January 16, 2008 - The SpivO upgrade has focused on many business related channels such as the web search engine, article channels, news, and news video searches. However, in an effort to attract a younger audience, SpivO announced the launch of SpivO Games.
SpivO Games (http://www.spivo.com/games) was one of the first interactive channels placed on the upgrade’s drawing board in 2007. The addition of an online arcade is what they believe will lower their average age demographic.
SpivO’s Jack Thomas explains, “One of SpivO’s missions is to build an online network which has a channel for every interest. We spend so much time on business and education channels because that’s what attracts the advertisers and a large portion of our user base. However, it is also important to pay attention to the younger demographics. Everyone needs to kick back and relax for a few minutes throughout their day.”
An important focus of SpivO’s planners is to bring as much content to the network as possible. SpivO Games is certainly not any different. The online gaming channel of SpivO boasts a game collection of over three thousand, five hundred (3,500) games in categories such as action, arcade, fighting, puzzles, racing, classics, sports, and others. When the channel was being tested by SpivO’s beta group, they were surprised to see which online games were the most popular.
Vice President, Jason Bland, of SpivO’s managing company, Adviatech Corp., said, “We have some really intense games available on SpivO Games such as racing, boxing, sports, yet the most popular category in testing was the retro category which has all of the classic arcade games and the mid nineties computer games. When we saw the statistics, we knew that SpivO Games was going to be a success because the audience that can relate to those games is the exact demographic we are hoping to attract.”
Like all of SpivO’s channels, their online gaming channel is an evolving one. As the user base grows, SpivO will open up a game suggestion panel. They also have plans to launch games that are exclusive to SpivO Games.
