This week Limelight co-hosted a webinar with leading game market research firm – Newzoo International and we got a sneak peak at their latest projections for 2017 revenues in the PC/MMO market. Needless to say, this market is growing at a fast clip, with over 90% of that growth coming from Asia. Newzoo’s full report will be out June 8, 2015 and should have some really good data for those of you who follow this space. All this growth has tremendous implications for publishers’ infrastructure. PC games are hitting 30, 40, 50 GB sizes and the market’s almost at 100% digital distribution. So with games getting larger, and more gamers downloading them digitally to their PC’s the pressure is on publishers to prevent downloading from becoming a real headache for game lovers.
This is where have a media content delivery partner like Limelight comes in. Our infrastructure solutions, and extensive consulting and technical experience with game launches can help PC game developers with a successful launch, regardless of how large and feature-rich their game is. Perhaps a publisher is just releasing an expansion to an existing game, or entering the monetization phase of a game with multiple DLC releases. Careful planning, scalable solutions, and global reach can help even the small to midsize publishers reach their distribution goals – and – gamer satisfaction goals.
For solutions to some of the game distribution problems that PC and MMO publishers face, I invite you to tune into the webinar at:
