One of the unexpected appointments of the last time. Larry Plotnick was appointed to the position of president of Big Fish Games, known today for such mobile hits as Big Fish Casino, EverMerge and Jackpot Magic.
The problem with Carpenter is that for the past 11 years he has been responsible for building business processes and finances of the Amazon division responsible for selling platform games, and later – including increasing the level of engagement on Twitch. This is quite a far cry from what Big Fish Games does.
On the other hand, it is important to keep in mind that Carpenter, most likely, has nothing to do with Amazon Game Studios, which, according to Jason Schreier’s scandalous article about Amazon processes, has not been able to release a single game in 8 years of work (now the situation is changing for the better, but there are questions about the upcoming titles)
How much Big Fish Games needed personnel changes at such a high level is an open question. Now the company is in great shape. Its monthly net revenue, according to App Magic, is more than $27 million from mobile alone.
