Thanks for subscribing to GameMakers.

  • Last week, industry heavyweights Eric Kress, Tim Morten, and Ed Zobrist joined me to discuss F2P monetization, including good vs. evil practices.

  • During our session with USC students, a Q&A ensued, which went a bit far afield from the focus on F2P monetization. So I am publishing the Q&A part separately this week.

Hope you enjoy some interesting questions, which I list below:
