In recent years, China's gaming market has grown rapidly, attracting a large number of players. However, one player recently shared his observations and views on the domestic gaming environment on social media, which sparked a lot of discussion. He mentioned that console players may only account for less than 10% of domestic gamers.
First, let's look at what is happening in the Chinese gaming market at this stage. In this player's view, most of the current main players of the game are the new generation of gamers, and many of them are tired of mobile games, and have begun to try stand-alone games and explore through platforms such as Steam. However, he also mentioned some practical problems, such as the possibility of finding fake software when searching for Steam in China, and many inconveniences to game consoles, such as unlocking, backup, server selection and other issues. These difficulties have discouraged many players from continuing to immerse themselves in mobile games. I understand that.
The closed and restrictive Chinese gaming market has indeed caused a lot of problems for players. The region-locking of game consoles, the locking of servers, and the restrictions of foreign games have increased the operating costs and learning costs of gamers. This can be a challenge for those who are new to consoles. At the same time, for foreign game lovers, they will also face many difficulties in playing games in China, and they need to use various technical means to play their favorite games smoothly.
Of course, as the Chinese and international game markets become more open and interconnected, I believe that these problems will be gradually resolved. For example, with the continuous expansion and development of the Chinese game market, international game developers will also consider adapting to the needs of the Chinese market and providing more convenient services and a more open game environment. At the same time, with the development of technology and policies, the use and management of game consoles in China will become more convenient.
Looking back at the development of the gaming market, we can see that from the original game consoles to today's Internet games, every change has been accompanied by various problems and challenges. In this process, both society and technology are constantly advancing and changing. Therefore, I believe that the Chinese game market will also usher in a more inclusive and open development in the future. As a gamer, I hope that China's gaming environment can get rid of the marks of "closed" and "difficult" as soon as possible, and truly integrate into the global game ecosystem.
The current problems in the Chinese gaming market are obvious, but I am confident in the future of this market. I hope we can strongly support China's triple-A industry and strive to promote China's game industry towards a more open and prosperous future." Only in this way can our market not be dominated by mobile games.
