01
The teardown of the month
A recent Steam launch dissected: Steam page, creators who covered it, velocity curve, what worked and what didn't.
02
Three numbers that matter
Three metrics from SteamDB, GameDiscoverCo or VG Insights that shed light on a trend of the month. No invented numbers.
03
One actionable observation
Something we saw at a studio this week that we haven't seen anywhere else. Brief, useful, no pitch.

One recommended read
An article, a post-mortem, a Twitter thread or a video worth your time. With one sentence saying why.
