Ten Tycoons of Browser Game Industry! Do You Know?
As is known to all, the browser game industry took its rise in Germany. But
what’s interesting is that many game tycoons are located in U.S. (e.g. EA,
Disney, Blizzard), Japan (e.g. Koei, TECMO, CAPCOM) and South Korea (e.g.
Ncsoft, NEXON, NEOWIZ). You may be curious about the reason for such phenomenon,
right? Several years ago, most game producers didn’t pay much attention to
browser games. They thought that browser games didn’t have enough potential to
attract players and was less likely to be altered. But game producers from
Germany were much more interested in this blank game market. They felt that
browser games cost less with shorter development time. And one of the most
important things is that such game can be played on browsers directly, which is
different from MMOs. They believed that the browser game market would be
flourishing.
Anyway, all facts prove that they are right! As the browser
game market grew rapidly in 2008, browser games began to arouse many game
producers’ attention, such as EA, Disney and Ubisoft. Several days ago, we
posted an article to introduce the game tycoons developing browser games. Click
here for more details, so as to better understand the game industry! Today,
we’ll show you a list featuring some big browser game producers and their games.
You’ll find that most of these producers are from Germany and are familiar to
you. You may also know Jagex that doesn’t come from Germany but Britain very
well. Right, Runescape is just one of its famous projects. OK, Hop, skip, or
jump over to check out these producers:
