The Matter of the Mobile Game Market (recorded cast) | Perceptive Podcast
6For this cast, I spoke with Justin Thompson who has been in the mobile industry for the past 7 years, and is now trying to elevate the design and market with Bound by Blades. We spoke about what it's like from the inside working on mobile games, the market itself, and the use of microtransactions and tactics to try and get people to spend money.
