Analytical company Newzoo, which is engaged in the research of the video game market in various countries, has published the results of its research conducted in Russia. So, what conclusions have foreign experts made after carefully studying the situation in our country?
In our country, apparently, more than 46 million gamers live today. In this case, gamers are people who regularly play video games of any genre and on any platforms. It is difficult to call a gamer that person who is not interested in this issue at all and touches the games once or twice a year on holidays.
Russia, not surprisingly, ranks first in the world in the number of PC-players among the population. 98 percent of the total number of gamers in our country somehow play games on their personal computer. So it happened in our country that since the late 80s of the last century, people began to get involved in assembling home computers and programming for them. It all started with the ZX Spectrum, then more advanced models appeared on Intel's X86 processors and somehow it all started spinning, causing the PC to become a popular Russian platform for games, work, communication, and in general for everything.
Newzoo experts also noted the important fact of the strengthening of Russian positions in the mobile markets of the world. Russian users rank 7th in the world in the number of purchased games for the iPad, 11th in the purchase of games for the iPhone and 10th in the number of purchases of games on Google Play. According to these indicators, we even pay some European countries, for example - Germany. Trifle, but nice.
Approximately 56 percent of Russian gamers spend their money on video games. 44 percent of Russians prefer to download hacked games from torrent trackers or install paid toys for free on their jailbroken devices.
The most popular direction of gaming entertainment in our country are casual and social projects. These are all kinds of farms, of which an incredible amount has been bred on social networks like VKontakte and Odnoklassniki. More than 40 million people spend time every day in these games. The second place is occupied by PC games, which are preferred by 34 million players. Third place is an online multiplayer MMO game, which a little more than 27 million people are addicted to.
6 out of 15 Russian MMO players are family people who have children. Not quite a pleasant moment is that in some cases, the crazed parental hobby of online toys harms their children. Some corny forget about their children, who sit hungry and useless, while mom and dad knock out rare loot in their favorite MMORPG. The situation over time can repeat the Chinese. In China, it is not uncommon for parents to become so addicted to the online game that it leads to the death of their babies from starvation. So, in everything you need to know the measure and do not forget about the children in any case.
Statistics on which screens Russian gamers prefer to play on, again, demonstrate the superiority of the PC over all other platforms. The second place in popularity is occupied by the screen of a personal mobile phone, and the third and fourth places are occupied by tablets and game consoles. Approximately 11 percent of Russian gamers regularly play on all four screen views.
