WAYWISE
Players don't just react to what you ship. They react to what they believe you promised.
Every trailer, blog post, and interview plants beliefs that live forever. Once they take root, no amount of marketing, patching, or apology videos can undo them.
Missed expectations don't just hurt sentiment. They cost money, burn teams, and bury franchises.
WAYWISE is the expectation engine for modern game studios.
It bridges the gap between Player Belief and Studio Intent, showing where understanding aligns, where it drifts, and why. Our focus is Expectation Intelligence, helping teams avoid the mismatches that still haunt Anthem, Cyberpunk, and Starfield.
Each Expectation Report helps teams understand:
- How players interpret your message and what they believe the game will deliver.
- How those beliefs change with every reveal, update, or leak.
- The pillars players expect you to hit and the risks if you miss.
- The voices shaping those beliefs across Steam, Reddit, YouTube, and Discord.
When you know where studio intent and player belief drift apart, you can adjust messaging, focus, and production priorities before small misunderstandings become full-scale backlash.
