#071: The death of platform exclusives? Inside gaming's new survival formula 🎮 (feat. Free Steam Games!)

The recent declaration by Sony SIE's president to strengthen live services and Roblox's unveiling of its first adults-only content clearly demonstrate a massive paradigm shift in the global gaming industry. 🎮 On top of this, the start of pre-registration for 'Dave the Diver' on mobile and the continuous live updates for existing hit titles prove that platform boundaries have completely collapsed. These changes are fundamentally reshaping **consumer game consumption structures**. The consumption pattern, which used to be limited to one-off title purchases, has shifted toward continuously staying and consuming value within a single game or platform. 💸 Companies are actively implementing strategies to overcome hardware sales limits and secure long-term Customer Lifetime Value (LTV). Ultimately, the survival formula of the modern gaming industry depends on **how sophisticatedly they can capture users' 'Share of Time' rather than simply releasing new titles**. This is precisely why platform holders are expanding their targets to adult content and betting their lives on multi-platform live services. 📈 Going forward, the walls between platforms and genres will break down even faster, and the 'lock-in war' to keep users within one's territory is expected to become even more intense. 🔍 In this constantly evolving gaming ecosystem, which platform is most perfectly occupying your 'time'?
