Product Update - 24th Nov 2021
Hey ZEDheads!
The great Shirley Chisholm once said: “You don’t make progress by standing on the sidelines whimpering and complaining. You make progress by implementing ideas.”
I’m sure you’ll agree that not an ounce of profoundness is lost from her words when whisking them shamelessly from their historical context and applying them to the situation at hand.
I say this because the ZED RUN team is not whimpering, nor complaining, merely relentlessly implementing ideas that will shape the inexorable future of digital entertainment. Below are some of those ideas.
As always, keep in mind:
- No specific timelines are attached
- Things may move on and off the list
