Thrilled to have kicked off the holiday season with my CNBC Fast Money crew! I joined Melissa and the team for a discussion about the new draft regulations in China's gaming industry. These developments have certainly stirred the waters yet again, amplifying investor uncertainty about the regulatory environment, and underscoring the urgency for gaming companies to swiftly adapt if the draft regulations remain unchanged. However, the market's reaction to what are essentially draft regulations, currently open for a month-long public comment period, was surprising. This response could hint at a deeper investor skepticism about the impact of their feedback on the final regulatory decisions. From my perspective, it is prudent for companies to engage in this process without prejudging the outcome. While it may not ultimately make a difference, participation is essential. Many already do, and rightly so. On a personal note, as a parent, I find myself aligning with the regulators' stance. However, I understand that for businesses and investors, the regulatory process and its surprises can be tumultuous. A special shoutout to Kavitha Shastry and Anna Gleason for their incredible work on this segment. Wishing everyone Happy Holidays!

Don’t be morally bankrupt when it comes to sexism in gaming. There are dozens of studios doing underhand tactics like sexist ads, or even those that polarise domestic abuse, which are categorically wrong. Thank you to Mariam Ahmad and Gamesforum for shining a light on this and asking me my opinion on this really important matter. Equally, all of us in the industry need to contribute to stamping this out, this is the studios making the ads, the networks running the ads and even the OS providers like Apple and Google allowing them to run.
