It's now extended its lead over former market leader Shanda and has become the top video game company in China by revenue, with over $600 million in the first quarter of 2010.Wang cited Nexon's Dungeon Fighter Online, which is operated by Tencent and has 2.2 million simultaneous users in China, as well as CrossFire, another Korean license operated by Tencent in China (the shooter which now has 2.3 million simultaneous users in the territory) as well as a host of internally developed casual and other titles. Overall, Cheap RS Gold cross-marketing from all of Tencent's properties - whether it be IM, email, or portals -- seems to have catapulted the firm to the top of the pile in the Chinese market, and Wang concluded by noting that while they have some U.S. licensees and an American office, they are looking to expand further in the West.Interestingly, in the Q&A, Wang singled out Blizzard's World Of Warcraft, commenting that although the title may have the highest quality of almost any on the China market, it's "not in the top 5 revenue-producing games", purely because it's not microtransaction-based. (Even in China, you can only play it hourly.) He indicated that, when you allow players to spend a great deal of money via microtransactions, the most core players will end up majorly increasing your revenue.

Brains are horrible for predictability, said London-based Playfish studio director Jeferson Valadares in his packed session on intuition versus metrics in social games on the first day of GDC Europe in Cologne. Most games in the traditional space are based much more on intuition and experience than they are on user data, but in the social game space, metrics have an importance that makes many developers feel uncomfortably tied to the whims of their users.Citing psychological research, Buy RS Gold Valadares points out that if you throw a coin 9 times and it turns up heads each time, people will generally presume that the chance it will be heads is 10 percent -- when in fact it's at least 50 percent. Metrics can help take care of these sorts of decisions that shouldn't be based on intuition, though there is some element of marketing to it. Restaurant menus, for instance, generally have an anchor price, he points out. It's the most expensive thing on the menu, and it may be in a prominent place. But by comparison, it makes the second and third most expensive items seem much more reasonable.
