Gaming · 6-15 people · 65,000 tickets/mo · very fast AHT · conservative
Gaming support team: 7 agents for 65,000 tickets/month
Gaming support spikes on patch days and is dominated by account and billing issues rather than gameplay questions.
Verdict: Not worth buying at your volume
- At 65,000 tickets/month, the platform costs more than the headcount it lets you avoid. That is the honest answer for your volume.
- Headcount spans 22-37 agents across your industry's handle-time range. Measure your real AHT for two weeks before you budget - the band is usually wider than anyone expects.
