Video game makers don’t just sell games. They use technology to develop an ongoing relationship with players and then “monetize” those relationships. For instance, a fan who is reluctant to purchase a game outright may be persuaded by frequent “microtransactions” that are content-related to drive a more emotional connection with the consumer. And at a later point, when the game makers have made that emotional connection, they trust that through this meaningful engagement the gamer will eventually buy.

The Paris Air Show kicked off this weekend with a briefing for journalists — or at least that’s how the jet engine maker CFM International got things going. To CFM, this year’s show is special. Eleven years ago, in 2008, the company announced in a hotel conference room just off the Avenue des Champs-Élysées that it would build a revolutionary new jet engine called the LEAP. Speaking in the same room on Saturday, Gaël Méheust, CFM's president and CEO, told reporters that the jet engine was “delivering on what we promised.”
