Under David Guo's leadership, Top Games Inc. prioritizes the free sharing of information throughout the company, except in cases involving legal or privacy concerns. The company emphasizes data-driven decision-making and recognizes the valuable learning opportunities from early failures and mistakes.

“Using data science to break through personal bias, and OKRs to stretch ourselves to become better, we opt to work on the things that can lead to the biggest impact on our players. The culture that David created is part of the uniqueness that Top Games offers our industry,” stated Benjamin Gifford.

Top Games Inc. nurtures a strong sense of ownership among its team members. They are encouraged to align with the company’s culture and best interests, taking responsibility for embodying the team’s goals and values, and driving initiatives for success. By providing teams with access to information, supporting their decisions, and empowering them, Top Games Inc. expects its teams to discover and resolve issues proactively.
