World Building
TRANSMEDIA Boni (ed.) Transmedia, Fans, Industries Fans, Transmedia, World Building World Edited by Marta Boni World Building Transmedia, Fans, Industries World Building Transmedia: Participatory Culture and Media Convergence The book series Transmedia: Participatory Culture and Media Convergence provides a platform for cutting-edge research in the field of media studies, with a strong focus on the impact of digitization, globalization, and fan culture. The series is dedicated to publishing the highest-quality monographs (and exceptional edited collections) on the developing social, cultural, and economic practices surrounding media convergence and audience participation. The term ‘media convergence’ relates to the complex ways in which the production, distribution, and consumption of contemporary media are affected by digitization, while ‘participatory culture’ refers to the changing relationship between media producers and their audiences. Interdisciplinary by its very definition, the series will provide a publishing platform for international scholars doing new and critical research in relevant fields. While the main focus will be on contemporary media culture, the series is also open to research that focuses on the historical forebears of digital convergence culture, including histories of fandom, cross- and transmedia franchises, reception studies and audience ethnographies, and critical approaches to the culture industry and commodity culture.

Gaming Is Booming in China As the Coronavirus Means More Time at Home
Gaming is booming in China as the coronavirus means more time at home With the coronavirus still raging on in China and70,548 confirmed cases, and 1,770 deaths it is no wonder that much of China remains in lockdown. As a result, online gaming activity is setting record highs in China as more people spend more time at home. The implication for investors is that Chinese gaming-related companies should be in for a booming quarter when they next report results. While some of this is already priced into gaming stocks, should the coronavirus last longer more gains can be expected. Tencent rallies 10% in the past month as more Chinese stay at home gaming Last month when I wrote: “The Wuhan Coronavirus crisis leads to some investment opportunities” I mentioned that Chinese internet stocks can be possible winners including gaming and social media giant Tencent (OTC: TCEHY). The stock has rallied 10% since then. The longer the coronavirus has a significant impact then I expect the Tencent rally to continue. Game live streaming hours watched up 17% in January VentureBeat just reported that game live streaming was up 17% to nearly 500 million view hours in January 2020. The most popular streaming sites were Amazon’s Twitch (NASDAQ: AMZN), Alphabet Google’s (NASDAQ: GOOGL) (NASDAQ: GOOG) YouTube Gaming, Facebook Gaming (NASDAQ: FB), and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) Mixer. In China, Tencent backed Douyu and Huya will benefit from increased live streaming. Ironically Douyu’s headquarters is located in Wuhan, the center of the coronavirus epidemic. A game called ‘Plague Inc.’ has become highly popular and is like the real-life coronavirus threat Ironically one of the most popular games in China nowadays is titled “Plague Inc’. -
