Industry Pain Points
Interrupted or Lagging Experience
Lagging is the ultimate nightmare for gamers. In the realm of modern video games, where interactivity and immersion are paramount, any slowdown can swiftly shatter the player's experience, yanking them out of the captivating moment and replacing it with an overwhelming sense of frustration and disappointment.
Slow Download Due to Game Proliforation
The size of game downloads is increasing exponentially. Making gamers wait hours to download an update or a patch is a poor user experience. At the same time, MOBA, MMO, FPS, and other game operations are gradually globalized, and global resources are needed to support payment, updates, and social networking.
High Audio/Video Service Requests Lead to Traffic Burst
High concurrent requests for audio and video services in games create immense server pressure. New game launches or updates often result in traffic bursts, overwhelming the server. Addressing these challenges and effectively managing the increased demand for resources can be complex and costly.
Players and Communication Diversity in Interactive Games
Online games enable global player interactions, but resource allocation poses challenges for developers to ensure a consistent experience. Game socialization is prevalent across various game types, with evolving interactive scenes. As socialization matures, player interaction shifts from text to audio and video formats.
