On the evening of April 11, eight months later, after many version number rumors, the game circle finally ushered in the release of the determined version number. Some insiders said, “the game industry is celebrating the new year.”
The website of the State Press and Publication Administration announced today the approval information of domestic online games in April 2022. A total of 45 games have obtained the version number.
According to the publicity, enterprises including thunder network, heart network, Yoozoo Interactive Co.Ltd(002174) , dreamworld, Lilith, 4399, Xishanju and Baidu under G-Bits Network Technology(Xiamen)Co.Ltd(603444) have obtained the version number. There is no version number information of Netease and Tencent in this publicity.
The number of edition numbers issued this time is 45, while the last edition number was 87 in July last year. This time, it has been reduced by nearly half, which is in line with industry expectations, and edition numbers will be more and more scarce.
Since August 2021, the suspension period of version number has lasted for eight months. Previously, an insider told China first finance that the approval is not reduced suddenly, but gradually reduced every month until it is suspended. The quality of games in the industry is indeed uneven.
Before the release of the official website, Huang Yimeng, CEO of Xinxin company, said on twitter, “the Chinese version number has finally opened, and tears are running with joy.”
Some people in the industry told first finance that everyone has been waiting for 8 months. The release of edition numbers is a very good signal for the industry. The game peers are very happy today. “Whether we send edition numbers or not, at least the whole game industry begins to send edition numbers, which means that the industry returns again and it will develop and promote in a more favorable direction.”
The PC game “box fission” developed by Tianjin teammate technology has also obtained the version number this time. It has been invested by heart network and Tencent. At present, it has successfully developed the domestic PS4 game “carp”.
Li Zhe, CEO of teammate technology, said on the social platform that “only three people came to work in the worst time” because of epidemic prevention, but did not reduce any salary. “It’s really too difficult. The money is spent every day, but the work progress is slow.” Fortunately, we all understand and take care of each other very much, so that we can wait for this day smoothly.
