Video games consoles have been banned in mainland China for 13 years now, but that hasn’t stopped the population from turning to new sources of adrenaline-pumping, head-spinning fun. The mobile and online gaming scene in China is bigger than ever before, with the industry earning HK$105bn (around $13bn) in 2013 alone. The figures are expected to grow to HK$125 in 2014, and many experts are suggesting that the sky is the limit for online games developers in China.
Nikolai Veselov, of MyRealGames, online gaming site offering a myriad of games that prove attractive to audiences in the Far East, says, “China is a huge player in the online gaming market; with no Xbox or Playstation to compete with, the online games platforms are the key player in the industry. By 2015, there will be at least 266 million Chinese gamers logging on to play games online, either by themselves or against friends; this is a figure that cannot be ignored, and many developers are now targeting this region for future releases and titles.”
The average facts about gamers in China are fairly stereotypical of the gaming world; 73% of online players are men, with the largest age demographic being the bracket from age 19 – 25. Gamers largely play at home, but interestingly, the second highest-rated place for Chinese gamers to get access to their favorite games is an internet café; a phenomenon which doesn’t dominate nearly as much of the demographic in the US.
Chinese gamers love Action RPG games, according to an infographic compiled by Go-Globe. 28.1% of those surveyed stated Action RPGs were their preferred gaming style, with first-person action games, first-person shooters, platform games and turn-based RPGs making up the top five. 3D graphic games also come out on top, but they don’t win the race outright; 60% of players prefer full 3D graphics, but 23% enjoy 2.5D and 17% still love the retro feel of 2D graphics.
