Is There a Risk to Focusing on the English Speakers of the World?

As games progress through their lifecycle, many games experience increased costs and stalls in growth over time. An excellent way to unlock growth is to find new pockets of players outside of English-centric countries.

But what’s the optimal way to find these markets? How do you decide whether to make that investment decision? How much should you localize versus culturalize? What is the potential of these emerging markets? 

To answer these questions and more, Nancy Huang and Ludovic Thevelin joined us for an informative discussion.
