Game changer
Definition:
Any new feature—no matter how basic or specific to a particular area—which is talked about breathlessly on social media as if it’s going to unlock some amazing new level of productivity or performance.
Usually accompanied by at least one fire emoji.
Ideally, if it is in beta, that makes it more of a game changer.
Bonus: if it’s a private beta, then it’s even more of a game changer (because as we all know, controlled access to a feature is inversely proportional to game changing-ness).
The Game Changer Criteria Checklist:
- Is it new?
- Is it in beta?
- Is it in private beta?
- Is it very specific to a particular area that not many people will relate to?
- Is it hard to understand at first?
- Is it something you haven’t actually used yourself but have only seen the release notes for?
Add a point for each.
For each point, you are allowed to include an additional fire emoji in your over excited social post about it.
If you score more than 3 points you are also allowed to refer to it as an ‘insane update’.
