Rundown…

• Case Studies

LIVE OPS – One definition
“What players perceive as a time limited event”
Can be:
• Gameplay, content, contest, bonuses etc
• Single or multiplayer
• Local or global
– Local = can happen at different
times for different players
– Global = system wide
• Most advanced in Japan
5
Reasons to do live ops
• Fun factor! (short term retention)
• Establishes return schedules (medium term retention)
• Community building (long term retention)
• Monetization increase
“More than half of our
Modern War revenues
comes from events”
- Mike Lu
