This document discusses trends in the mobile game industry and strategies for game developers to address those trends when using AWS. It covers free-to-play models, in-app purchases, cross-platform support, going global, user retention, and short life cycles. It then discusses how AWS can help developers fail fast and cheap, achieve scalability, reduce time to market, and extend life cycles through increased agility, experimentation at low cost, and global infrastructure.

days or months.
There’s no bureaucracy.
It aims to be transparent.
