Main Day 2 - Wednesday 10th September

2:15 PM Presentation – To the GWENTfinity and Beyond: How CD PROJEKT RED Put GWENT On the Path of Sustainability with Players' Needs in Mind

Not every live service game can run forever, but knowing when and how to transition from active development to sustained support is critical for long-term success. This session will explore how CD PROJEKT RED successfully made such a switch for its popular live service card battler by involving players in the process:

Identifying the right time to transition a game to a self-sustaining model or phase it out.
Optimising monetisation for a self-sustaining model while keeping players engaged.
Aligning development, LiveOps, and business strategy to provide players with game management tools.

Check out the incredible speaker line-up to see who will be joining Vladimir.
