State of the Game: Multi-talent Panel pt.2
summary
Argues that storefront gatekeepers matter (Apple/Google two-store limit) while ESRB shapes PC/console sales, notes Minecraft succeeds because it lets users create content, contrasts Candy Crush as a billion-dollar hit with no customization, and cites analytics and microtransactions as core monetization tools. Predicts streaming parity with consoles in 12–18 months, broadband growth from ~1.5 billion to 3–4 billion devices, and that connected, online games plus subscription/rental hybrids will shift publisher economics and reduce piracy.
