The Scariest Threat In Mobile Gaming: Losing Control Of Your Players
Tuesday, March 18 | 10:50 AM – 11:50 AM | Moscone West Room #2024
Berkley Egenes and Josephine Friday discuss how Web Shops help developers regain control over sales, marketing, and player relationships. In mobile gaming, the biggest nightmare isn’t player churn or high UA costs—it’s losing control of your players. When you rely solely on third-party platforms, you give away valuable player data, sacrifice revenue to hefty platform fees, and limit your ability to engage your audience directly. The scariest part? You’re building someone else’s business instead of your own.
