Day 2 - Wednesday 30th April, 2025

4:55 PM Panel: What Do Players Really Want?

  • Sharing perspectives on player preferences—are they drawn to immersive, story-driven experiences of single-player games, or is the growing appetite for live, interactive, and evolving content impossible to ignore?
  • Why Don’t We Just Do Single Player Games? Debate whether the one-time investment in single-player games with a clear launch and completion cycle offers greater financial security compared to the ongoing demands and uncertainties of live service models.
  • Success, Failure, and Risk in Live Service Gaming: The investment required to sustain live games—ongoing content creation, infrastructure, and player retention strategies—and the high risk of failure if engagement falters. Is the potential for massive, long-term success worth the significant upfront and operational costs, especially when many live games struggle to break through?
