The game industry is one of the important pillars of Taiwan’s economy. However, in recent years, its development has faced severe challenges. Once upon a time, Taiwanese games dominated the global Chinese market, but now they are gradually losing their former glory. Some people are confused, which step did they take wrong?
A netizen posted on “PTT” that he noticed that mobile games from mainland China have entered the Taiwan market, and the signing fees can easily reach hundreds of millions of dollars. On the other hand, Taiwan’s game talents are obviously not inferior to others, but now only independent games are left with occasional masterpieces. .

And if you look at the big companies selling point cards, one by one can succeed.” “It’s more moist than the other one. I’m happy to miss Shu.” “It’s not that complicated. It’s just that everyone comes out to grab this piece of pie. The United States and Japan are the first to move in. China and South Korea are rich and have people.
