Video: Panel on “Monetization and Business Models for Flash Games”
Flash Games Summit
Yesterday I attended the first ever Flash Games Summit which has a bunch of informative sessions and interesting people involved. Thanks to Mochi Media for inviting me!
Monetization panel
I moderated a panel called “Monetization and Business Models for Flash Games” with:
- Adam Caplan from Super Rewards
- Kate Connally, AddictingGames
- Jameson Hsu, Mochi Media
- Kenny Rosenblatt, Arkadium Games
This was a nice mix of people because it represented a virtual goods-focused payments platform (Super Rewards), an ad network (Mochi Media), a content portal (AddictingGames), and a developer (Arkadium), so there was a variety of interesting viewpoints.
Panel topics
We covered a variety of topics, including:
- How do the different players (ad network, portal, etc.) make money?
- What are the biggest factors in driving monetization?
- What are the differences in monetizing demographics and geographical areas?
- What kinds of games are more successful at monetization?
- How are social gaming folks different than flash gaming creators?
- What are the key metrics they look at?
- How has the recession changes their business, and how will it affect the industry overall?
- .. and many more!
Hope you enjoy watching the discussion.
Here’s the video – enjoy!

lol. I should probably flag this as spam. Or at least disqus should build in a flag for “shill”

Hey Andrew-
Wondering if you can give me some advice on how to approach developing a unique flash game. If you have the time, I have some real basic/dumb questions haha
By chance, do you know Craig Johansen from RevScience?

I liked the topic “What are the differences in monetizing demographics and geographical areas?” because I think is very important to understand how these factors interfere and influence the whole perspective.

You seem like you had some good time at the Flash Games Summit. What got my attention while looking over your material was the fifth topic, “How are social gaming folks different than flash gaming creators?”. Did you come up with an answer based on studies? Or do you just know a lot of people from the gaming industry, so you've just thought of them and come up with an explanation?
