Yah, China’s dominance is absurd in mobile gaming- people have no idea. I only know because I was in the industry. Again, though, they weirdly shoot themselves in the foot by not participating in the non-Chinese app stores, and blocking most outside games from their own stores. If they did, they’d be 80% of all mobile gaming overnight.
They recently mandated that every single app to be released in China has to go through manual review by the government. That’s an insane thing that basically stopped all import of foreign apps (no doubt that was the point) because a human agent can’t possibly thoroughly review the hundreds of apps a day that are released. Our company gave up trying to release in China when that happened. It was very hard before, but became impossible.
