The Chinese gaming market is now the world's largest online gaming market and saw $22 billion in revenue in 2015 (1). Earlier this month, the Chinese Ministry of Culture announced that the revenue of China's online gaming sector is still growing by around 30 percent annually in the past eight years. There are about 370 million online game players in China, around half of the online population of 670 million (2).

 

PCGE is focused on the development of business in the media and gaming industry across the Asia-Pacific region. The business aims to continue growth through further acquisition and exploitation of licenses in China.

 

CEO Bryant has spent more than 30 years in the media industry working for broadcasters including SKY as Commercial Director, Showtime Arabia Ltd, Middle East Broadcasting Centre ("MBC") and managing sponsorship and digital media companies.
