Company Summary
We all know that people influence each other. If your family or friends do something, your chances of doing it go up--whether it’s playing a game, eating tofu, or smoking. This kind of influence can not only be predicted, it can be measured. And if that extra playing, or spending, or eating leads to dollars, that’s a value you can capture and impact. We call this “Social Value” and it is responsible for between 20% and 50% of all game spending.
