Rokky Acquires ChinaPlay Store | PC Games Insider

Sure thing! Here we go:

So, yeah, this thing happened where Rokky—you know that PC game platform—just bought ChinaPlay. No idea what the deal cost, but there it is. ChinaPlay’s whole gig is taking stuff that’s not from China and making it a big thing over there, like with ads and special pricing that fits the local vibe. They’ve got about a million folks checking them out every year, which sounds kinda impressive, right?

Anyway, Vadim Andreev, the main guy at Rokky, was talking about how China’s game market is like, super tricky. Picture trying to dance through a field full of landmines—only it’s about games and rules that make your brain hurt. He goes on about how snapping up ChinaPlay means they can fling open the doors for game developers who’ve been dying to get a crack at those 322 million Chinese gamers. It all sounds like a super plan where everyone in the world can send their games to China easily and without all the headaches. Or so they hope.

Jumping in next is Denis Glukhov from ChinaPlay, who’s like, “Yeah, we’re doing this to really make our mark in China.” Apparently, they want to be this epic bridge where game makers and players just meet up and have a blast. They’re throwing around ideas about improving loyalty clubs or whatever, just trying to give folks more bang for their buck. The whole spiel is about making choices better for players and helping publishers not get totally lost in the craziness that is China’s gaming scene.

Oh, and a quick side note here: There’s this guy Alex Calvin, who writes stuff and has worked with Rokky. Just putting that out there.
