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 …
