Okay, so there’s this big PC thing going on — Rokky scooped up ChinaPlay. Yeah, it’s the platform that makes Western games pop up in China. But they’re fairly hush-hush about how much cash was thrown around. Anyway, ChinaPlay’s thing is hooking up non-Chinese games with the Chinese crowd by spreading the word and tweaking prices to fit. Apparently, a million folks use it every year. Wild, right?
So, Vadim, who’s kind of the brains behind Rokky, or at least part of the brain, says doing business in China’s a bit like solving a puzzle with no picture. Lots of rules and hoops to jump through. But, by snagging ChinaPlay, they’re kind of cracking open that puzzle. It’s like opening the front door for game makers all over the place — letting them meet China’s 322 million or so PC players. His jam has always been about making games cross borders without a fuss, and this ChinaPlay thing? He’s seeing it as a major win for getting game-makers and players mingling.
Then there’s Denis from ChinaPlay. He’s all about how this move — bagging ChinaPlay — is like grabbing a microphone in the Chinese gaming scene. He’s laser-focused on becoming this cool connector between game creators worldwide and Chinese gamers. Think, hanging out more on local online hangouts, amping up their rewards program so players feel like rockstars, and cranking up the game choices. It’s not just about adding games; it’s about making those gamer-publisher bonds a thing.
By the way, just a heads up, I’ve scribbled stuff for Rokky once or twice. Just putting it out there.
