During a very eventful week of gaming conferences, the FastSpring team was on site at Game Developers Conference San Francisco to meet game publishers and devs and find out how FastSpring can help them monetize their mobile games.
As part of our sponsorship of GDC and the Community Clubhouse Developer Summit, FastSpring CMO David Vogelpohl hosted a panel on web store success, with panelists including FastSpring Head of Gaming Chip Thurston, Keywords Studios Head of VIP Services Jason Dauenhauer, and Nexus Head of Developer Success Travis Neiderhiser.
Note: A major U.S. court ruling was released on April 30, 2025, with a judge declaring that Apple’s anti-steering policies for purchases outside of apps are anticompetitive and were to be discontinued immediately. This panel discussion took place before the April 30 ruling. The situation continues to develop; for more, follow our Industry News posts or sign up for our newsletter using the form on the right side of this page.
Check out the video below to learn:
- Why web store adoption is increasing among game publishers and developers, but has room to increase as more gaming companies realize that avoiding web shops leaves them at a competitive disadvantage.
- Why mid-value players should not be neglected as an opportunity for web store revenue growth expansion beyond VIPs or whales.
- How building a web store that looks like your game can greatly reduce buying journey friction and make it easier for players to go there and make purchases.
- And so much more.
