Digital Gaming Industry in Global-Local Crossings: Comparative Study of UK, China and Brazil
Digital Gaming Industry in Global-Local Crossings: Comparative Study of UK, China and Brazil Abstract Clustering is a common phenomenon in digital gaming industry where businesses can benefit from local concentration of talents, spill-over events, resources recycling activities, formal or informal networks formed (Pilon and Tremblay 2013; Ruggill et al. 2016). In addition, digital gaming industry also possess a born-global nature (Gomez and Gonzalez-Perez 2015). Reflecting on the global-local structure, a conceptual framework on digital gaming industry ecosystem is proposed in this paper. A comparative analysis is performed against the digital gaming industry in UK, China and Brazil. As the initial stage of the project, the analysis focuses on the similarities and differences of the digital gaming industry from perspectives such as policy, culture, funding, talents, market, infrastructure and other supports. Keywords: Entrepreneurial Ecosystem, Digital Gaming, Business Growth, UK, Brazil, China 1. Introduction When video game Grand Theft Auto V came out in September 2013, it quickly broke six Guinness world records including the highest revenue generated within 24 hours ($815.7 million) and the fastest entertainment property to reach $1 billion in sales (within three days of releasing) which were previously held by blockbuster movies like The Avengers and Avatar (Lynch 2013). This achievement is a manifestation of the growth in the digital gaming industry: since mid-1980s, the industry has grown annually by between 10% and 15% (Zackariasson and Wilson 2010; Marchand and Hennig-Thurau 2013; Newzoo 2018). In comparison, the estimated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) between 2018 and 2023 for global entertainment and media industry, which the digital gaming industry is part of, is at 4.3% (PwC 2019).

Guitar Hero Live + Gitara

Jednocześnie jest to pierwsza część, która powróciła na rynek po kilku latach nieobecności marki. Tytuł pojawił się wraz z nową wersją gitary, dysponującej sześcioma przyciskami, umieszczonymi w dwóch rzędach. Zabieg ten pozwala na lepsze imitowanie gry na prawdziwym instrumencie, a dodatkowo umożliwia dostosowanie zabawy do umiejętności różnych graczy – od początkujących, którzy korzystają tylko z trzech klawiszy, po wyjadaczy wykonujących skomplikowane kombinacje na wszystkich sześciu przyciskach. Za produkcję Guitar Hero Live odpowiada studio FreeStyleGames, znane z serii DJ Hero. Rozgrywka sama w sobie nie różni się diametralnie od wcześniejszych odsłon Guitar Hero. W związku z tym, wykorzystując plastikową gitarę, wciskamy wyznaczone przyciski w odpowiednich momentach, a dokładnie pisząc w chwili, gdy w jedno z pól wyświetlanych na ekranie wpadnie lecąca z góry nutka. W odróżnieniu od starych części, tym razem akcja obserwowana jest z oczu gitarzysty, a wirtualni muzycy i publiczność zostali zastąpieni prawdziwymi aktorami. Dzięki temu mamy większe wrażenie uczestniczenia w koncercie, co dodatkowo potęguje zachowanie fanów, zmieniające się wraz z naszą grą.
