Pre-order for the book "Up, Down, and Up Again" - the roller coaster of the gaming industry - has opened

This summer, users from Russia will be able to read the book "Up, Down, and Up Again. How the experience of gaming companies helps overcome crises" and understand the challenges studios face and how successful founders solve them.

Bombora Publishing House has opened pre-orders for the book "Up, Down, and Up Again. How the experience of gaming companies helps overcome crises." It can now be purchased for 1299 rubles.

The author, Kim Nordström, is a practitioner with over twenty years of experience in the industry: he observed ups and downs from within, working at Paradox Interactive and King (including as Vice President and General Manager).

To understand how companies achieve success, he compiled his experience in this book and also interviewed over a hundred founders, CEOs, and top managers, identifying interesting patterns.

Readers will have the chance to learn what helps studios grow, what destroys culture and management, what decisions truly pull a company out of decline, how to build management and distribute responsibility, how to recognize signs of crisis, how to prepare a company for growth, and why organizational structure affects the product more than it seems.

The book is expected to be released in July 2026.
