About the GameDiscoverCo newsletter

“A key resource for anyone in the games industry looking to learn more about game discoverability and unravel its mysteries.” - Victoria Tran, Among Us.

“As both a designer and investor, GameDiscoverCo is invaluable. The mix of data-driven insights, stories from creators, and market analysis is, quite possibly, the most valuable game-industry content I consume.” - Rand Fishkin, SparkToro
