explains the Chinese mobile games market
summary
NetEase is a $24 billion Nasdaq company and explains China as a fragmented Android ecosystem where QR-code sideloading and publisher media distribution often bypass app stores. Top 10 publishers take about half the market and MMOs grow to roughly a third of revenue while consoles sit at ~0.2%. Android channels commonly demand 50–60% store cuts unless a partner brings scale. Successful products are free‑to‑play, include PvP or cooperative mechanics, favor one‑hand or autopilot play and lean toward cute or lightly realistic art.
