@ballmatthew @stephentotilo Thank you!

[Tim Smith @timpaulsmith]

@ballmatthew @stephentotilo Yeah exactly. Once you have a game that retains and monetizes very well (which is really hard!) then you can aggressively lean into marketing and crowd out the competition. They executed exceptionally well on lots of fronts here.

Thank you!

[Tim Smith @timpaulsmith]

@ballmatthew @stephentotilo One important factor is that almost all of the Monopoly Go marketing happened after the game launched, so they knew could spend <$500M profitably and recoup within weeks/months (vs spending a lot up front to make a game and having a big risk it might fail)

@beglen Fascinating - which AIs have you tried?

[Tim Smith @timpaulsmith]

@khemaridh Thanks for sharing! It sounds very similar to this book - https://t.co/b3zFYXhbuj

@beglen @anaismitchell Perfect background music while working!

[Tim Smith @timpaulsmith]

@DanGrover I mostly listen to dance music and nursery rhymes (with my young kid), and was recommended this playlist that combines both. Very specific!

China's game regulator continues to implement targeted regulations aimed at curbing game addiction among minors

New policy states that minors can only play games for one hour on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays between 8pm to 9pm.

An extremely restrictive policy.

@rex_woodbury This is a great interview with more context on this (and other) campaigns - https://t.co/r6puoDfJpn

@beglen This is amazing! I also wish I’d had this when I was 10. Love how Roblox is included :)

Question for the seasoned bankers out there. One would think $GME board would feel obligated to take more capital here - say $400mm-$1B in cash. What are the options? Shelf? Overnight? ATM? Are they already shelf registered or not? Which bank mostly likely to help?

@patrick_oshag @supercell Amazing player retention. Of the people who started playing Clash of Clans in 2014, two years later 10% were still playing every day. (Most free to play mobile games fall to 10% retention after only a month or two. Source: 14 mins: https://t.co/7dbG0RQnXe)

@nattergraeme @Campaignmag Amazing! Many congratulations 🎉

I've been wanting to start writing online, and Unity's recent IPO filing seemed like a good opportunity to learn more about the company and share my thoughts. Here's what I found... https://t.co/J2RglgZxEd

@beglen This site is interesting for crowd sourced opinions - https://t.co/4wCVChxgYG. I don’t think they have the exact questions you’re looking for, but maybe they’ll have more in the future
