Employing more than 2,300 across a highly successful games portfolio, Scopely has had to build up a system of knowledge sharing within the company to ensure learnings don’t get lost. Or worse, that developers across the firm make the same, avoidable mistakes. Speaking at Pocket Gamer Connects San Francisco, Scopely president of games Steve Huff delved into the company’s ‘learning machine’ philosophy designed to support its teams across its portfolio.
