Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided for interconnecting plugins of a content overlay engine that is executed with a video game. In an example system, a data manager that includes a plugin manager and an event reporting orchestrator is executed concurrently with the video game. The plugin manager identifies a set of plugins that includes at least a consumer plugin and a producer plugin coupled to the data manager. The plugin manager also identifies an event type that is to be reported to the consumer plugin. The event reporting orchestrator receives a notification of a first event from the producer plugin during execution of the video game, and determines if the first event is of the event type to be reported to the consumer plugin. If the first event is of the event type, information associated with the first event is reported to the consumer plugin.
