Biography edit · view history

Since 2005 Hendrik Lesser is an independent entrepreneur in gaming with his company rcp, still being the bossmob. He learned his trade playing games since he was 4 years old, sold games for years (his first less official venture as a kid and later in a store), writing about them during university and finally nearly 5 years of Take 2 Interactive , where he experienced a lot, contributed 1% of the yearly revenue in a more rogue operation sanctioned by his direct bosses and also quite understood better what could go wrong and shouldn't be done; He calls it the best paid education ever.

When they started rcp in a souterrain (fancy word for basement), they wanted to empower developers while making better games with a sustainable process. Now rcp is 30 kick-ass people and the whole group of studios under the rcp family umbrella is around 250 game makers in multiple countries. He also decided early on that he could only do this in his home town if hey also change perception of the industry as a whole; so he's an avid lobbyist/politician for games, supports a lot of educational initiatives (currently the chair of production at S4G in Berlin), founded the biggest German speaking game culture club, owns 1500 games on steam (pretty decent % of played :) ) and even started mentoring startups from other industries.

He loves his job, he pushes himself for growth and he will never give up in general or playing games in particular.
