Who are we and why should I give you my email?

The Summit is free between the go live dates. And we charge between 99 and 249USD for membership access. It’s totally free though, no strings attached?

Why do we charge?

Nicola works on this full time and it is a business. The long-term aim is to create in-depth masterclasses on really key business areas in video games. Things like pitching, creating viable games and prototyping, digital marketing and other great things.

It was a tough decision on whether to use the timer.

We use the timer for the lowest price point. It’s a price point that we don’t make a profit on. For a quick decision, which saves us time and marketing spend, we pass that discount onto you.

We wanted to reward the ‘early-adopter’ customers. We offer a full, no questions asked refund within 30-days.
