GAME DISCOVERY LESSONS FROM 30 YEARS (!) IN THE BIZ

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

In 1995, only 262 PC games shipped all year. Today, you can buy a complete Unity game template for $30 to $100. Making games got much cheaper. Getting anyone to notice got much harder. MobyGames lists about 1,100 PC releases in 1998, while the first PlayStation had roughly 1,500 Western releases across its entire life. Software and media are moving the same way. If customers can choose from thousands of decent products, distribution may matter more than one more feature.
