MANAGING A POPULATION OF PLAYERS OF ONLINE GAMES |
| 摘要 |
A method includes determining a first target population of players in a first online game, identifying a current population of players in the first online game, and providing either (a) an incentive for at least one player in the current population to switch from the first online game to a second online game in response to determining that the current population of players is greater than the target population of players, or (b) an incentive for at least one player outside the current population to play the first online game in response to determining that the current population of players is less than the target population of players. A target population of players may be determined, for example, by correlating a parameter of player satisfaction, such as player duration in-game, with the population of players in the game. |
