This Week in China: Hearthstone is even bigger in Beijing
By Jim Squires
Everybody and their mother loves Hearthstone. Heck, I'm playing my custom mage deck as I type this. But if you think you and your friends are hooked, in China, the game is even bigger.Of course, video game addiction is no joke. This week in China a study surfaced about video game addiction in the country. The most interesting aspect in my opinion? That the collective term in CHina for such gamers seems to be "brain damaged", or so say our friends at Laohu.com.This Week in China: Want to know how much Chinese game developers make?

By Jim Squires
Back in October I had a chance to visit King's studio in Stockholm. I was mainly there to check out an upcoming game and absorb the culture, but as is often the case when talking with mobile-minded developers, the conversation eventually moved to Asia: the great white whale of gaming markets. How do you break into it? And how do you get to be #1?This week King answered that question, at least as far as China is concerned - and based on my chats with the team, the move they've made isn't the least bit surprising (and really, it's the one any developer looking for success in the Asian market should consider). But what was it? Read on to find out!As always, thanks to our pals at Laohu.com for providing Gamezebo readers with a roundup of the biggest gaming news to hit China each week.This Week in China: Whale watching

By Jim Squires

By Jim Squires
