The Score is a collaborative editorial vertical exploring the intersection of music and video games. Every two weeks, Water & Music member Mat Ombler breaks down an underrated music/gaming case study — outlining specific insights around monetization models, marketing strategies, and creative tooling, while contextualizing the case study against higher-level business and technology trends. Our aim is for each issue to leave readers not only more informed, but also inspired to experiment and push the boundaries of what’s possible with music and gaming partnerships.
