Playfish president says the term "social game" will disappear within 3 years

According to foreign media reports, a few days ago, Playfish President Kristian Segerstrale issued a bold speech, he proposed the term "social games" in the future will no longer exist. "The term social game is about 2-3 years old," he says. After that, we will collectively refer to it as a game in which social games will eventually become part of the gaming industry. "It seems a bit too bold for the social gaming industry, which is still in its infancy," he said. But for social game practitioners, there is always a solution. Kristian Segerstrale points out that innovation is a key.　　He believes that game-makers should focus on innovation and the needs of players, and that the platform is not the only factor that determines the success or failure of a game. The main meaning of Segerstrale is that if the social gaming field is to continue to develop in the future, the current popular game "cloning" wind must stop. While this is widely shared, most people are sceptical about whether the idea of social gaming will disappear within 3 years. After all, most of the Facebook games are now based on flash technology, and traditional games are mainly based on the development of the technology.　　Moreover, traditional games are now roaming various platforms, while social games such as Farmville are mainly concentrated in computer platforms. Playfish This can not help but think of the recent "Happy Farm" one of the founder of Gao Shao Fei, he just taught netizens how to "steal food", their "food" was stolen.　　Recently, he developed a big six-year social game "little war" just hot but also was "cloned." In this respect, Gao Shao Fei said "if China has only a few companies to do the original, and the rest of the companies are copying their works, that is, the internal friction, will only make Chinese social games as a whole smaller."　　Recently, the decision no longer compromise Gao Shao Fei said it will use legal means to fight piracy, let the industry regain a healthy development environment. Nowadays, social games are just not enough fun. Game developers must now work to develop users for their games, and attracting users has become as important as game design. Industry insiders say that the success of future social games will depend on the experience and impact of the game itself, blindly "cloning" others will not be able to achieve long-term success.
