On the last working day of 2018, the National Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television Bureau official website hanged the form of the online game approval information for December 2018, which means that the version was officially reopened. On March 29, 2018, the former State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television issued the “Notice on Important Issues for Game Declaration and Approval”, stating that due to institutional reforms, the release of all game editions was completely suspended and the suspension period was not notified. The 9-month window period has brought the game industry into a cold winter. Not only many new games can’t get the version number, but many popular online games have also been offline because they have not obtained the version number. Affected by this, the game revenue of major manufacturers such as Tencent and NetEase has dropped significantly compared with previous years

Comparing the empty window period of the stock market IPO, due to the personnel transfer and system reform of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, on July 5, 2015 – the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange disclosed a notice of suspension of 28 companies, including 10 Shanghai Stock Exchanges. The 18 funds that have already participated in the subscription will be refunded on Monday. It is reported that this is the ninth time in the history of the CSRC to suspend the IPO. November 6, 2015 – Restarted the issuance of new shares, and further reformed and improved the new share issuance system, and changed the prepayments at the time of purchase to determine the number of shares to be paid

The times are improving and the system is improving. History is always strikingly similar, restarting the game version number review mechanism, with reference to the experience of the stock market IPO summary. So why is the game version so important?

In May 2016, the State Administration of Radio and Television issued the “Notice on the Management of Mobile Game Publishing Services”, which stipulated the necessary edition number for the game operation. The game version number is the abbreviation of the game copyright number. Also known as the “version number.” Be sure to get an ICP business license before applying for the game version number. The General Administration of Press and Publication has a pre-approval process for all projects. After the game has obtained the pre-approval, it will get the “version number”. If the game does not get the “game version number”, it is not allowed to operate on the line. Otherwise, it can only be free of charge. Having said that, I believe that everyone understands why the chicken game does not have a built-in recharge system. Some companies have finished testing. Most of the reasons for delaying the beta are not getting the game version. After all, the game maker is not a philanthropist, free? Dream!

Furthermore, the process of applying for the version number is very complicated and cumbersome. The game development company needs to obtain the ICP certificate from the Communications’ Authority and mail the materials to the China Copyright Protection Center for computer software copyright. Then, the game developer needs to find the provincial culture and tourism hall, get the network culture business license, which is the network certificate, obtain the operation license, and can be filed in the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. After that, the company needs to contact the publishing house with the qualification of Internet game publishing, sign the game publishing contract, the publisher will do the preliminary examination, and finally pass the approval to the Central Propaganda Department. After the approval, the version number can be obtained, which is equivalent to the passport to enter the market.In general, the entire process will last for more than three months before the version number is approved, sometimes for up to one year. The game is popular, who eats the first online who eats meat. The popular chicken hand game was won by Netease’s Wilderness Action. Quickly occupy more than half of the market. This made Tencent panic, and Tencent quickly launched the genuine “Jesus Survival – Stimulating Battlefield” and “All Arms Attack” two chickens to fight back. Because the issue number is not determined between the approvals, the game is free to play, or the player’s welfare, which requires the player to judge

Data statistics, since the game version number was approved and restarted in December last year, the first batch of 80, the second batch of 84, and the third batch of 93 game version numbers have been announced, and 257 games have been obtained in three batches. Version Number. The old game maker giant network and Sanqi Mutual Entertainment, Palm Technology, Zhongqingbao, etc. are on the list. It is worth noting that the games of Tencent and NetEase are not listed yet. Data analysis, I am boldly guessing that the restarted game version number review mechanism is approved in accordance with the time sequence of the declaration. It is not the big game manufacturers to take the green channel priority approval. This is similar to the IPO listed, please queue first. The perfection of the reporting system is fair, fair and open, breaking the monopoly of the game industry. The game is shuffled and I believe many game makers are on the rise. Looking at the data interval, restarting the total of 257 games in a month from December to the present, then the total number of game titles in 2019 will be around 3,000. The game is not about more, but about fine. A little more quality games, a little less routine. The game is awkward, I believe that 2019 will be even more exciting! Work hard, come on!
