China dă undă verde publicând 45 de jocuri internaționale

Pentru prima dată din august 2021, autoritatea de reglementare a jocurilor video din China a aprobat licențele de publicare a 45 de jocuri internaționale, inclusiv Pokemon Unite, Don't Starve și Valorant.

Pe lângă jocurile dezvoltate de studiouri din afara Chinei, 84 de jocuri autohtone au primit, de asemenea, undă verde în China, care Reuters numește „cea mai mare piață de jocuri de noroc din lume”.

Megacorpurile chineze precum Tencent și NetEase se numără printre cei care primesc aprobare, primul asigurând licențe pentru șase dintre jocurile sale în decembrie.

It’s less than the number of games approved in 2021 – just 76 imported games got the go ahead last year – but it’s been seen as “an important signal towards policy normalisation for the industry”, according to Reuters.

It follows news earlier this month that China believes it has solved the issue of young people growing addicted to video games.

It’s a significant step forward, not least because earlier this year, China stepped up its regulations around streaming games after some fans were able to view games China deems as “unauthorised” – such as Elden Ring – via Chinese streaming platforms, even though many were not available to buy in the country. Even seemingly innocent titles like Animal Crossing: New Horizons have been in the crosshairs after it was used by Hong Kong protesters and others to create politically sensitive user-generated content.

Chinese government agency The National Radio and Television Administration justified the move by insisting that “for a period of time, issues such as chaotic online livestreaming and teenage addiction to games have raised widespread concerns in society and effective measures need to be taken urgently”.
