Customer Care Management and MMO customers How to retain subscribers

By Mike ArnoldGodwin’s law tells us that the probability of somebody making a reference to Adolf Hitler reaches one the longer the discussion lasts. As soon as this reference is made, the thread dies. This is also called Reductio Ad Hitlerum. The law of MMOs says: the longer a game lasts the higher the probability that you lose subscribes to other games, if you do not provide either innovation – very scarce, most games are clones of clones of clones – or excellent customer care with an edge.…See More
