In an interview with GamesBeat, Chen highlighted Lil Snack’s focus on aligning game content with current events, stating, “When something happens in the world, you’re playing it on Lil Snack.” The team intends to leverage distribution partnerships with platforms like Amazon Prime and BuzzFeed for user acquisition instead of investing in marketing efforts.
