Key Points he makes in the article --
Summary:
1. SOCIAL STOPPED WORKING - Overestimation of the power of only social over marketing
2. THE PRICE RUSH - the value of free to get eyeballs is lost in the rising tide of all-free
3. WHO’S AFRAID OF SCALE? - Digital distribution will consume the remaining XX% of the game platforms/providers
4. BEHAVIOURISM GONE BAD - repeating the same game play (or Zygna copying) bores players
5. GRAPHICS GRAPHICS GRAPHICS! - the cycle of differentiation points to a new wave of graphics pushing to grab attention
