I really hope we continue to see more influencer consultancy opportunities like this in future, as well as more influencers pivoting to actually entering dev.

IMO the hybrid insights we can provide are invaluable - but still often underutilised. Something I'd love to do more! https://twitter.com/JuiceboxCA/status/1292478887532716032

There are of course reasons to be cautious - if fans get the wrong idea, accusations can start flying of "the #influencers ruined this!" as I've seen happen e.g with EA Gamechangers, but this is usually a total misreading of the situation at hand AFAIC. (note: I'm a Gamechanger)

The info we can bring to the table, bridging gap btwn communities' desires & the design decisions needed to make them reality, can do wonders for a project. BUT. Gotta be early enough in dev to actually make changes. Earlier the better, so get that conversation started today!!
