SF Game Monetization Meetup

Game developers today live in a challenging climate: gaming has never been a more crowded space than it is now. In this environment, how do you attract users, differentiate your game from competitors, and still make enough money to keep the lights on?

 

Existing methods of game monetization are starting to get stale.  Virtual goods have become a commodity, in-game advertising intrudes on the user experience, and level packs require continuous time investment to create new content. Game developers are constantly challenged to find new ways to increase their revenue.

 

After searching for other people with these problems, we found that game developers did not have place to discuss these issues, swap tips and find out about new game monetization methods. We created this group to fill that gap. Our goal is to create a community where game developers can learn how to create a more successful game.

 

If you have any questions or comments, shoot me an email at sheila@betable.com. Thanks!

    "One interesting topic is to examine the relationship between game virtual economies and real world financial systems, and how that relationship might be more purely leveraged to grow game monetization...."
