1. What is Primary and secondary research? and What are the examples?
Primary research is research that you have gone and collected yourself. it can allow your information to be specific and well rounded. a few examples of primary research includes questionnaires, surveys focus groups and interviews. Secondary research is information that has already been collected bu you can cross reference your research with the research that is already out their a few examples include books, blogs, Archives and statistics.

2. Explain how you could use this research to help sort a problem in the gaming
When your developing a game and come across a problem, you can use Primary and Secondary research to analyse the problem. the first thing you could do is find out about other games that had the same problem within development or you can try to find out the problem yourself by using game research you have collected personally.

3. what are Quantitative and Qualitative research?
Quantitative research is when you go and ask people their opinions so you can then change that into a hard figure and a statistical result. you do need to do this in large numbers so you can get the best result possible. Qualitative research is when you ask for peoples opinions but you go into further detail and ask why they have that certain opinion and why they feel that why. a few examples include Ratings, circulation and Sales and for Qualitative Reviews, News and Discussion.

4. Explain how you can use those methods of research to analyse a problem in video games
When coming across a problem in gaming for example marketing you can ask the Public for a general opinion about the game you're creating so you can see what works and what doesn't for players. You could also ask for their opinion on the genre of the game so you can see if players would be emotionally invested in the game.
