Amy Jo Kim: Deconstructing The Best Social Games
Hey guys! This week I'm stoked to have Amy Jo Kim on the podcast. Amy is the co-founder of Game Thinking, a company dedicated to helping the world's largest game developers accelerate product innovation and drive engagement from the ground up. This podcast is all about deconstructing what makes the best games, well, the best. Amy spends most of the time discussing how the best games create social network effects, and how game developers can find their "super fans" earlier. Additionally, Amy shares stories from her days helping eBay in the late 1990s, as well as assisting in the development of the world-renowned game, The Sims.
