How Scopely aimed to be a hit company, rather than just a hit game maker | co-CEOs fireside chat

Walter Driver and Javier Ferreira, co-CEOs of Scopely, spoke with me in a fireside chat at GamesBeat Summit 2024 about how they feel the product they created was the company itself, not any individual hit game.

Scopely got started in 2011 and Driver and Ferreira helped drive it to enormous success with games such as Star Trek Fleet Command and Marvel Strike Force. In 2023, they sold the company to Savvy Games Group, the Riyadh-based company financed by the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund, for $4.9 billion.
