Gaming demands real-time, virality and high UX standards
The gaming ecosystem has its rules: demanding young audience, potential viral exposure at any time (a tournament, a popular streamer), non-negotiable real-time on stats and scores, specific monetization (cosmetics, subscriptions, in-app ads).
The real trap: building an app that works in normal times but crashes at 100,000 concurrent users during an esports final. The gaming community is unforgiving with apps that crash at the wrong moment.
