How Games Make Money — and What Every PM Can Steal From Game Psychology | Ron Finkelstein, PLAYSTUDIOS

Description

Ron Finkelstein, product director at PLAYSTUDIOS (Slotomania), unpacks a decade in the gaming industry — from Playtika, through casual and social casino games, to managing a veteran game in Tel Aviv. The conversation breaks down how a game becomes profitable: economy, monetization, retention, the VIP audience, and store pricing. Alongside that, Ron explains what product managers in B2C/B2B can steal from game psychology, and what he looks for when hiring product people.
