Canada’s GDC of the Future: How XP Gaming is Connecting the Video Game Industry for the Modern Age and Beyond

"The mission of XP Gaming is to connect the video game industry," said Jason Lepine, founder of XP Gaming, in his opening remarks to kick off the conference in Toronto XP Game Summit 2026 on May 21, 2026.

Since the dismissal of the 34 workers was made public last month, there have been […]
