I saw this ocean.
I saw two oceans, you know, two bodies of water, social networking and video games.
So I was thinking, okay, if this works, it opens a little crack into mass market casual gaming.
And I had this belief.
One of the things I talk about in the book that I just fucking love, and I will encourage your listeners to consider, this is available to all of us all the time.
Find a mature market that's over, that's done, that's dead, that's been played out.
Online dating, eBay with listings, or...
Analog businesses that are not attractive, they're almost not investable, like VCs won't like them, they're red oceans, they're not growth markets.
Find a market like that, but it has a lot of money in it, and it has a proven behavior in it, and that's video gaming.
By the way, here's a gift, here's an Easter egg, take video gaming.
In 2007, it was a $23 billion industry.
It was barely growing.
There was no, it wasn't a top 10 behavior on the consumer web.
And it was stupid to go into.
No, it was not fundable, okay?
Here we are 19 years later.
It's a $283 billion industry that's not fundable, okay?
It's not growing.
It's mature.
You'd have a really tough time getting a VC to fund it.
