One way to do this is by incorporating social features (e.g., multiplayer functionality, virtual collaboration, ridesharing), which can generate network effects and result in a product becoming a superstar. However, social features can be a double-edged sword: When the market for freemium products is large, social features can significantly boost a product\u2019s appeal resulting in more adoption, more usage, and more in-app purchases; but when the market is constrained, network effects might fall short and users may feel they are missing out on key aspects of the product. We test this dynamic on a sample of 9,700 games on Steam. Findings contribute to our understanding of network effects, freemium strategies, and superstar products in platform markets.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\" data-tid=\"messageBodyContent\"><a class=\"btn-transparent\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ieseg.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ABSTRACT-Joost-Rietveld.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>More<\/strong> Info<\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"btn-transparent\" href=\"https:\/\/ieseg.zoom.us\/meeting\/register\/tZcrf-ioqzopGt0fu6DsBTT2H7OwKDvvRUIG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Join<\/strong> the webinar<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speakers: Joost RIETVELD Universit\u00e9 Catholique de Lille A joint work with Joe PLOOG Date and Location &#8211; Thursday December 2nd 2021 from 14:30 to 16:00\u00a0on Zoom &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; ABSTRACT Freemium products [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","events-category":[66,166],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>[Research Seminar] Management &amp; Society: &quot;On top of the game?
