There are many game designers in the world who spend a lot of time trying to create a perfect game design. What they think is going to work, might not actually work. In my eyes, a GDD that helps developers create a game that works well is the best.
What is a game that works well you might ask? A game that generates revenue easily is the one that works well. Even if you spent days, or even months in making a game design document, it will count for nothing if the game fails to generate revenue.
Good game designers will always think about making money through video games. That is their number 1 priority and that is the reason why, they are not afraid to revise. If the game is released and it isn't generating any money for you, then you need to revise your game design and try to make money through your game using the user base that you already have. For premium games, updates are required to keep the users happy which in turn will help you get better ratings. Better ratings result in a better ranking and your game gets downloaded more frequently. In the end, you will make more money.
The only time you do not need to revise your game design document is when you know for certain that the world does not need your game after you release it. If gamers actually need or want to play your game, they will download it and pay a good amount of money for it. People want value, and if you give it to them, they will pay well! Making games is easier than ever, but the question that most people ask is how to make money by selling video games?
A game designers job is to suggest a game that he/she thinks gamers would like to play. Of course, that doesn't always have to be the case, and certain game designers try to design a game based on where there is less competition. In general, you should always be open to revising your ideas and only give up on something if you receive absolutely no response. If you are testing a new market, get a minimum viable product out and test it before you spend months on creating a perfect game design document.
