In order to solve the knowledge sharing benefit and cost game problem and promote knowledge sharing, this paper constructs a multi-factor evolutionary game model considering costs and benefits from three dimensions: knowledge itself, knowledge sharers and virtual communities. The equilibrium state of knowledge sharing under different game assumptions is explored to capture the dynamic behaviors of knowledge sharing, so as to reveal the cooperation trend among gamers. Simulation experiments validate the theory of the knowledge sharing model proposed in this paper, as well as the relationship between knowledge sharing and the parameters of knowledge sharers' sharing willingness, knowledge quality, and synergy coefficient.
