On January 18th, Tencent Games hosted its first China Games Billboardaward ceremony at the Beijing Performing Arts Center with more than 500 in attendance. Hou Xiaonan, Tencent’s open platform and content platform general manager, spoke during the opening ceremony stating that 2017 brought a diverse content feast for users, and that Tencent is working on bringing content creation and the game industry together to bring sparks and new ideas.
In the recent year, the gaming industry in China has come into a new era of content with an emphasis on quality. There’s also been a surge in game products, gaming tournaments, media productions, and pan-entertainment collaborations. There were a total of 46 awards, with special categories for independent games in order to encourage and promote development.
