Game companies (with some exceptions like Nintendo) don't last! They are not long-term defensible. In tech, the FAANG companies are massively defensible. In fact, Amazon today is the most valuable and most defensible company in the world. In the video games industry, we don’t see the same level of long-term defensibility that we see in those industries. After lots of great feedback and discussion after posting a blog post about this issue, we decided to bring some smart folks to talk about this. Here's the written blog post So the topic of our discussion today is as follows: - #1. What are the current defensibility strategies of game companies today? - #2. How defensible are gaming companies? - #3. How can game companies build greater long-term defensibility? - #4. How should management teams be thinking about building greater defensibility into their companies? - #5. Which game company has the greatest defensibility in the market today? And with us today to speak to all of these issues and more are: - #1. Lloyd Melnick, GM of Chumba Casino at VGW - #2. Kristian Segerstrale, CEO of Super Evil Megacorp - #3. Mark Sottosanti, SVP at Riot Games Your host/moderator: - Joe Kim, CEO of LILA Games, YouTuber at GameMakers, and DOF Podcast Co-host/Producer, Twitter/Insta: @jokim1 --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/deconstructoroffun/support

Mit seinem CS:GO-Team ist SK Gaming eine der erfolgreichsten Esport-Organisationen der Welt. Das Traditionsteam aus Deutschland setz seit 20 Jahren Maßstäbe im Esport und wird auch in Zukunft wegweisend sein. Daher hat man sich vor einiger Zeit entschieden, mit Vainglory einen unorthodoxen Weg einzuschlagen. Das MOBA wird nämlich auf mobilen Endgeräten gespielt und unterscheidet sich daher äußerst stark von Dota 2, LoL und Co. Wagt SK damit ein riskantes Experiment oder ist dies ein sicherer Schritt in Richtung Zukunft? Wir reden mit dem SK-Vainglory-Pro Maximilian John, besser bekannt als Tyruzz, über das Spiel und seine Faszination sowie über seine Rolle im Esport. Vain-Was? Obwohl wir schon des Öfteren Gäste aus der Vainglory-Szene begrüßen durften, kennt vielleicht noch nicht jeder. Das mobile MOBA wird von Super Evil Megacorp entwickelt und lässt sich bequem auf dem Smartphone spielen. Im Gegensatz zu seinen großen Brüdern, LoL und Dota 2, sind die Mechaniken dementsprechend weit runtergeschraubt: Es gibt pro Helden nur drei Fähigkeiten, nur eine Lane und gesteuert wird mittels Berührungen auf dem Screen. Traumberuf Esportler? Maximilian hat seine Lehre zum Elektriker für Betriebstechnik absolviert, um etwas festes in der Hand zu halten. Kurz danach wurde er von SK Gaming rekrutiert und ist mit seiner beruflichen Umorientierung sehr zufrieden. Tatsächlich war es immer sein Traum, irgendwann einmal Progamer zu werden. Dennoch weiß er, dass dies jederzeit auch schiefgehen kann. Gut also, dass er zur Not ein zweites Standbein hat! Obwohl es sich beim Gaming um Maximilians Traumberuf handelt, darf man nicht außer Acht lassen, dass es sich um mehr als einen Fulltime-Job handelt. Damit er als Profi mit seinem Team Erfolg hat, reicht es nicht, ein paar Stunden täglich vor sich herzudaddeln. Mit einem Acht-Stunden-Tag ist es im Esport nicht getan, denn neben dem Spiel selber, gibt es noch viele andere Bereiche, die in seine Arbeit miteinfließen. Wollt ihr noch mehr über Maximilian erfahren? Dann folgt ihm doch auf der SK-Seite oder Twitter!

