Systems and methods for managing video game titles and user play metrics for video game titles executing on a game cloud system

A method for managing video game title and user play metrics for video game titles executed on a game cloud system, comprising:

• detecting obtainment of the video game title by a user from an online retailer for use on the game cloud system, wherein the online retailer is an entity that enables procurement of the video game title but not execution of the video game title;
• enabling execution of game play of the video game title on the game cloud system after detecting obtainment of the video game title from the online retailer;
• receiving user interactive input from the user during game play of the video game title, the user interactive input used to update game metrics of the video game title and the user play metrics of the user at the game cloud system;
• filtering select ones of the game metrics and the user play metrics from the user interactive input received during the game play of the video game title, wherein filtering includes selectively excluding confidential data that identifies the user by use of a token to identify one or more attributes of the user;
• and
• transmitting, by the game cloud system via a network interface, the select ones of the user play metrics of the user and game metrics of the video game title to a server of the online retailer with instructions to update corresponding user play metrics of the user and game metrics of the video game title stored in a database at the online retailer that is accessible to the server, the updated user play metrics and the game metrics used for classification of the user and the video game title at the online retailer, wherein the select ones of the user play metrics and game metrics transmitted by the game cloud system to the online retailer includes use data by the user for the obtained video game title that is a result of execution of the video game title on the game cloud system, the updates of the use data provided by the game cloud system dynamically augmenting procurement related data of the video game title rendered on a webpage that has the video game title at the online retailer,
• wherein execution of game play includes executing game code of the video game title on the game cloud system, the execution of game play produces a stream of video frames that are compressed at the game cloud system and transmitted to a client device for rendering, and wherein the method is executed by one or more processors of the game cloud system.
