Today's Industry Insight is on the Dangers of Going Big, or when a studio decides to go all in on an unproven concept. I talked about why there is such an allure of doing this, and the rewards and dangers of doing so.

Game genres feature wildly different skill sets and understanding, and you cannot translate what you know in one to others.
