One of the best things about Game Pitch Arena is that the whole thing happens live - real projects, real feedback, real questions from publishers.

If you missed it or want to revisit the pitches, you can watch the full session here: https://youtu.be/O0XBpWJz6Vo

Curious what publishers actually ask during pitches? This is probably one of the most transparent ways to see it in practice.

It was a pleasure and a privilege to get a guided tour of gamescom latam by one of the main men himself, André Poubel. Obrigado! 🙏

Oh, and a classic networking moment:
- “Let’s connect via LinkedIn!” 🤝
- “Wait… we’re already connected.” 👀
- “Old buddy!” 😍

Now, 2 busy days packed with meetings ahead of us...

30,000 games a year. Fragmented audiences. Unpredictable algorithms.

The gaming market didn't get worse, discovery did.

As our co-founder mentioned in a recent CzechCrunch interview:

"Before COVID, you could estimate a title's sales within around ten percent. Today? It's practically impossible."

At Sail.game, we think good games deserve better than luck. So we built a platform that combines Steam data, hundreds of publisher conversations, and real consulting expertise to bring some clarity back.
