Rokky Acquires ChinaPlay Store | PC Games Insider

Sure thing, I’ll give it a raw and human touch:

Alright, so there’s this whole thing going on with this PC thingy, Rokky. They’ve just snagged a Chinese platform, ChinaPlay, but like, no one’s spilling the beans on how much cash was splashed. ChinaPlay is all about getting non-Chinese games to the Chinese folks — kinda neat, right? They do this by helping with marketing and sorting out local prices. Apparently, like a million people use their stuff every year. Who knew?

Now, let’s talk about China, yeah? The gaming scene there is like a whole different beast. Crazy rules, some real head-scratching stuff that makes life hard for global game geeks to get in there directly. Rokky’s big dog, Vadim Andreev or something, chimes in with this line. Something about cracking open the Chinese market like a walnut for developers. They wanna make the whole world a little smaller, or at least the gaming world. 322 million PC gamers just chillin’ there, waiting to play more games. That’s nuts!

And then, Denis Glukhov, who seems to steer the ChinaPlay ship, jumps in with his two cents. So, yeah, it’s like a chess move, I guess — getting a stronger foothold on Chinese soil. They’re itching to be a go-between, a bit like a friendly middleman between foreign game makers and the gamers in China. Sounds like they’re jazzed about beefing up their presence on those local forums and, I dunno, kinda like being a better buddy to players with new loyalty goodies. Plus, they want to blow open the variety of games on offer. It’s all about making the gaming world feel like one big, cozy living room or something.

Oh, should toss this in: Alex Calvin, some writer who freelances and happens to know Rokky folks — well, they’ve worked together before, so there’s that.

Anyway, what was I saying? Something about games, I think.
