This is a bit of a longer one, but worth reading. I hope this message helps you become more aware of who you really are. I can simplify this by saying, just be who you feel in your heart is you. No need to label or identify. You don't have to justify who you are, just be yourself. 💖💖💖

I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.
Ethan Evans, former Amazon VP

As VP of Prime Gaming at Amazon, we failed multiple times to disrupt the game platform Steam. We were at least 250x bigger, and we tried everything. But ultimately, Goliath lost. Here's why:

The 15+ year long attempt to challenge Steam started before I was VP of Prime Gaming, but we never cracked the code. Not under my leadership or anyone else's.

The first way we tried to enter the online-game-store market was through acquisition. We acquired Reflexive Entertainment (a small PC game store) and tried to scale it. It went nowhere.

Then, after buying Twitch, we created our own PC games store. Our assumption was that gamers would naturally buy from us because they were already using Twitch. Wrong.

Finally, we built "Luna," a game streaming service that let people play without a high-end PC. Around the same time, Google tried the same thing with their
product "Stadia." Neither gained significant traction. The whole time, Steam dominated despite being a relatively small company (compared to Amazon and Google).

The mistake was that we underestimated what made consumers use Steam

It was a store, a social network, a library, and a trophy case all in one. And it worked well.

At Amazon, we assumed that size and visibility would be enough to attract customers, but we underestimated the power of existing user habits We never validated our core assumptions before investing heavily in solutions. The truth is that gamers already had the solution to their problems and they weren't going to switch platforms just because a new one was available

We needed to build something dramatically better, but we failed to do so. And we needed to validate our assumptions about our customers before starting to build. But we never really did that either.

Just because you are big enough to build something doesn't mean people will use it

Happy *quiet, chill* Pride.
The chill otter is laying down next to a phone with rainbow beams fanning out of it. They look at the phone and see it says June 1st, and after a brief contemplation, they snuggle up under a progress pride blanket, phone plugged in farther away.  It reads “It’s ok if you are tired. Happy *quiet, chill* Pride.”

Let's take a look at the reasons why you might get laid off while working on a game, shall we?

Your game doesn't do well, which, sure. Harsh, but understandable.
Your game is called a success by Microsoft. Microsoft then lays you off.
You help make a game as successful as Marvel Rivals. You are then laid off.
Your studio gets acquired for over $60 billion dollars. You are then laid off.
You endure executive pressure that forces you into making games your studio isn't good at making. It doesn't go well. You are then laid off.
Someone decides your portfolio needs to be aligned/reorganised/restructured to become more flexible/agile/versatile under economic/industry conditions. Meanwhile, your CEO might've spent $2 million on vintage cars. You are then laid off.

image is a digital painting of a kirin-like apparition standing upon a golden body of water. the waves shift and churn and splash up against an invisible orb-shaped barrier that prevents the water from reaching the beast. superimposed behind the creature, an eclipse glistens as the sun's brilliant rays burst forth from behind the moon's oppressive silhouette. #furryart #furry

Magical Experience: Wake up early before sunrise in the brisk midwest 55°. Partake of (choose your substance) and do some weed pulling. Birds chirping, taking your time, nowhere to be. Pine trees filtering the air. Earthworm's wiggling in the dirt. Check on the bunny burrow under the bush. Peaceful

This was all I could ever think about back when folks were showing off the “here’s what I look like cartoonified/as anime characters/30 yrs older” filters on apps & online tools. Now I just hope no one ever has the horror realization of seeing themselves advertising something they never agreed to.
