The version number was suspended for 5 months and 14,000 companies were cancelled
According to the Securities Daily, as of December 30, the approval of game version numbers has been suspended for 5 months, according to the data of Tianyancha App, since July 2021, a total of 14,000 game-related companies have been cancelled, compared with 18,000 game companies in 2020.
This has also led to the beginning of a wave of layoffs in domestic game companies. The news that the publisher of the page game "Greedy Blue Moon" that was on fire because of the "slag slag" began to lay off employees spread throughout the game circle early, and the company's employees revealed that the company began to cancel afternoon tea in September, and in the past two months, layoffs have been made, and the year-end bonus and double salary will not be paid.
Zhang Yi, CEO and chief analyst of Ai Media Consulting, said, "The suspension of the issuance of game version numbers does have an impact on small and medium-sized game companies, but it also forces them to find a way out." In fact, when the release of game version numbers was suspended in 2018, some companies realized the importance of 'going to sea', the pace of domestic games 'going to sea' was accelerating, and some companies' business focus was even overseas. ”
Li Le (pseudonym), the operator of the mobile game company that has launched the "blockbuster", said that it has not been affected by the tightening of the version number, because the pace of their new products is not so fast, and the overseas business is running well. Li Le believes that the supervision is forcing companies to make high-quality games, "We obviously feel that the censorship of game content is now more stringent." ”
At the 2021 Annual Conference of China's Game Industry held recently, Yang Fang, deputy director of the Publishing Bureau of the Central Propaganda Department, pointed out in her speech that next year, the State Press and Publication Administration will implement an independent plan for positive energy in online games, adhere to the red line of the content bottom line, and resolutely put an end to illegal acts such as unauthorized changes in content and online operation without version number. It is worth mentioning that the relevant person in charge of the relevant department mentioned at the annual meeting of China's game industry in December 2018 that it is stepping up the issuance of version numbers, and then in January 2019, the approval of version numbers has been resumed. This year, however, the issue of the game's version number was not mentioned.
