Riot Games' Teamfight Tactics' set 10, Remix Rumble, performed brilliantly, innovatively integrating music (showcasing Riot's incredible music capabilities alongside the genius of Steve Aoki) with exciting strategic gameplay. With the release of set 10, the number of active TFT players increase by 40% week over week and TFT achieved revenue all time highs, according to Sensor Tower data. With the recent release of set 11, the question was, "will players bleed away with the end of set 10, given set 11 isn't quite on the same scale? Or will Riot be able to re-engage this expanded playerbase"? The answer, so far, seem so to be yes. While revenue didn't spike to the levels of Remix Rumble, active users appear to be hovering near all time highs. While the bop that is Remix Rumble (and the killer music video that went with it) and the innovative music integration brought in players, it seems that TFT has managed to hook their new audience. As one of those recently hooked players (I hadn't played TFT since set 3.5, and now I can't stop playing), I've found myself enjoying the new set quite a bit. We don't have Steve Aoki DJing for us every game, but the visuals of Inkborn Fables are gorgeous (and likely very appealing to TFT's vast Chinese audience), and I personally find the gameplay even better than set 10, with mechanics like Exalted and Encounters rewarding creativity and flexibility while still supporting several easier paths for newer players. I'm looking forward to continuing to play patch 14.7 (which dropped today), praying to Mortdog for high rolls. We're going to be living in a Kaisa meta, quote me. #gaming #gamingindustry #teamfightingtactics

You raise an excellent point about the importance of intellectual property (IP) protection in the lucrative video game industry. Video games are indeed brimming with various forms of IP that can and should be safeguarded to maintain exclusivity and prevent unauthorized copying or imitation. Some of the key IP considerations in video games include: 1. Copyright: This covers the original software code, artwork, music, and other creative elements that make up the game. Copyright allows game developers to exclusively control the use and distribution of these creative works. 2. Trademarks: Iconic game titles, characters, logos, and other distinctive brand identifiers can be registered as trademarks to prevent competitors from using confusingly similar marks. 3. Patents: Innovative game mechanics, technologies, and processes employed in video games may be eligible for patent protection, which grants the owner exclusive rights over the invention. 4. Trade Secrets: Sensitive information about a game's development, algorithms, and other internal know-how can be protected as trade secrets to maintain a competitive advantage. The legal dispute you mentioned between Riot Games and Moonton Games over their MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) games is a prime example of how fiercely video game companies will defend their IP rights. These legal battles can be protracted and expensive, but they are crucial to protecting the substantial investments made in creating successful game franchises. Effective IP management not only shields a game from direct copying but also enables game developers to fully capitalize on their creations through licensing, merchandising, and other revenue streams. As the video game industry continues to grow, robust IP protection will remain essential to safeguarding the substantial creative and commercial value inherent in these interactive digital works.
IP for video games Video games are a big profit maker in the entertainment industry today, and as creative works they are full of intellectual property. It can be used to make recognisable features exclusive and prevent competitors from copying game elements. The protracted legal dispute between Riot Games and Moonton Games, for example, centred on the protection of their popular MOBA game. #IP #videogames

Riot Games is stepping into a new arena with 2XKO. Continuing from my last post - Answering “where we will play” for Riot ‘s upcoming fighting game, 2XKO, can really be subdivided into platform and geography. Designing fighting games for console and PC have been the norm for years - and for good reasons. There’s platform familiarity, fighting game specs struggle on mobile and switch and you have to have fight stick support. 📄 Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/gJ7YxA_2 The fighting game market is owned by 3 markets: US, Europe, and Japan - these are Riot’s “must win” markets. But fighting game communities like Street Fighter in the Dominican Republic or Tekken in Pakistan show that the genre is so much more global. Who knows, maybe South Korea or China will be a relevant market for Riot given how well League has performed there?

It stands alongside other notable disputes in the gaming industry, with the Apple vs. Epic Games case being one of the most prominent and widely debated. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gSsj839E

Rather than growing, I feel like it's an ever-present issue. I feel like it's usually genuinely unhappy and stressed people that use online social interactions like this to spread toxicity, because spreading the negative emotions makes them feel better for whatever reason. And since there are no real consequences for doing this... they don't stop, ever. I worked as a moderator for multiple years, and I've seen my share of cases raging from people just being tilted at their teammates, often followed by funny banter, to people flat out threatening to find somebody irl and slit their throat. (Oftentimes much worse) Anonymity certainly plays a massive factor in this, because you usually have to keep appearances in the real world, no matter how you feel. And you simply don't have to do this on the web. The worst kind of punishment you can get is getting banned or muted in the game, which can often be circumvented by making new accounts, buying additional copies of the game, or using something like Steam Family Share to circumvent any punishment completely at the cost of minor annoyance. It's a very complex issue, and seemingly there's no easy solution either.
I've been a gamer for as long as I can remember. For me, gaming has always been a source of enjoyment, excitement, and fun. So why does the gaming industry have such a bad rap? It's disheartening to constantly hear stories of toxic players being misogynistic, throwing games, cheating, trolling, and harassing others. It's possible that this is a small percentage of the gaming population, just with the loudest voices. As someone who has been in the industry for over 4 years, I believe this is a bigger problem that needs to be addressed. Companies like Riot Games are already taking steps to reduce toxicity and encourage new players, but is it enough? Being anonymous may give players the courage to say things they wouldn't dare say in public, but why ruin someone else's experience? When did this become a pastime for so many? So I'd like to ask the masses, is toxicity in gaming a growing issue we should be concerned about? And if so, what can we or game studios do to encourage a more positive and uplifting player base? Let's discuss.

Riot Games: Masters of Transmedia 🎭 Back in 2009, Riot Games launched League of Legends (yes, 15 years ago...). Today, Riot Games has created an empire from the world of Runeterra, expanding an IP into diverse formats like games, series, comics, merch, and more—all rooted in the same universe. Since transmedia has become so popular recently, let's dive into how you can leverage it for your own game's marketing: 🎮 Other Games: Even though Riot Forge no longer exists, we still see many other games expanding the LoL universe on mobile and consoles: LoR, TFT, Song of Nunu, and more. 📺 Brand Content: Trailers, videos, social content, etc., aren’t just meant to promote the game. Riot uses these as opportunities to expand their lore and tell great stories (e.g., season trailers). 🏟️ Esports and Events: While brand content can expand your lore, esports is where your gameplay shines. This is also one of the best ways to bring the community together. 🎞️ Films & Series: Arcane brought significant attention from new and returning players through storytelling. 📚 Merch, Comics, and More: These are great ways to diversify revenue streams by bringing your IP into the real world. Although Riot Games is quite an extreme example of resources spent on their transmedia strategy, you can use these strategies at scale to transform your game into a sticky and unforgettable experience for players across multiple platforms. That's what we do. Shoot us a message when you're ready to move forward. #GameDev #IndieGames #GameMarketing #Transmedia #Branding #GamingCommunity #Storytelling
