As far back as solo developer Sandro Luiz de Paula (aka ansdor) can remember he always wanted to be a game developer. Growing up in a small town in Brazil and without any contacts or network in the gamesindustry, his only option was to go solo. But that didn’t discourage him at all: “I wouldn’t feel comfortable working on a game if I had to just follow someone else’s ideas.

In my view, one of the best games of last year was by Ubisoft. Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope is a wonderful strategy game, and I'd picked it to be a breakout hit. Its predecessor had exceeded ten million players, it was the Mario game of Christmas, and its only real competition was Pokémon, which was arriving a month later. It didn't quite work out that way.

A lot of discussion and consideration goes into deciding what to do. The size of these groups makes a big difference in helping us put player opinions into context. For example, if group X is 40% of our player base and group Y is only 0.4%, chances are pretty good our leadership will lean towards group X’s opinion. That doesn’t necessarily mean that the majority always rules either - player opinions are only one factor in a big set of multi-variable equations.
