Fostering good player-to-player experiences.
Video Games Europe member companies seek to identify the types of player behaviors that create a thriving gaming community and to find ways to encourage those behaviors among players. The companies work to integrate these learnings from the earliest stages of game development with a goal of fostering good player-to-player experiences.
Some examples have included incentive systems that reward players for positive behavior—like helping each other—and that encourage players to promote others’ good behavior—like sportsmanship. The video game industry also works collaboratively to empower game companies with the knowledge and tools to foster supportive communities.
