Then Lasky and Heitzmann helped recruit Long, who was previously chief executive of Zombie Games in Seattle. Long pulled together a publishing team to host the game, handle the marketing, and undertake merchandising.
As for the state of gaming, Lasky said, “This is the most chaotic period in the game industry I can remember, and chaos is good for investors and startups. This year, I don’t think there will be a galvanizing event like Zynga’s initial public offering. But there will be a series of small events that will look significant in retrospect. Social and mobile games are clearly lower risks. But if you find an extraordinary game like Hawken, you can build a defensible competitive position.”
Mitch Lasky is a partner at Benchmark Capital, one of the venture cap firms backing Meteor for Hawken. They also invested in Riot games (League of Legends).
Now I dunno about you, but to me 'build a defensible competitive position' sounds a lot like 'I want to milk this F2P btch for all its worth and then sell it to a Chinese company.' But I could just be biased.
