Industrybroadcast.com is proud to welcome another wonderful author who is graciously sharing his insight and knowledge with us all. His name is Philippe Ringuette-Angrignon and his website is http://www.allegory-of-the-game.com/. Please note that in today’s article I said that his blog is at allegoryofthegame.com instead of http://www.allegory-of-the-game.com/, before I realized the mistake the podcast as recorded, mixed, sampled and exported. So hopefully he will forgive me for that

Thank you for sharing this insight. There is a lot of truth in it. Especially with more and more free-to-play games out there, users try more and stick with less products as they did just five years ago. Meeting expectations always must consider what background the potential audience has. If you target to an unexperienced (often called casual) audience, you cannot expect them to have a broad background your product can speak to.
Again, thanks for sharing.
