Observer Ding Daoshi pointed out that the Chinese game industry is going through a period of adjustment. In this period, the first is the policy of tightening and gradual improvement; the second is to reduce personnel in the game industry; The third is that the external financial environment becomes difficult.
A combination of factors has reduced users’ willingness to spend money on games. “Following this trend, some older games may contribute more revenue to the market, and new games still need to be tested by the market. In the short term, it is difficult for the market to accelerate to the same level as before through issuances,” said expert Ding Daoshi.
