Recently returned from my and Sequence's fourth GDC, which was the most exciting one yet. Some insights 👇 1) Broadly speaking, the gaming industry is experiencing challenges: * 431% increase in user acquisition costs since 2019 * 70%+ of games are unprofitable * 15-20% increase in development costs since 2020 * Pure content plays struggle to secure VC investment 2) As a result, games are open to new solutions. In the past, a lot of game devs had negative sentiments towards web3, but the narrative is shifting. Web3 unlocks unique UA strategies, deeper engagement and enhanced player retention via collectibles and rewards, and new monetization models—all while empowering players with new play experiences. 3) Games powered by Sequence drive retention and incremental revenue by leveraging web3; e.g. * 4.5x higher D30 retention * 7.2x higher average revenue per user * +20% incremental revenue 4) If you’re a game developer/studio, the publishing model makes more sense than venture capital in today’s climate. Notable exceptions: if you’re building a platform in tandem with your game, VC might make sense, especially if there’s a long-term opportunity of achieving a $1B+ valuation. Or, if your game integrates web3 and potentially a token, there tends to be greater investor appetite. 5) APAC is leaning into web3. Ranging from AAAs like NEXON KOREA, Square Enix, SEGA, Sony, etc. to small teams and indies, the region that pioneered F2P is taking a bold leap into web3. 6) We announced our partnership with Google to support APAC and game developers more broadly: https://lnkd.in/gFbUzEwr “Sequence gives game developers the freedom to focus on crafting exceptional gameplay for players. Through this collaboration, Sequence removes the complexity of web3 technology, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for both developers and players.” - Jack Buser, Director for Games, Strategic Industries at Google Cloud With Sequence, we abstract away blockchain complexity, deliver an all-in-one solution that’s scalable, secure, and easy to integrate—enabling the next generation of games and helping developers attract and retain users while unlocking new revenue streams. 7) Gen AI + UGC will lower development costs. With better AI tools coming online each day, studios can augment their output. And, user generated content tools supplement games’ content pipelines, while deepening engagement with their players and creators. The tokenization of UGC offers exciting incentives for players and creators as well. 8) There's so many incredible web3-enhanced games + projects in the pipeline. 9) Overall, great vibes at GDC. While there have been some sad layoffs in the gaming industry recently, the energy at GDC was excited and optimistic. It’s always incredible to bask in the creative energy of the game development community, to connect with partners and prospects, and to enjoy IRL time with the Sequence team.
