Game Design is Business Design
The game industry has changed. A rapid shift is underway as we move from a packaged goods dominated past to a digital, free-to-play dominated present.

The successful designers of our digital present are not only masters of fun, but also masters of business models and monetization. This lecture talks about the changing role of game designers and presents case studies of how they can successfully apply business design to their practice.
