Chatted with a game dev last night.

They said, “when working on the business of a free to play game, it’s helpful to sometimes view yourselves at war with your players. They have your money in their pockets and you need to figure out a way to get them to give it to you.”

Definitely a different framing.

Yeah, not the best.

Definitely felt like they were playing a short-term game.

I didn’t like the framing or perspective because I think there are too big of opportunities to be thinking in such an intensely extractive way.
