With 24 consecutive tweets published on January 12, 2023, Brawlstars Game Lead Frank Keienburg used an imaginary game company to explain how game companies operate and the costs of making games. IMO, he shared fascinating insights even though he admitted there's simplification in his thread.
I first learned about Mr. Keienburg when Team Brawlstars went global in 2018 and they chose him as their Game Lead. Brawlstars joined the other four Supercell live games to gross $1B in sales during their lifetime per blog written by the Supercell CEO in 2022.
At the end of the thread, someone commented about the duties of a Game Lead and here's his reply.
EDIT: I included a link to his tweets and confirmed the link in BBCode view, but I don't see the link in regular viewing mode using Chrome but was able to see tweet using Edge. That's odd.

The role "Game Lead" is pretty ambiguous at Supercell. Here Game Leads are ultimately responsible for the people in a game team and the game as a whole (and as a business).
If that business is dysfunctional, it's my responsibility that we address it. One way or another.
