Human-Computer Interaction 2019-12-30 v2

Abstract

In the free online game industry, churn prediction is an important research topic. Reducing the churn rate of a game significantly helps with the success of the game. Churn prediction helps a game operator identify possible churning players and keep them engaged in the game via appropriate operational strategies, marketing strategies, and/or incentives. Playtime related features are some of the widely used universal features for most churn prediction models. In this paper, we consider developing new universal features for churn predictions for long-term players based on players' playtime.
