So far, the world’s largest gaming market has not taken advantage of Steam’s huge library of PC games. However, Steam’s entry into the Chinese market is not as big as you might think. Due to strict Chinese policies, most games will not be available to Chinese players.
In fact, the Steam library available outside of China has around 48,000 titles, while the one in the country has only 41 games. Even these 41 games wouldn’t have reached China without the local publisher Perfect world.
Chinese laws restrict games involving blood, corpses and gambling in order to protect young gamers and fight gambling addiction in the country. As a result, each security must receive the green light from the government before it hits the market.
