What type of Social Gamer are you? (Infographic)

Douglas Stewart

 

 
NakedPlay put their heads together with fellow comrades from Playnomics in an effort to determine not only how people play social games, but perhaps more importantly: Why.
 
Using a voodoo mix of behavioural science analysis and in-game data, the two managed to build a behavioural matrix that tracks gamer’s agendas and their desires.
 
Read on to discover about the 8 player archetypes, their motivations and then ask yourself:
 
If you are a game developer, which archetype do you think enjoys your games the most?
 
If you are gamer, what archetype are you?
 
Let us know in the comments!
