ABSTRACT

And this means there’s no end in sight for you. Far below those stars and that ionosphere of humming data, we mortals have to work to make sense of this fast-moving market. The daily tide of gaming and business news brings fresh delights each morning. New acquisitions that change the landscape of mobile gaming are announced every few days. The technologies that let us dream up, create, balance, and maintain social and mobile games continue to improve at such an incredible rate that just keeping up with the newest tools requires a scholar’s discipline and a centurion’s stamina. And every few days three new social games and ten new connected mobile games appear, any one of which could very well change the landscape of the industry and the state of the art.
