中国超越美国成为世界游戏之都 超6亿玩家！
China has become the world capital of gamers and gaming.中国已经成为了游戏玩家、游戏产业世界之都。
That’s according to a report by specialist firm Atomico, based in
London.
伦敦风投公司Atomico在一份报告中得出了这一结论。
According to the report, the size of the Chinese gamer market now exceeds
that in the USA and Europe.
据该份报告显示，目前中国游戏市场的规模已经超过了美国和欧洲。
What’s more, games and gaming are now worth in excess of $100 billion
annually to the global economy.
此外，中国游戏和游戏产业价值每年超过了1000亿美元。
Although the number of gamers in the USA and Europe continues to grow,
numbers are rising much faster in China.
尽管美国和欧洲游戏玩家的数量持续增长，但是中国游戏玩家数量增长的速度要快得多。
When you consider that Chinese gamers also apparently spend more time and
money on their hobbies, you can see why the Chinese market is now so important
for gaming firms - many of whom are indeed Chinese.
只要你想一想中国玩家很显然也花费更多的时间和金钱的时候，你就明白为什么现在对于游戏厂商来说中国市场如此重要了——事实上许多游戏厂商也是中国企业。
Interestingly, from an ’East meets West’ perspective, the news comes after
we reported earlier in 2017 that a Chinese game developer is investing in a new
studio in Scotland.
有趣的是，从“东西交汇”的观点来看，2017年初我们还报道了一家中国游戏开发商向苏格兰一家工作室投资的新闻，
Skymoons, who are behind several popular games such as Zombie Wars and Seer
Superheroes, have launched the studio in Edinburgh in order to develop a new
online multiplayer game.
Skymoons旗下有包括《僵尸大战》和《赛尔号超级英雄》等多款大热游戏，该公司为了研发一款新的在线多人游戏，在爱丁堡成立了工作室。
Over 20 staff will be based at the site, which has been aided by
cooperation between Skymoons and the Scottish government.
该工作室有20多名员工，受到了Skymoons和苏格兰政府的共同支持。
Scotland’s video games industry has been said to be ’booming’, with the
country being home to some of the most exciting developers and companies in
Europe. It has close to 100 specialist firms, between them employing over 1,000
people.
外界认为苏格兰的电子游戏产业正在“高速发展”，欧洲许多令人兴奋的开发署和企业都坐落在苏格兰。苏格兰拥有近百家专门企业，雇佣超过1000人。
