VR Basketball Developers - Immersive Sports Experiences & Access

Most people still think gaming and sports are separate worlds. They’re not. The future of sports is being built inside immersive experiences, virtual spaces, and interactive communities right now. 🏀🎮 And the people building it deserve more visibility. That’s exactly why we created Jams & Joysticks. Too many innovators are creating groundbreaking experiences that never get the spotlight they deserve, not because the ideas aren’t powerful… but because the right people never hear their story. So we’re changing that. 🎙️ Our newest episode features Christine Schwarz, co-founder of Virtual Round Ballers. And this conversation opens up a much bigger discussion about where gaming, fitness, sports, and VR are all heading next. ⸻ In this episode, we dive into: 🏀 How Christine went from fitness enthusiast to VR innovator 🚀 Building immersive basketball experiences in virtual reality 🧠 Why accessibility and engagement matter in sports tech 🌍 How VR can connect players of all ages and skill levels This isn’t just about gaming. It’s about the future of human interaction, sports training, entertainment, and community. And honestly… we’re only scratching the surface. ⸻ What makes conversations like this important is that innovation no longer lives only inside massive studios or billion-dollar companies. Some of the most creative ideas shaping the future are coming from independent creators, startups, developers, and visionaries building things people haven’t fully imagined yet.

Current & Recently Departed Rogers Employees - Voluntary Buyout Impact

Are you a current or recently-departed Rogers employee? I want to hear from you. Yesterday, I broke the news that Rogers Communications is offering voluntary buyouts to 50 per cent of its employees (with some exceptions/ ineligible groups: beginning of story below, and article linked.) I want to learn what the effects of cost-cutting look like internally. I will not use your name in stories or disclose it to the company or publicly. Please contact me here, email me (my email is on my Globe profile page), or message me on Signal at igalea.63 Thank you! ----- Rogers is offering voluntary departure packages to 50 per cent of its employees, excluding Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, as telecom industry revenue growth has slowed and companies look to shed costs. On Monday, Rogers said that about half of its employees across numerous business divisions will be offered packages. Rogers did not say whether it had a reduction target. Typically, only a minority of employees offered a voluntary buyout will accept it. Rogers had 25,000 employees at the end of 2025. This includes about 3,000 MLSE employees, as Rogers is now the company’s majority owner, but these MLSE employees will not be offered buyouts. “We are taking steps to adjust our cost structure to reflect the business realities of the current environment. As part of this, some teams have chosen to offer voluntary departure and retirement programs to give some employees the choice to decide whether they’d like to stay with the company or begin a new chapter,” said Rogers spokesperson Zac Carreiro in a statement. Some teams within the company are eligible, though others are not, including on-air talent, Sportsnet employees at Rogers Sports and Media, Toronto Blue Jays and union employees.
