The uncomfortable truths of running a mobile studio

Tuesday, May 19, 2026
2.5 Gamers Gaming Kickoff Summit

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.
