D2C's Biggest Opportunity Has Nothing to Do With Platform Fees
The D2C game monetization debate in games has been stuck on one number: saving 25-30% on platform fees.
That's the wrong number.
@TebexPlatform's Liam Wiltshire will show at Develop:Brighton what the fastest-growing studios do differently - using real data from 45,000+ gaming stores.
📅 Jul 15 | 12pm | Room 7

20 Years of Develop: @IOInteractive
IO Interactive have been here since the beginning, and for them the magic isn't just on stage. It's the conversations between sessions, the room full of peers, and a city by the sea that makes the whole week feel like a treat.

20 Years of Develop: @dnost, @dlalastudios
In 2012, AJ arrived at his first Develop without much of a network, just the hope of meeting the right people.
You never really know which conversation is going to matter. For AJ it was one at the Microsoft stand with Andrew Webber, which turned into an agreement for Dlala to build their game Janksy specifically as a Windows 8 launch title!
Careers and studios are built on moments like that, and Develop has been creating them for 20 years :tada:
Where did your first Develop take you? Share your story as we mark 20 years. #DevelopBrighton#DevelopConf
