Men stumble over pebbles, never over mountains.

We’re growing into an entertainment medium as opposed to ‘We make games. We make Mario jump.’ We no longer have to focus so hard on the technical hurdles and can ask, as a player, why am I doing this? Why am I making these choices? Games that don’t have that strong foundation stumble.
Companies that grow for the sake of growth or that expand into areas outside their core business strategy often stumble. On the other hand, companies that build scale for the benefit of their customers and shareholders more often succeed over time.
