Abstract

As the market for social games becomes more and more important, many game developers try to enter this market. However, firms must be aware that this market features some special economic features which distinguish it from traditional markets. As this market matures, competition gets fiercer and consumers become more demanding. Moreover, the social networks interests also challenge the game developers. This paper analyzes the market, identifies important factors of success and pricing strategies, and derives recommendations.
