In September of 2013, @nathanjurgenson wrote a piece for @Snap's blog: "The Liquid Self"

Honestly sort of insane that @mitchlasky presented this at GDC in 2012…
Note: He calls out that the shift to free-to-play in games was NOT a business model innovation.
Instead, it was a distribution innovation.
