Flash Games Summit
Yesterday I attended the first ever Flash Games Summit which has a bunch of informative sessions and interesting people involved. Thanks to Mochi Media for inviting me!
Monetization panel
I moderated a panel called “Monetization and Business Models for Flash Games” with:
- Adam Caplan from Super Rewards
- Kate Connally, AddictingGames
- Jameson Hsu, Mochi Media
- Kenny Rosenblatt, Arkadium Games
This was a nice mix of people because it represented a virtual goods-focused payments platform (Super Rewards), an ad network (Mochi Media), a content portal (AddictingGames), and a developer (Arkadium), so there was a variety of interesting viewpoints.
Panel topics
We covered a variety of topics, including:
- How do the different players (ad network, portal, etc.) make money?
- What are the biggest factors in driving monetization?
- What are the differences in monetizing demographics and geographical areas?
- What kinds of games are more successful at monetization?
- How are social gaming folks different than flash gaming creators?
- What are the key metrics they look at?
- How has the recession changes their business, and how will it affect the industry overall?
- .. and many more!
Hope you enjoy watching the discussion.
