Excited to Talk to you today about the wisdom you all can take away from what we have seen in gaming.
This is what we’re all trying to do…play longer and make sure it’s for a long time.
So why do you want people in your app for a long time? Well…because the ecosystem is growing at unprecedented rate. More money + time = a competitive and flourishing ecosystem.
One of the derivatives of what I just explained to you with the trends is the fact that as more gamers come into the market - more games are going to come in to fill the demand and so discoverability has to be something you put as much thought into as you do the game itself
But for example in the mobile space, relying on “top of the charts” or similar placement in an App Store, is a bit like relying on getting a product put on display in the front of a store. It works, but it is very expensive and doesn’t last long. Further, very few games break into the top 10 or 20 lists on their own.
So as I say, Discoverability needs to be a core strategy for you
This involves reaching traditional gamers and the non-obvious gamers. Because the truth is that the digital marketplace has transformed what it means to be a gamer. In North America, Gamers aren’t just young men sitting in their parent’s living room or in APAC in internet cafes until the wee hours of the night like it was for the last two decades..
So how do you drive discovery on the highest quality mobile traffic source?
