We're pleased to announce a new weekly business-centric Gamasutra column on the Chinese game market, named 'The China Angle', and written by Shang Koo of Shanghai-based boutique media/business intelligence company Pacific Epoch.
As we showed in our
recent reports from China, the country is quickly moving toward gaming powerhouse status, particularly with regard to PC online gaming, and we're delighted to be partnering with Pacific Epoch to bring highlights from the burgeoning market to Gamasuta readers.
The
first 'The China Angle' column, named 'From Kingsoft With Love', is available now, and sees detailed information on a new investment for major Chinese MMO firm Kingsoft, earnings reports for leading companies Netease and Shanda, and Acclaim's partnership with 9You to bring two music-based MMOs to the North American market.
'The China Angle', for which
an archive page is also available, will be the first in a series of regional columns that will additionally cover the European and Japanese game markets, aiming to bring Gamasutra readers unprecedented insight in regional markets of interest to businesspeople and developers alike.
