“…There are much ongoing development in multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game industry such as League of Legend, Heroes of The Storms, Vainglory and so on (Furini, 2007;Pinchot, Paullet, & Rota, 2011;Resources & Irs, 2007), and there are many ongoing researches to identify how sophisticated and evolution terminology of this type of game. As the interpretation result of this research (Xiong & Iida, 2015;Xiong, Zuo, & Iida, 2017;Zuo, Xiong, & Iida, 2017a), MOBA game on PC has own characteristics with high competitiveness and macro mechanism. Game company has been trying to improve infrastructure and rules of the game (Lazzaro, 2004;Zichermann & Cunningham, 2011).…”

“…Given the incredible success of League of Legends (LOL) and Defense of the Ancients (DOTA) on PC platform, MOBAs mainly require a critical mass of players in order to have a short match waiting times and gain competitive experience for each player (Xiong et al, 2017). However, there is a number of differences made to the game to make it more accessible for mobile users.…”

This paper explores the attractiveness and sophistication of Realm of Valor (ROV) using game refinement theory and analyzes its business model by gamification. ROV is one of the most attractive and popular MOBA games in mobile platform. It is free-to-play (F2P) game which is the most popular business model for mobile platform. The result shows that ROV has game refinement value in sophisticated zone that implies entertainment and competitiveness experiences. Moreover, the results are used to make a comparison of platform transformation of MOBA genre which causes from quick time battle characteristics. We also present the result of evolution skin revenue essentially increase over the year due to number of mobile users. Finally, ROV is one of the best examples in monetization while introducing suitable characteristics for the mobile platform such that players can feel entertainment and excitement.

“…Between the time when simulation became available as an analytical tool in 1990 and simulations were first used in competitive play in 1996, human players have improved their positional skills by studying simulation results [13]. However, Table 4 shows that Maven has maintained at least a slight superiority over human experts since its debut in 1986 according to Maven's tournament statistics where the total matches and tournament record is 3500 wins and 1500 losses against an average rating of 1975.…”

Games are attractive and engaging due to the complexity they pose to the player. Some games are complex enough which made them attractive to play. However, popular games would lose their attractiveness due to the large advantage of initiative. Highperformance AI like AlphaZero suggests from their actual games played that advantage of the first player would become larger as the performance level increases. This implies that games with a large advantage of the initiative would lose their attractiveness due to the unfairness. This paper explores an innovative way to make a game stay attractive. A link between the advantage of initiative and performance level is investigated while using Scrabble AI. Using two measures: the advantage of initiative and game refinement, possible treatments are considered. The experimental results with Scrabble AI suggest that reduction of search space from 15x15 to 13x13 board size is a possible enhancement.

In this research, the concept of Game Refinement Theory is applied to quantify the entertainment value of the game of TIGERS AND GOATS. This paper explores the game to get some compelling estimates of Game Refinement (GR) value of the game at various stages. The comparison of value is done for the two popular variants of the game. Also, we have compared the value with respect to the difficulty level of the game and the winning scenario. The results indicate that the game becomes more of a serious game with the increasing difficulty. The paper focuses on one main question -Why did we lose one of the game variants while the other one is still well sought-after and if there is any history behind this? After doing some research, we found that the game variant AADU PULI ATTAM which has lost its popularity has much lower game refinement value than the popular variant (BAGH CHAL). With this, we also present the hypothesis on their timeline that BAGH CHAL is an evolved version of AADU PULI ATTAM.
