Delivering Improved CX for the Gamer Community

From the Zendesk Blog:

In 1972, a simple video game mesmerized players around the world: Pong. Despite its rudimentary black-and-white graphics and limited gameplay, the table tennis game kick-started the video game industry, launching one of its first giants, Atari. Now, as the industry approaches the half-century mark, it’s projected to surpass a global value of $90 billion USD.

But for every World of Warcraft or Assassin’s Creed, hundreds of other titles flounder in the marketplace. With so much at stake in the industry, forward-thinking companies have begun focusing on the player experience after a release: in other words, on customer service.

No matter what platform a game surfaces on — mobile phones, PCs, or consoles such as the Playstation 4 or Xbox One — customers demand quick, friendly customer service that’s both in-game and utterly seamless. They want to reach game publishers to address bugs, player bans, billing issues (for subscription services), questions about in-game transactions, and more without leaving the immersive environment they’ve come to love.

Increasingly, those publishers turn to omnichannel customer-service software to keep their customers returning to their carefully crafted worlds—and those that do are reaping the benefits.
