Title Do Player Backgrounds and Out-of-Game Choices Affect In-Game Outcomes?
Summary The "Flow is Good Business for You" (FLIGBY) leadership simulation game has generated a large database of user decisions and user behavior from thousands of users. In this project, the relationships between user backgrounds, media library interactions and gameplay decisions were examined. Analysis between in-game and out-of-game variables showed statistically significant relationships. There was no correlation between user age, gender or amount of prior management experience and winning the game. There was a weak relationship between user's native language and winning the game. The strongest correlations were between the number of hours spent playing the game, the number of items viewed in the media library and the user's chances of winning the game.
