The summer is over and we hope you had a good one! With the fall, pumpkin spice, and holiday season upon us, gears are definitely shifting in the gaming industry. Of course, getting to this point required diligent work even throughout the summer, and at Affogata it’s been exciting to collaborate with many of you who have been cooking :) and with good reason! Fall is historically a pretty good time for game releases, especially but not only for established franchises. For instance, in November 1994 the first Warcraft game was released. It was a milestone for the Real Time Strategy genre, popularizing it and showing the potential of multiplayer. Ten years later, in November 2004? That’s when World of Warcraft was released, taking the multiplayer experience global. Ten years later, in 2014 … the fifth expansion set for World of Warcraft. Who says we aren’t moving forward as an industry? ;) We’ve been cooking quite a bit ourselves if we dare say so, and with so much new stuff we thought this is a great time to share the latest and greatest with you. Since there’s much to go through, we’ll sort it into big, medium, and small things. Such is life - sometimes you break new ground, and sometimes you release that fifth expansion set … but it’s all designed to enable, empower, and delight.
The Player Insights Champion Awards' were designed by Affogata to recognize player-facing leaders in our industry who have shown exceptional success in adopting player feedback analytics across their organizations.
