[Ep498] Monopoly of Time

In this episode, we discuss flying drones, design bibles, and subscription models. Subscription services for games are different from streaming services. The goal isn’t for the player to binge and bounce. These models favor replayability and retention, incentivizing live-service games while sidelining smaller story-driven experiences.
