中國已超越歐美 成爲全球'遊戲之都'

China has become the world capital of gamers and gaming. That's according to a report by specialist firm Atomico, based in London.

現如今，中國已經成爲了遊戲玩家和遊戲產業世界之都。這一結論是從倫敦風投公司Atomico的一份報告中得出的。

According to the report, the size of the Chinese gamer market now exceeds that in the USA and Europe.

據該報告顯示，目前中國遊戲市場的規模已經超過了美國和歐洲。

What's more, games and gaming are now worth in excess of $100 billion annually to the global economy.

此外，中國遊戲和遊戲產業的價值每年超過了1000億美元。

Although the number of gamers in the USA and Europe continues to grow, numbers are rising much faster in China.

儘管美國和歐洲的遊戲玩家的數量仍在持續增長，但是中國遊戲玩家數量增長的速度要快得多。

When you consider that Chinese gamers also apparently spend more time and money on their hobbies, you can see why the Chinese market is now so important for gaming firms - many of whom are indeed Chinese.

只要你想一想中國玩家也會花費更多的時間和金錢的時候，你就明白爲什麼現在對於遊戲廠商來說中國市場如此重要了--事實上許多遊戲廠商也是中國企業。

Interestingly, from an 'East meets West' perspective, the news comes after we reported earlier in 2017 that a Chinese game developer is investing in a new studio in Scotland.

有趣的是，從“東西交匯”的觀點來看，2017年初我們還報道了一家中國遊戲開發商向蘇格蘭一家工作室投資的新聞，

Skymoons, who are behind several popular games such as Zombie Wars and Seer Superheroes, have launched the studio in Edinburgh in order to develop a new online multiplayer game.

旗下擁有包括《殭屍大戰》和《賽爾號超級英雄》等多款大熱遊戲的Skymoons公司，爲了研發一款新的在線多人遊戲，在愛丁堡成立了工作室。
