Hello Bay Area Game Developers, *Do you want more players for your games this year?*
*How about more engaged players that spend more in each play session?* *Are you worried about this not happening?* We have all heard the less than optimistic coverage on game revenues. According to the NPD group/Gamasutra US retail video game industry sales January 2010 sales decreased 13% from the same time last year<http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/27219/NPD_US_January_Retail_Video_Game_Sales_Sink_13_Percent.php> . Even social game viral growth, a major buzz area over the last few years, is not as easy with Facebook virality changes and the rise of game companies with massive user bases and large marketing muscle.<http://www.allfacebook.com/2010/05/facebook-app-virality-not-dead-yet-but-dying-slowly/> How do you prevent yourself from being part of these statistics?
