Live Service Games and Their Impact on Player Behaviors: Obstacles and Opportunities
February 15, 2024 | Seating 1: 10:00 am - 11:00 am; Seating 2: 11:30 am - 12:30 pm| Location: ARIA Resort, Ironwood Ballroom 7 & 8
Live service titles can provide ongoing revenue and stickiness well above the typical game, causing publishers and studios to chase success with seasonal content drops and season passes. But this push has led to a shift in player behaviors, with players choosing a “primary” title that consumes a disproportionate share of their time and wallets. What could this mean for developers looking to secure a viable player base, and how might it change the development process of games as a whole?
In this roundtable, join Richard Goldsmith, senior manager, Deloitte Consulting LLP, in exploring both the challenges and opportunities around live service game trends. We’ll discuss strategies intended to encourage trial—or conversely, loyalty—to help provide a better chance at success, and systems to better understand player behaviors and maximize discovery, trial, and retention.
