Games Of Aliexpress: Play-To-Earn And The Future Of Shopping

This article was originally published by Will Luton on Department of Play, which is currently open for consulting.At Department of Play, we love shopping on AliExpress, from retro console mods and arcade hardware to office equipment and clothes.But recently we’ve become fascinated by its complex web of games, which have their own mature economy that backs out to real dollar value. This is not just your typical gamification with a progress bar and a few badges, but several fully-featured mobile games connected by both real and virtual economies. It is equal parts amazing and bewildering.Like every business, games share the perennial problem of acquiring and retaining users. But uniquely the games industry has the luxury of experimenting with novel solutions that are fun and deeply human. And over the last couple of decades we’ve found and refined patterns that work. It makes sense then for other industries to embrace these mechanics.Arguably the most radical attempt to address retention in recent years has come from developers opting to financially rewarding players for their engagement: From ZBD powered’s microreward games and bigger play-to-earn experiments, to portals, like Rewarded Play and Mistplay, filling the user acquisition vacuum

Subscrible Launches Ad-Free Mobile Game Catalog

Join gaming leaders live this May 20-21 in Los Angeles to examine the strategies needed to adapt and excel in an ever evolving landscape, featuring insights from leading voices and thought leaders in the industry. Register here. Subscrible announced the launch of its game catalog app that offers an ad-free, uninterrupted gaming experience on Apple and Android smartphones. It is free for gamers to use and addresses the problem that developers frequently lose revenues from poor-quality ads, as they degrade the user experience, and disabling ads does not solve this problem for gamers, said Evgeny Unegovsky, cofounder of Limassol, Cyprus-based Subscrible, in an interview with GamesBeat.Founded by Unegovsky and former Playrix user acquisition manager, Igor Diev, the game catalog has already gained over 15,000 users.Subscrible has 15,000 players.By leveraging a single acquisition to engage users across multiple titles, Subscrible significantly reduces acquisition costs. It’s important to note that while game companies spend nearly $27 billion on user acquisition, only about 10% of this investment is recouped as revenue from game studios, primarily through non-intrusive advertising formats, the company said
