Pivoting to Casino Life Poker made this a better company to work for

Pros
Small team development, remote work allowed, AGILE process works, Unity game engine, Amazon Web Services stack, no crunching. Vision was a real problem with WoK, which was in perpetual start-up mode on an aging code base. Focusing on Poker has really helped change the team from a proprietary social game platform team to a Unity game development studio.
Cons
Some of the grander ideas are yet to come to fruition, hampered by a tendency to allow the team to shrink rather than back fill positions. The management is risk averse and tends to favor a more fast-following derivative approach to design. There is a fear of hiring artists and a lack of understanding on how important art is to make a game successful. Decisions seem to be based on more on budgetary concerns rather than what will make the game successful. Marketing spend is very minimal. The idea that utility token can somehow fund the viral marketing effort is yet to bear fruit. Raises are rare, even for cost of living, though the pay is competitive.
