I went straight into market sizing and kind of forgot to anchor on why Facebook specifically.
Start by clarifying what '2D gaming product' means at Meta's scale—likely a casual, social gaming platform integrated with Facebook's existing ecosystem. Then evaluate strategic fit, user needs, competitive landscape, and monetization potential before giving a clear recommendation with risks and mitigations.
Pro tip: Anchor your answer in Meta's core strengths—social graph, identity, and existing developer platform—rather than treating this as a greenfield gaming bet. Show you understand that Meta's past gaming efforts (Instant Games, cloud gaming) inform this decision.
Define what a '2D gaming product' entails: casual games, social multiplayer, integrated with Facebook/Instagram, or a standalone platform? Ask clarifying questions to scope the opportunity.
Evaluate how this aligns with Meta's mission, existing assets (social graph, AR/VR, ads), and long-term bets. Consider whether it strengthens engagement or distracts from core priorities.
Identify target users (casual gamers, social players), their unmet needs, and competitive landscape (Roblox, Discord, mobile gaming). Size the opportunity and potential differentiation.
Consider revenue models (ads, IAP, subscriptions), impact on existing ad business, and risks like content moderation, developer adoption, and regulatory scrutiny.
Give a clear yes/no with conditions, outlining a phased approach, success metrics, and potential pitfalls to monitor.
