Conference Day 2 – 9th September 2026

10:00 AM Presentation – Login, Play, Buy: The Hidden Systems Behind Player Trust

Players don’t think about payments, accounts, compliance, or anti-fraud systems - but those “invisible” services determine whether the game feels smooth, trustworthy, and even playable. During this session Maksim Zaikin, the Head of Game Integration at Wargaming will share real examples from running shared services across game titles at Wargaming: what’s worth centralizing, what it breaks if you do it wrong, and the practical habits that keep platform work helping game teams instead of slowing them down. Attendees will take away:

  • A clear rule of thumb for what to centralize vs keep game-specific.
  • The real costs of centralization - coupling, priority conflicts, migration pain - and how to manage them.
  • How these services impact player trust and revenue integrity (login, purchases, security, etc.).
