Abstract
Embodiments provide rule-based application configuration using a network service. A configuration parameter associated with an application includes a rule that specifies configuration data based on one or more criteria, such as by selecting a configuration value from a plurality of available configuration values. A request for configuration data corresponding to the configuration parameter is received from a client. The request includes one or more criteria describing a user associated with the client. Customized configuration data is determined based on the rule and the criteria of the request, and the customized configuration data is provided to the client. The client executes the application (e.g., a game) based on the customized configuration data.
