The ultimate Social Media Platform for Gamers

In a world where gaming has evolved from a solitary hobby to a thriving global community, the importance of social interactions within the gaming world cannot be overstated.

In a 2023 Deloitte survey, 40% of Generation Z and Millennials reported that they maintain more social connections in video games than in the real world. One could say that the PlayStation Network and the Nintendo Network have become the new social networks for these generations.

The gaming industry is not just growing; it is exploding at an unprecedented rate. To give you an idea of the scale: there are approximately 3.09 billion active video gamers worldwide. That's almost half of the world's population!

Global Active Gamers Over Time

Whether you're an indie developer, a small studio, an industry giant, or just a gaming enthusiast, such exploding numbers present a golden opportunity for everyone to connect, engage, and market.

But how do you reach this large and diverse audience? The answer seems simple at first glance: social media. However, navigating the social media landscape can be daunting for game developers, studios, and gamers.

When you google "the best social media for gamers," you quickly come across graphics like this one from SocialPilot:

Of all these platforms, the ones that really have something to do with gaming are just Discord and Twitch. While these have captivated the gaming community in different ways, they have not succeeded in uniting the gaming ecosystem under one common virtual roof.

Game developers, studios, and gamers need a social network that not only connects them with like-minded individuals who play the same games but also integrates rewards and incentives to create a more exciting and fulfilling gaming experience. Such a network could fill the gap left by existing platforms like Discord and Twitch by providing a central hub for the entire gaming community.

Gone are the days when game companies only created single-player experiences. With the advent of multiplayer and online games, a new social dimension has emerged.

Over 20 years ago, gamers connected in internet forums and formed gaming communities. From forming clans in battle royales to collaborating in MMORPG raids, gamers are naturally drawn to shared experiences. These interactions have not only paved the way for some of the greatest games of all time but also for dedicated gaming communities and subcultures, from which friendships have emerged across continents.

Moreover, the average age of a video gamer is 35 years, debunking the stereotype that gaming is only popular among younger demographics. Did you know that a significant portion of gamers are over 55 years old, accounting for about 15% of all video gamers? Gaming captures the interest of people from so many demographics around the world, whether young or old.

Fragmentation and Inconsistency

One of the main problems is the fragmentation of the gaming community across countless platforms. Gamers constantly have to switch between different apps and websites to communicate with friends, share content, and discover new games. This leads to an inconsistent presence and makes it difficult to build an engaged fan base. For developers, it is also a challenge to be present on all platforms and to follow a consistent marketing strategy. They have to adapt content to the specifics of each platform, run separate advertising campaigns, and keep track of countless accounts and interactions.

This leads to increased complexity and can result in important target groups not being effectively reached.

Lack of Gaming Features

Another problem is that most social media platforms are not tailored to the unique needs of gamers. They do not offer integrated features for multiplayer matchmaking, real-time game statistics, or reward systems that increase player engagement and motivation. Instead, gamers and developers have to settle for generic features that are not optimal for the gaming world. This leads to a less immersive and satisfying experience for all involved.

Players often wish for special features like leaderboards, tournaments, or integrated chat and voice functions that enrich their gaming experiences and promote interaction within the community.

Time and Complexity

Juggling multiple platforms and creating platform-specific content can be extremely time-consuming and complex. Developers constantly have to track trends, analyze data, and respond to comments and requests - and do so separately for each platform. This effort ties up valuable resources that could be better used elsewhere, such as in game development or customer service. Many smaller studios and indie developers cannot afford a dedicated social media team and have to settle for a minimal presence.

Many smaller studios and indie developers cannot afford a dedicated social media team and have to settle for a minimal presence. For gamers, this often means less direct interaction with developers and a lower chance to influence the development of their favorite games. The lack of direct communication can weaken the sense of community and belonging, which is an important part of the gaming experience for many players.

New Monetization Opportunities for Game Developers and Content Creators
