Thanks a lot for being with GameDev Reports in 2024! Happy New Year!
And see you next year!
Hello, dear subscribers.
It’s been a long year with its ups and downs; a lot of new great game releases; F2P struggles; gatekeeper pressure & many other things. And I’m glad that we experienced all of this together.
Starting the journey years ago, I had no idea, that I’ll write for thousands of gaming industry professionals. I’m flattering each time people tell me in DM or somewhere at the conference “Oh, it’s you! I’m subscribed”. It’s a very pleasant feeling. Thanks for reading!
A little bit of annual stats (at the end, we’re about data!):
You received newsletters from me more than 400 times this year. Sorry for cluttering your inbox!
The number of followers exceeded 5,5k people; email subscribers soon will reach this milestone (followers include those who subscribed via Substack)
More than 330k unique users have seen posts from me this year. Wow, that’s a lot.
3,212 people joined the GameDev Reports in 2024. This year the audience doubled (and even a little more)!
In 2024 I’ve also launched Premium subscriptions, many tried it already. It’s a “quality-of-life” thing, to conveniently get access to the data. Thanks to all Premium supporters, this means a lot to me (and also helps me financially). I’m committed to making the Premium subscription more valuable in 2025. If there are any specific requests, please, let me know!
I wish you all the best in the upcoming 2025. Play games, love games, build games! And the newsletter will always be around when you’ll need a little bit more data.
Best regards,
Dima Byshonkov
Always look forward to the quick, daily data dump. Thank you, sir!
