Bing Gordon, a partner at Kleiner Perkins and former chief creative officer at Electronic Arts, has continued to speak publicly about the evolution of the gaming industry, the metaverse, and investment strategy. In a June 2025 podcast appearance, he discussed his early career at EA, including writing the company's business plan in 1982 and raising $2 million from Kleiner Perkins and Sequoia. He stated that his metric for a board is "one valuable idea received by the management team per hour of a board meeting" and that "companies go astray when the boards don't ask hard questions." In a March 2024 keynote at the Game Developers Conference, Gordon argued that the game industry has historically been underestimated by investors, stating that "75% of the time investors could prove that the game business would always suck." He also described the metaverse as a "fundraising tool" similar to the "Information Super Highway" of the 1990s. In a January 2024 interview, he predicted that the law will eventually "start recognizing virtual worlds as physical real estate." Gordon has also emphasized the importance of founders as "learning machines" and noted that venture capital firms like Kleiner Perkins seek "every now and then 100X return" over a seven- to ten-year period.
