Videogame Outsourcing in China a Hit |
Ó
It seems that China's videogame industry is more revved up than ever, thanks to videogame outsourcing. According to a report done by Niko Partners, a market reserach and consulting firm for the Chinese videogame industry, outsourcing games to China gives costs savings of around 40-60% (compared to games solely done in the US or Europe). As such, more and more developers and publishers seek China for artwork-related projects to save money.And saving money is something developers and publishers would want, as manufacturing a game means high production costs. Thus, outsourcing is quite a feasible option for game developers. According to Lisa Cosmas Hanson of Niko partners, "Chinese developers continue to improve their skills across all game platforms, the country has become the primary center for outsourced game development globally."
Moreover, the said report includes tips on selecting a studio, the perks of outsourcing to China as compared to other country markets, costs and risks associated with outsourcing game development in China, measures to secure intellectual property within studios, and a directory of 25 premiere studios handling outsourced game development.

so errr, what? what's the differance, anyway it's not like they'll sell the games cheaper, they'll make a little more profit that's all...
Sounds like the creation of Chinese videogame sweatshops to me.
Great more jobs gone.
First we outsource all manufacturing, now we have no manufacturing infrastructure.
Then we ship out all high tech chip manufacturing, less jobs.
Now we are outsourcing our entertainment industry, even less jobs.
Will this country not be happy until we are all bloody useless lawyers.
you guys innovate,we do the job,
and you make money,we suffer.
The U.S. is already a nation of nothing more than "bloody useless" financiers. Nothing of tangible value is manufactured here anymore, and last time I checked, over 26% of the U.S. GDP comes from financial transactions - moving money around and collecting fees for it. The U.S. should be re-named "Ferengar" and the national motto should be changed from "One from many" (which is a joke anymore thanks to Bush and his bastard gang of cut-throats) to "What profit is there in it?" since that seems to be the only thing Amerika gives a DAMN about anymore! After five years of this country being run by a bunch of corrupt, war-mongering, greedy, blood-sucking bankers and korporate CEO's I'd WELCOME BACK those lawyers with open arms!
Yeah that's basically all I have to say about the subject
Now even my games are going to have the "Made in China" label?
Now MY job will be outsourced...
The only thing the US doesn't outsource are the jobs that require you to wear a patch with your name on it. It's so sad.
lots of storys about china here lately this and the next GO CHINA:)
