Quotes from Cameron and Matej:
"It’s always a tough job to run a cross-promotion, other from a valuation standpoint or just from a point of talking to the game team.
You can cross-promote players across different games and can be successful. It’s about trying to identify user segments and trying to find sweet spots where they might churn.
I was always a big fan of cross-promotion, it’s been thought to evolve it properly."
