Social gaming companies have settled in China, looking for talented software professionals

Beijing Time October 21 news, according to foreign media reports, Facebook application developers Kabam and Zynga said they will hire more and more Chinese game designers to develop games. Andy Lee, managing director of Kabam Asia, said in an interview yesterday that the company set up a game-development studio in Beijing in May and, like the studio in the United States, was developing two outstanding games.　　Zynga says it wants to benefit from China's rising pace of innovation. Andy Li Hu said, "China is very important to us, we will actively expand China's business, the establishment of a number of development studios, this is a very important part of our internationalization strategy." My job is to promote the growth of China's business.　　"According to the number of users, China is the world's largest internet market, with a large number of excellent software design talent." After becoming a manufacturing powerhouse, China is moving into the field of software development. "China is moving from the lower end of the value chain to the high-end, from manufacturing to design," Duncan Clark Duncan Clark, chairman of BDA Consulting Ltd., said. The value of commodities lies in design, and China hopes to gain an advantage in this field. Andy Li Hu said the Beijing Development Studio was the first development agency Kabam overseas, with 35 employees. Kabam has 100 employees in the United States. In the next few years, Kabam will have more employees in China than in the United States.　　Kabam raised about 9.5 million dollars to Betfair Group Ltd. and Canaan. Andy Tian, head of Zynga's Beijing studio, said Chinese software developers must work harder than their American counterparts to attract price-sensitive users, Tian, and grow in China. Zynga announced the acquisition of Hippede, a social gaming company, in May this year, which is also the first step in the company's entry into the Chinese market. XPD Hippede had about 40 employees.　　Zynga says Hippede employees will join the company, responsible for technology and product development.　　Tian said at a conference October 18 that China is innovating more quickly than the West in its business model and that China is a paradise for innovation. James Ding, managing director of Jinsha Venture Ventures, predicts that although many Chinese software development companies have only a few employees, they account for about 10% of the revenue from Apple App Store apps. "The Chinese market has the potential to overtake the US market and be the home of new applications," he said. "(Digging the shell net)
