As Senior User Researcher and Data Scientist at Massive Entertainment in Sweden he enjoys tremendously investigating occult behavioral patterns and is happiest when he can triangulate data-driven insights with surveys and lab observations to provide reports for productions teams. At the same time, he is involved with the Live Ops team to improve data culture and devise novel player segmentation approaches.

Social Contagion: the Impact of Social Players on the Сommunity of Tom Clancy's The Division | "In a wide range of social networks, people’s behavior is influenced by social contagion: we do what our network does. We investigated the network generated by players interacting with each other in the game Tom Clancy's The Division. First we identified particularly influential individuals, then evaluated their playing motivations and in-game behavior and finally assessed whether they have an outsize impact on their communities, particularly on playtime and on the share of in-game group play. Using a blend of methods from Social Network Analysis, Inferential Statistics and Machine Learning we were able to prove that the tenets of social contagion hold true also in game communities." |

Videogame worlds as playspaces built with technologies of control and quantification, how their means-ends rationality pervades how they are made, understood, and valued as social objects.

In this context, we are holding a panel discussion with three women working in games, sharing their experience and views. |
