“LiveOps events play a vital part in user acquisition and monetization strategies for mobile game studios, but more importantly, they keep players entertained by delivering quality experiences and new content. Pulling off successful events isn’t easy and often involves multiple parties working together on tight deadlines, so we’re delighted to celebrate the incredible work of our finalists who continue to innovate and deliver the best possible events for their players.” said Brendan Fraher, General Manager at GameRefinery, a Liftoff Company.
The judging panel of analysts used GameRefinery’s Live Events Tracker, a competitive intelligence tool providing a detailed, daily analysis of live events and trends in mobile games, to select the finalists.
The Live Events Tracker helps game developers analyze the impact of live events on revenue, download figures, and in-app purchases for the most popular mobile games in the Midcore and Casual categories. The tool compares and filters live events across different games, event types, and event durations to better understand the latest trends in mobile games.
