Game devs! You build, you grind, you launch, yetsuccess is nowhere to be found. Familiar? User Acquisition costs too much,Game just can not scale in downloads,Keeping a profitable player retention is a struggle.Game Developers work HARD!Sometimes, they work day and night,Until even a cup of coffee can’t keep them going.So what’s the matter?Hard work is often mistaken for working too long.And at some point, It becomes inefficient,ineffective and even misleading…They lose sight of working smart;Failing to focus their precious time,on the right areas of development.Remember working hard comes in many forms.And success is not only just about the effort.It’s about when and where you put it…Cheers to all hard working studios out there!
