Hire your own creators.
Create your own content.
Build your own distribution.
Engage your own community.

Do not hire PR people who think their role is to give free content to employees of media corporations.

That is an obsolete model.

5 games that died overnight and why:

1. Pokémon GO: hype died, radar removed

2. PUBG: Fortnite lawsuit and bots

3. Guitar Hero: copycats, sequelitis, market saturation

4. Farmville: mobile games pushed Facebook games away

5. Cyberpunk 2077: marketing promise vs. game reality

Must read Mark Andreeson @pmarca's critical call to action *A Time to Build* https://t.co/sLWFeTdca8. Echoes of Reardon (in Ayn Rand's famous "Atlas Shrugged") emerge but Marc's message is clearly needed : WE MUST collaborate + build NOW 4 a brighter future tomorrow.

The Beatles would agree with @DalaiLama's take. Are we trapped in a "Material Material" world out there..?

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

We need friends and friendship is based on trust. To earn trust, money and power aren’t enough; you have to show some concern for others. You can’t buy trust in the supermarket.
