This episode is hosted by our Founder, Ivan Trancik, and joining him as a guest is Ian Marsh, Co-Owner of NimbleBit. This really is a fascinating story as there aren’t many games that have stood the test of time and survived for over a decade. In fact, NimbleBit hasn’t just survived, it has thrived in recent years and one of their games has broken a 10-year-old monthly revenue record just last month! So, if you’re looking for advice or just want to hear this insightful yet interesting story, we recommend you give this one a listen!
