The western and eastern MMO market.

2007-07-16 15:19:00 by Gameloading in Gameloading's MMORPG blog
 
...market with other people. Which MMO will be the next MMO to dominate the market? Will an MMO do well or will it fail? What company will reigh supreme? Things like that. I often refer to the asian MMO market, and people often ask me "Why?". Why should we, as western gamers, care what happens on the other side of the world? Who cares which...

Mass market MMORPGs

2008-01-09 08:10:00 by Tobold in Tobold's MMORPG Blog
 
...market MMORPGs. That move towards the mass market comes with a design cost, as the only way to attract large numbers of subscribers is to make your game accessible for everybody. You need to lower the barriers to success until people who aren't very dedicated can overcome it. And you need to design your game in a way that people don't really...

Tobold's MMORPG Blog: Mass market MMORPGs and hidden gems

2008-06-25 04:31:23 by Editor in VirginWorlds MMO News
 
...market MMORPGs and hidden gems I think you'll have noticed by now that I am a fan of mass market MMORPGs, and Richard Bartle is a fan of hidden gems. If I understand his explanation correctly this is because I play for fun, and he plays to look at the underlying mechanisms and innovation. I can agree with Dr. Bartle that if you make a list...

Oh, forget about market share!

2007-12-14 10:49:00 by Tobold in Tobold's MMORPG Blog
 
...market share that I'm starting to wonder whether these people are so naive, or whether they are trying to mislead. Look at the graphs for example on Raph Koster's website , or the market share graph on VOIG MMOGdata . Raph shows WoW as one among many players between Club Penguin and Habo Hotel. VOIG shows WoW on top, but closely followed by...

Mobile Game Market - Bear or Bull?

2007-11-07 23:27:00 by YDogg in Mobile Phone Blog
 
...market was tepid at best If you're familiar with the space, you know the current challenges - (lack of consumer awareness, distribution bottlenecks through carriers, too many publishers and games, crappy games, etc., etc.) The consensus from folks like M:Metrics and others is that the business is flat.

John Stevenson, analyst for Shore Capital, believes that the video game market - in the UK , at least - will reach its zenith this year, and that if we don't see a new console arrive , the market can only decrease in the years to come Unless we see new hardware launches into the UK...

Market report, day 1.

2008-07-22 17:11:23 by syncaine in Hardcore Casual
 
...marketing report Bought: 10,000 Large Antimatter rounds at 120 ISK per Sold: Nothing The market was quite a little too quite. Actually the above is only half true, I did sell some random stuff, but it was not off the new buy/sell orders I created for the market experiment. In all fairness, only about 20 of the possible 46 (I think) market...