Vainglory ist ein Mobiles MOBA vergleichbar mit League of Legends oder Heroes of the Storm. Vainglory wurde von Super Evil Megacorp 2014 veröffentlicht und genießt sehr gute Bewertungen in den Appstores. Erhältlich ist es für Android und iOS. Der in Bremen geborene und in Düsseldorf lebende Tomek Borowka, der Wirtschaftsrecht an einer Westphälischen Hochschule studierte, war schon damals ein Gamer, der jedoch anfänglich nicht groß in die Öffentlichkeit trat und arbeitet für Super Evil Megacorp. Alltag eines Esport Koordinators Der Alltag eines Esport Koordinators ist sehr vielfältig. Tomek ist in vielen verschiedenen Projekten für Vainglory eingespannt. Organisation der Gamescom und dem Auftritt von Vainglory auf dieser, Zusammenarbeit mit den Professionellen Teams, Präsentation des Spieles auch bei großen Firmen bei Amazon und vieles mehr. Langweilig wird es als Koordinator sicher nicht. Mit Nintendo fing alles an Anfänglich spielte er auf dem Gameboy und generell hat er viel von Nintendo gespielt. Doch lernte er dann über Counter-Strike die Welt der Computerspiele kennen. Auch noch heute spielt er Counter-Strike aktiv im Ranked. Das einzig andere Spiel, dass momentan gespielt wird ohne online zu sein ist Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Aufbau der VGL Learning by doing Als Tomek Vainglory sah war es ihm klar: Vainglory wird der neue Hit. Als er gerade Sport war kam ihm die Idee für das Spiel, dass zu dieser Zeit noch nicht released war. Ende 2014 gründete er dann die VGL und veranstaltete Turniere. Doch damals war er noch unerfahren und stürzte sich in etwas komplett unbekanntes. Anfänglich gab es noch keinen Zuschauermodus, so war das eigentliche 3v3 Spiel nur noch ein 2v2. Die dritten standen jeweils AFK in der Base, mit diesen wurde dann zugeschaut und gestreamt. Der Entwickler schaltete sich ein Es dauerte nicht lange bis sich der Entwickler bei Tomek meldete und positives Feedback gab. Gemeinsam wurde geschaut was man tun kann. Anfänglich war er Contractor und so kam es dazu, dass er bei Super Evil Megacorp im Team einen Platz gefunden hatte. Das ganze begann über Skype mit seiner Cheffin, nachdem er in das Vainglory Forum eine Einladung zum Turnier postete. Wie schaut die Zukunft aus? Weiterhin will Tomek für Vainglory weiterarbeiten. Er will offen sein für die nächsten Jahre in Europa. Wirklich eine klare Vision hat er dabei nicht, sondern einfach „nur“ für Vainglory weiterzuarbeiten und in die Zukunft zu bringen. Innerhalb der nächsten Jahre sieht er sich nicht die Branche zu verlassen. Warum Mages besser als Autohitter sind oder warum die Gamescom besser als die E3 ist erfährst du am Ende des Podcasts.

Stephan leaves off the conversation with his final piece of guidance to any new or potential startup founders, encouraging them to simply give it a try.

Vor einigen Wochen haben wir bereits einige Podcasts dem MOBA Vainglory gewidmet und das wollen wir auch heute wieder tun. Das mobile ‚League of Legends‘ ist praktisch eine abgespeckte Version des Riot-Hits, welches man unterwegs spielen kann. Das Spiel wird von Super Evil Megacorp. produziert, die mit Vainglory den Nerv der Zeit treffen, indem sie ein überaus populäres Spielprinzip mit der Erreichbarkeit durch Smartphones paaren. Wir begrüßen daher Misa “Face” Kojic recht herzlich zum Interview, seines Zeichens Vainglory Manager bei G2 Esports. Die Organisation hat bereits recht erfolgreiche Teams in LoL, CS:GO, Hearthstone und Super Smash Bros. und hat nun mit dem Vainglory-Team einen weiteren Squad, um den Esport zu prägen. Misa erzählt uns, was den Reiz am mobile MOBA ausmacht und welche Perspektiven sein Team hat. So hat G2 nur äußerst knapp den Einzug zu den World Championships verpasst. Dennoch lässt sich das junge, talentierte Team nicht unterkriegen und arbeitet weiter am Erfolg. Misa hat natürlich die Worlds trotzdem verfolgt und weiß einiges zu berichten. So konnte er beobachten, wie sehr das Metagame-Verständnis der Teams von einander abweicht. Und auch die koreanische Dominanz, die aus anderen Titeln bekannt ist, schien sich dort zu etablieren. Gerade bei einem so neuen Spiel ist es immer spannend, solche Entwicklungen mitzukriegen. Als Manager des Squads ist Misa seinen Jungs natürlich im Alter voraus und hat die Entwicklung des Genres mitgemacht. Tatsächlich war er zu Frozen Throne-Zeiten von Dota angetan, welches als Vorlage für MOBA heute gilt. Mit seinem großen Schatz an Erfahrung ist Misa nicht nur Manager, sondern auch „die Mama vom Dienst“. Somit kümmert er sich nicht nur um die Organisation, sondern auch um den Kummer und die Sorgen der Spieler. Neben dem spielerischen Können ist nämlich auch ein gesundes Mindset eine Grundvoraussetzung für den Erfolg. Wer noch nicht den Einstieg in den Esport gewagt hat oder auf der Suche nach Abwechslung ist, kann bei Vainglory definitiv fündig werden. Die junge Szene kann ein beeindruckendes Wachstum vorweisen. Zudem kann immer und überall trainiert werden. Falls ihr noch mehr Infos braucht, bevor ihr damit startet, hört euch doch einfach den Podcast an!
