Multiplayer video games involve multiple players playing using either a single computer system or multiple computer systems connected together. While a first player of the multiplayer game is playing the multiplayer game, the first player's actions are tracked and stored. When the first player quits or stops responding before the multiplayer game has completed, the first player is replaced by a computer-simulated version of the first player that selects its actions based on probabilities calculated from the tracked actions of the first player. The multiplayer game is thus able to continue without interruption or disruption, and the first player's playstyle is preserved.

Methods, systems, and computer readable media for predictive preloading of game data are described. In some implementations, a method can include using a machine learning model of player data to predict which games (or game-related data assets) to begin preloading prior to a user making a game selection. Once the user makes a selection, any preloading not related to the selection can be terminated. Thus, during the time period when the user is viewing available game selections, a given number of selections can begin to be preloaded based on predictions from the machine learning model. The preloading can help reduce latency from game selection by the user to game start time.

The game device includes a reception unit that is configured to receive instruction information created when a user performs an operation on an input device triggered by a sound output while a game progresses and a derivation unit that is configured to start measuring the degree of fatigue on the basis of the instruction information received by the reception unit and derive the degree of fatigue of the user on the basis of an operation performed by the user during the started measurement of the degree of fatigue.

Systems and methods to control benefit-producing virtual territories in an online gaming platform are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may execute instances of a game; manage player accounts associated with the players; receive instructions from sets of players to obtain access to distributions associated with particular virtual territories in the game, wherein access is obtained in exchange for particular amounts of fungible digital articles; determine whether to provide a particular distribution of in-game benefits, produced in and/or by a particular virtual territory, to a particular set of players, based at least in part on whether the particular set of players continues to control the particular virtual territory; and responsive to the determination, provide the particular distribution to the particular set of players.

A processor executes program code that represents a portion of a video game and adds a sequence of text strings that represent game events to a text log during execution of the program code. The processor (or another processor that has access to the text log) performs a natural language processing (NLP) analysis of the text log to determine one or more characteristics of the portion of the video game. In some cases, the NLP analysis includes a sentiment analysis that attempts to determine characteristics of a player's experience while playing the video game, summarization technology that creates a human-readable summary of an aspect of the game or a portion of the video game, a semantic NLP ML algorithm in the semantic similarity modality to answer questions regarding the player's experience during the video game, or grouping players in a multiplayer game based on in-game behavior.

The present invention is publish a method and system for game account valuation, through the establishment of a game account trading platform, provide different game accounts for valuation, acquisition and consignment, seller users can choose a suitable plan according to their personal needs, and through the management of the game account trading platform, increase the credibility and security of transaction information, and also can reduce the impact on the value of game data.

A computer system displays a game image (IM1) during replacement play by a second user and a notification of operation details based on an operation input by the second user on a game screen (W1) displayed on a first terminal of a first user. The notification is, for example, a command input by the second user.

Systems and methods to provide and use proof of in-game participation by unique digital articles are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may execute instances of a game; manage player accounts associated with the players; record usage information pertaining to player-owned unique digital articles on a permanent registry; determine whether in-game player-controllable virtual items participated in in-game events; generate sets of video information depicting the in-game player-controllable virtual items participating in the in-game events; and record references to the sets of video information on the permanent registry such that the video information is accessible for viewing by users of the permanent registry.
