Video Game Nationalism

Interesting article in the NY Times - Chinese Agencies Struggle Over Video Game

Take Aways:

  • Online Video Games are at least $2.9 Billion a in China and rose 50% last year.
  • 7 of the top 10 Games in China are done by Chinese companies (other are 1 American and 2 S. Korean).
  • Interesting quote - The press and publication administration has taken a hard line against outside involvement in the industry, stating flatly last month that foreign investment in Chinese online gaming operations, whether by joint ventures, cooperatives or other means, is forbidden.
It is a bit off topic from Learning Chinese Software :-)
