Games could ditch inventory systems by focusing on the 20 core items that generate 70-80% of revenue. Many already use hidden tracking systems to gather metrics. Developers could perfect these key items instead of managing sprawling inventories.
Could you eventually get rid of inventory? Yes, absolutely. There's ghost inventories and things that are done in a lot of gaming when people are— metrics are tied to that. I really wholeheartedly believe that the 20 items generate 70 to 80% of your revenue. If you get those absolutely right, nail it, those are the things that are most important. I would love to say at some point in time, no more inventory.
