Abstract: A system and method for facilitating multigame currencies in multiple online games and security therewith is disclosed. The multigame currencies may be “spent” and/or “earned” by the players in the individual ones of the multiple online games. A request to use the multigame currencies in a given player account in a given online game may be authenticated through a third party identity that has been associated with the given player for the given online game. In situations where such an association does not exist, a third party identity associated with the given player for any other online game may be used to authenticate the request. In situations where no third party identity is associated with the given player for any one of the online games, an association of a third party identity and the given player for the given online game may be facilitated for subsequent authentication of requests.

Abstract: One aspect of the disclosure relates to providing an online game for facilitating assumption of a player identity. The online game comprises a player account associated with the player. By facilitating assumption of a first player identity associated with a first player account, game support personnel and/or an administrator may be substituted for a player in the online game. The assumption of the first player identity may be accomplished through transmission and/or implementation of a private key stored on a client computing platform associated with the first player account, in order to facilitate a different client computing platform (e.g., associated with support personnel) to be authenticated to the first player account. This may allow the support personnel and/or an administrator to directly experience the player problems in the online game.

Abstract: Tutorial assets may be dynamically integrated into a mobile application at different locations in game play in a staged manner such that individual tutorial assets can be integrated into the mobile application without requiring a wholesale update of the mobile application. The staged updating may be effected without requiring users to access an updated version of the application from an “app store” or other similar online marketplace for mobile applications. This may be accomplished by implementing the mobile application as an “app” including compiled code that implements game assets and tutorial assets to provide a view of the game to the user. The game assets and tutorial assets may be non-compiled information objects, such as images, scripts, and/or other non-compiled information.
