Abstract

Today’s online gaming customers are very demanding, hence there is a need for the game vendors and developers to understand and keep pace with customers’ demands. The purpose of this paper is to survey the current literatures and summarize the reasons why users tend to play a certain online games longer. In this paper, we propose a research model to predict online games continuance play. We believe this framework will help both researchers and practitioners in game research, design and development.
