This is the correct answer for basically every "Does the world need another X?" , even including some of the more cliched examples. https://t.co/5VBs1VVKCO

"Does the world need another mobile games studio?" I don't know if I'd devote my life to running a mobile games studio, but people clearly devote their lives to e.g. producing music. Over the course of human history, we have produced a fair amount of music... but we want more.

@patio11 You got me thinking now. “Does the world need...” is itself a very loaded question, burdened with a tedious and anti-useful frame

@patio11 There are only two questions you need to ask 1. Does it spark joy? 2. Can you make the unit economics work?

@visakanv @patio11 *whisper* yes, and ethics and wardley maps seem helpful here, adjacent to 1 and 2
