  • This paper studies current market of smart phone game and suggests the new earning model. In paper, it is not just for spending free time but seeking profits to play game. Making profits is operated in mutual beneficial way. First, a partnership company cooperates with a game company. And then the partnership company issues coupons about its product which game players can get in game and can use in real. by this way, the partnership company can expect the advertising effect. Besides, game company can spare some burden about earning by cooperation. Eventually It is respected that users spend their money and purchase products with coupon they get in game on offline shop. In this paper, the earning model is integrated in real platform and explain the process.

  • This study seeks to derive game design elements that turn out game streaming-friendly through the analysis of Internet game streaming. To this end, this study surveyed previous studies on the motivation of watching internet game broadcasting and simplified the motivations to 'Expertise' and 'Amusement', the goal that game streaming should aim for, and divided streamer's streaming types into 'Reviewer', 'Master', 'Entertainer' and 'Acrobat' by those two options. Based on the categories, this study analyzed game streaming videos of various genres and confirmed that both the number of videos and the number of views by the streaming type were the highest in the 'Acrobat' group. In addition, the analysis shows that and revealed different figures by the type although they belong to the similar genre. By comparing and analyzing the systems and content elements of the two games, this study identified 's advantages in three points-Fortune, Setup Time, Control View- and finally suggested some guidelines for streaming-friendly game planning.

  • This paper explores some of the ways in which social games - games played with others through social network sites such as Facebook - are situated within the everyday. It argues that social games are more than just games; they perform a range of interactive and integrative functions across and within people's lives and therefore need to be investigated as such. Social games en-able spaces for and practices of creative expression, and identity management. They also form a mechanism through which relations can be enacted and maintained across and outside of the game environment. This argument requires the researcher to consider the panoply of ways in which people integrate social games within their lives and everyday practices. Part of a larger project, this paper explores some findings from an exploratory survey of Australian game play-ers about their management and integration of game play within the everyday with a particular focus on gender.

  • We construct a signaling game model between the arbitrator and claimants, in which the arbitrator's marketing amount is adopted as the signaling device. Assuming that the parties to the dispute select an arbitrator, and if there is a difference in the arbitrator's fee depending on the arbitrator's reputation, the arbitrator will pay to further enhance his reputation. We would like to analyze the cost differences between arbitrators who already have a high reputation and arbitrators who strive to further enhance their reputation using the signal model. From the Analysis of our study, We derive perfect Bayesian equilibrium of the signaling game and refine the equilibrium into a unique equilibrium by invoking the Intuitive Criterion of Cho and Kreps (1987). Further, we characterize the refined equilibrium.

  • Game theory is mathematical analysis developed to study involved in making decisions. In 1928, Von Neumann proved that every two-person, zero-sum game with finitely many pure strategies for each player is deterministic. As well, in the early 50's, Nash presented another concept as the basis for a generalization of Von Neumann's theorem. Another central achievement of game theory is the introduction of evolutionary game theory, by which agents can play optimal strategies in the absence of rationality. Not the rationality but through the process of Darwinian selection, a population of agents can evolve to an Evolutionary Stable Strategy (ESS) introduced by Maynard Smith. Keeping pace with these game theoretical studies, the first computer simulation of co-evolution was tried out by Hillis in 1991. Moreover, Kauffman proposed NK model to analyze co-evolutionary dynamics between different species. He showed how co-evolutionary phenomenon reaches static states and that these states are Nash equilibrium or ESS introduced in game theory. Since the studies about co-evolutionary phenomenon were started, however many other researchers have developed co-evolutionary algorithms, in this paper we propose Game theory based Co-Evolutionary Algorithm (GCEA) and confirm that this algorithm can be a solution of evolutionary problems by searching the ESS.To evaluate newly designed GCEA approach, we solve several test Multi-objective Optimization Problems (MOPs). From the results of these evaluations, we confirm that evolutionary game can be embodied by co-evolutionary algorithm and analyze optimization performance of GCEA by comparing experimental results using GCEA with the results using other evolutionary optimization algorithms.

  • Promotion and marketing, which are essential to lower the investment risk and maximize commercial profit in the video game market. Game developers and publishers set up public relations strategies to encourage potential consumers' needs. Considering characteristics of video game, the trailer, which is the animated image advertisement material, could occupy a key position in its promotion and marketing plan. Cinematic spectacles and attractive narratives are essential ingredients for game trailers, which are usually produced in 3D animation. Dead Island is an open world first person shooters (FPS) game released in 2011. When launched, it grabbed a great attention with a trailer, awarded the Golden Lion Prize for the best internet film at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. The game was a commercial success and several spin-offs were producted. In 2014, its publisher, Deep Silver showed the official trailer of Dead Island 2 at Electronic Entertainment Expo, the world's largest game show. Dead Island 2 was scheduled to be released in 2016, but has been now delayed until 2018. This study compares and analyzes two trailers of Dead Island 1 and Dead Island 2. We examine the narrative structure of the trailer for the sequel promotion of a successful game. The differences between the two could be useful for building a promotion strategy of other game series.

  • This article examines cultural content distribution system, particularly of game industry based on the development of digital technology. In this period of convergence and fusion, some phenomenon leads the cultural content distribution system change like value transfer from platform to content. In relation to it, especially in the game industry, three types of distribution is categorized by the industrial structure (offline, online, mobile game) through the case studies and it is expected to be evolve into a base for development of distribution integration model in the future. In conclusion, the article suggest the policy subject for the promotion of cultural content that hold so much competitiveness for long-lasting development by the improvement of distribution structure, blowing off the conflict between companies and publishers, and global business, etc.
