I'm shining the spotlight on Chris Norris, the exec from Electronic Arts who's dialing up the positive play in gaming communities. Chris is the Senior Director of Player Connection at EA.

I had a great conversation, treading the path of evolution of social interactions in video games - from the cozy comfort of couch co-op play to making friends in the far reaches of the globe. We also explored how game makers developers can inspire better behavior in players and debunk the widespread belief that gamers are antisocial.

Chris and I also delve into the exciting prospects of how using cues from physical spaces can create palpable experiences in the digital world. We're not just talking about games; we're talking about fostering positive social interactions in gaming spaces, and you're invited to join the conversation.
