Joost van Dreunen

The business of video games, explained with data.

I’ve spent twenty years analyzing how the games industry makes money and what the numbers say about where it’s headed. I co-founded SuperData Research (acquired by Nielsen), teach the business of games at NYU Stern, and write the SuperJoost Playlist for 17,000+ investors, executives, and analysts.
