you're running one of the biggest gaming platforms nobody's talking about you went from 10 million players to 100 million players in six years that's about 1 billion game plays a month what is how are people missing this what's in hindsight like how many people are the same players returning on a day and day after basis is it repetitive do you see retention

Yeah, so it's 100 million monthly active users.

And I think to answer that question, maybe take one step back.

So roughly 10 years ago, 2014, Poki was founded.

And I think it all started with this sort of universal human behavior that play is so important.
5:43
And I think we figured, The easier you make it to access play, the more people can enjoy it.
5:49
So the vision has always been let the world play.

popular right now and it might be a silly game that's quick and short but it's some some sort of short form game i could put out really quickly right so i think it goes against that mental model of oh it's a web game it must just be a quick easy game because as easy it is to access it it's easy to quit that game and go to another game so how are you going to make that game strong
