the pandemic, taking care of employees, and doing the right thing for gamers.

DeWolfe’s company has published games like Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, Panda Pop, Disney: Frozen Adventures, and Cookie Jam. It has been active growing its staff and acquiring games such as Bingo Pop and Disney Emoji Blitz. All told, the company has had more than a billion downloads and more than 30 million players. I talked with DeWolfe about the balancing act at our GamesBeat Summit 2021.
