Verifikation

Plausibel

PLAUSIBLE. The direction is well-supported: non-China gaming markets experienced post-pandemic stagnation while China grew. Naavik data confirms Chinese publishers outpacing Western ones 3.4x to 1.6x. The specific $1B/0.9% figure relies on Epyllion's proprietary segmentation (what counts as "realized market" vs total market). The claim is directionally confirmed but the precision is Ball's alone.
