$168Mil in 20 Months | Amazing Fastlane Success Story

[Guest-5ty5s4]

@EmotionEngine @bluffcatcher there has been a lot of game dev talk on this forum in the past! it's definitely a viable path.
I haven't seen a lot of success stories from it on here, but that doesn't mean it's not possible. Of course it is.

Just being equipped with the knowledge of what makes a business good or bad should help you tremendously in your game dev journey...

For example, with Need, player feeback is paramount. It's not about what the developer wants, it's what the players want.
