Backstage Pass: Bing Gordon on What EA Needs to Do to Survive (TCTV)

We're continuing to highlight some of our favorite moments from the many hours of backstage content live-streamed during Disrupt last week. One of my favorite sit-downs was with Bing Gordon, general partner of Kleiner Perkins.A fireside chat with Gordon is always...unique. We didn't get poetry this time, but we had a fascinating talk about how the cost of entertainment has collapsed from $1 an hour to as little as $.05 per hour. In terms of gaming, Gordon was one of the people who set the $1-per-hour price back in the 1980s while at Electronic Arts. (When the Bill Cosby-esque shirt to your left was also in fashion.) Now, he's helping erode it as a board member and investor in Zynga. That's the Silicon Valley ecosystem in a nutshell.
