45:18Now PlayingOn this week's episode of "Gamer Galaxy," host Cher Hwang is joined by Gameway co-founder Emma Walbridge. Gameway is the high-end gaming lounge that's coming to an airport near you, in hopes of offering a more enjoyable experience for passengers of all ages. They talk about how the concept works, why airports bought in, and now asking for more.
In this episode, they cover:
- Gameway’s concept and business model: A gaming and entertainment lounge inside airports, designed to make travel more fun and less stressful.
- Who it’s for and why it works: Especially millennials and Gen Z, but also parents, kids, and nongamers who want a welcoming airport experience.
- Founder story and mindset: How Walbridge and her husband went all-in to pitch airports, overcame red tape and construction challenges, and scaled location by location.
- Community and accessibility: How Gameway creates connection, supports different kinds of travelers and builds an inclusive space for everyone.
- Gaming as mainstream culture: How gaming overlaps with travel, hospitality and everyday life more than people often realize.
