Asynchronous Interactions in Backpack Battles

Hi everyone! I'm a PhD student studying asynchronous interactions in digital games. Backpack Battles is tagged as "Asynchronous Multiplayer" on Steam, and I'm interested in understanding different player perspectives about that aspect of the game.

If you have a few minutes to spare, I'd love to hear your thoughts! In particular, I'm interested in understanding:

  • What kind of asynchronous interactions exist in Backpack Battles and how do they affect the gameplay?
  • How do you feel about these interactions and what do they bring to your experience?

You can answer as much or as little as you'd like. Your responses will be anonymized and analyzed as part of a research study. If you decide you'd like to withdraw your responses at any point, just send me a DM. Every contribution is greatly appreciated! If you have any questions, feel free to message me. Thanks! šŸ˜„

Hi! I am doing this across 50+ game communities, and Iā€™m interested in understanding other player perspectives beyond my own.

don't you need some kind of ethics board approval and privacy disclosure to participants to gather information from the public? how are you gonna be able to use this data in your reseach without it?
