CONFIRMED. The 2025 CADPA data shows domestically developed games at ~83% of total domestic market revenue (291.1B / 350.79B yuan). Ball's "84%" is within the +/- 5% threshold. This is one of Ball's most well-supported empirical claims. The dominance of domestic publishers (Tencent + NetEase ~61% alone) is well-documented.
