📝Why Tech Giants Integrate Games on Their Platforms

Discover how major tech companies like The New York Times, Microsoft, and Netflix are incorporating games into their platforms. Learn why not all platforms benefit equally from gaming strategies.

What’s Going On Here?

Major tech companies like The New York Times, Microsoft, and Netflix are integrating games into their platforms to enhance user engagement and retention. However, the success of these strategies varies based on how well games align with each platform's core purpose and user behavior.

What Does This Mean?

The integration of games can either complement or disrupt a platform’s primary function. For example, The New York Times successfully incorporates games that align with its core value of daily user engagement, while Microsoft Teams and Netflix face challenges due to mismatches between gaming and their core value propositions or user habits.

Why Should I Care?

Understanding how and why games are integrated into different platforms can provide insights into effective user engagement strategies. For tech companies and developers, aligning games with a platform’s core purpose and user patterns is crucial for maximizing benefits and avoiding potential pitfalls like user distraction or brand dilution.

✍️ Reviews of the Week

Step into the Grim Syndicate universe for a unique TCG experience then create your own character to dive into neverending dungeon runs and loot to choose from in our two featured reviews:

Abysswalkers offers a well-designed TCG experience with an excellent tutorial that immerses players in the game's lore. The graphics are solid, with decent VFX, though additional effects for character play could enhance the experience. The audio design is competent but could benefit from more distinct sounds for attacks and effects. The gameplay is easy to understand and has depth, but the limited card variety restricts playstyle diversity.

Seraph: In the Darkness has shown consistent improvement through numerous playtests, though it hasn't reached perfection. The graphics are impressive with clear visual effects, and the audio design features well-made sound effects, though the English version has some dialogue errors. The gameplay is enjoyable and easy to understand, with initial acts being relatively easy and increasing difficulty in the void realm tiers. The endgame offers hours of play but may feel purposeless once high-level items are acquired, although item trading could appeal to some players.
