The uncomfortable truths of running a mobile studio

Tuesday, May 19, 2026
2.5 Gamers Gaming Kickoff Summit
Format: Case Study

This presentation draws on John's first year as CEO of Turborilla, viewed through the lens of 15 years spent building, operating, and advising mobile businesses. It is not a post-mortem or a victory lap, but an honest examination of the gaps between theory and practice. John will cover the uncomfortable truths that only surface once accountability is real: decision fatigue, trade-offs between craft and commercial reality, the limits of experience, and the human cost of scale. The goal is to share practical, hard-won insights that are rarely discussed, but widely felt, by leaders in mobile games.
