Abstract
According to some aspects of the present disclosure, a computing system for coordinating massively multiplayer games is provided. The computing system may include a data aggregation service to collect, aggregate and distribute game play data that is used by game code executed on each player's computing device to influence game flow of a shared game play experience for many thousands of remotely located players in real-time. Accordingly, game data from any player may impact and influence the game play experience of all other players. Further, each player's computing device may be event driven such that game data may be received from the game data aggregation service at a synchronized time to synchronize the shared game play experience for all players.
