Game Power 7 at KOGIA seminar
Presentation given on MMO opportunities in the Middle East.
Game Power 7 ( www.gamepower7.com) had an active role in a recent seminar for KOGIA (Korean Game Industry Agency) introducing the Middle East market of Online Games.
Mr. Fadi Mujahid, General Manager of Game Power 7, delivered a presentation titled “Gaming in the Middle East: Challenges and Opportunities”. During the speech, he presented the social, economic, and technological facts of the Middle East region, highlighting the business opportunities for publishing MMO games in the region, and the challenges facing this business.
The speaker estimated the current percentage of MMO players to the Internet users in the region as less than %1, way below the world average of %23.
“The main reason behind this fact is that: No game publishers actively operating in the market to localize and culturalize the games and to promote the concept of MMO gaming” said Mujahid. He stated that no MMO games are localized to Arabic (the region native language) or published in the region, which makes Game Power 7 as the first publisher of such games in this territory.
According to the presentation, the estimated number of MMO gamers in the region will jump to 5 million in 3 years of actively publishing and promoting MMO Games.
After the presentation, more than 20 Korean companies expressed their interest in cooperating with Game Power 7 to bring their games to the “untouched” Middle East MMO market.
