Written to help designers overcome many of the fears and misconceptions surrounding freemium and social games.
The games industry is serious business and the role of a games designer has dramatically changed over just the last few years. Developers now have to rethink everything they know about the creative, technical and business challenges to adapt to the transition to games as a service.

Games as a Service: How Free to Play Design Can Make Better Games has been written to help designers overcome many of the fears and misconceptions surrounding freemium and social games. It provides a framework to deliver better games rather than theevil ormanipulative experiences some designers fear with the move away from wasteful Products to sustainable, trustworthy Services.
