John Vechey - CASUAL GAME INDUSTRY WARNING

audio (57 MB)

The Casual Games Industry is now entering it's teenage years. It's young, dumb, and full of potential. Business is booming for most everyone, but we gotta be careful! It would be easy for The Casual Games Industry to step in the wrong direction.

our take:
This is a great session, we enjoyed it. What really stuck with us was: Are you so obsessed with what your competitors are doing that you aren't able to focus on your business? After listening to this - if you haven't already, listen to the innovation section of podcasts.

P.S. if you send John fan mail, he will write back.
