Abstract The software release game developed in Ref. 1 is reconsidered in the framework of a two-person nonzero-sum game of timing. More precisely, noisy-type software release strategies are derived in closed form under two different criteria as well as an alternative silent-type software release strategy. Our method overcomes the fatal problem in Ref. 1 and has an advantage on computational tractability. Also, the method can be extended directly to obtain noisy-type strategies.
