I spoke with @arasakik, CEO and co-founder of @athinkingape. His game studio has produced some of the top free-to-play mobile games.

We deep dive on why a mastery of psychology is the recipe for creating great games and the power of NFTs.

As one of our team members put it “I think a really good metric of a games success is the quality and popularity of fan pages and wikia.” So you could say we were stoked when someone shared this fan-built website.
