Choose the right perspective
Match the person's game type and platform to yours, since live operations for a free-to-play mobile title differ from live operations for a large PC or console game. Ask each person whether they owned the events calendar, the game economy or the team running both, so their advice fits your gap.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you build a live events calendar, and how far ahead do you plan it?
- 02How do you test changes to offers or the game economy without hurting player trust?
- 03Which live operations metrics do you review each week, and what makes you change course?
