Some of you have heard of the Brazil Game Show. In short it means that our gaming markets are changing in some significant ways. We called the importance of Brazil in numerous earlier articles and we were spot-on. Now we will be giving you our predictions on how this is going to change gaming.
More Studios at the Brazil Game Show
Many studios have sprung up in the country recently. Games themed for general tastes and for those made specifically for in-country gamers are becoming quite popular.
If indie developers don’t take note some larger, less scrupulous developers will.
The Sheer Scale of the Brazil Game Show
More than 250,000 visitors are expected for the game show itself. With this number of people coming those in the industry should take note that “Brasileiros” care quite a bit about gaming.
The Market for the Brazil Game Show
The country’s domestic market for games has reached $1.5 billion and is still growing. If this point does not get your attention then we do not know what will. Massive amounts of money are up for grabs if companies are willing to develop in this area.
The Brazil Game Show “Indie Pavilion”
Organizers are starting to take note of the fact that indie games are valuable as well according to their site. It reminds us of something else as well. With this sophistication and thought comes further development of their industry there.
What Can Developers Learn?
If you have been ignoring Latin America, stop. Sure you may have had some problems with kids from there in whatever MOBA you play. We all have. The country itself has become too significant in gaming to ignore. Many of the developers are adults struggling to make it in development or publishing just like the rest of us. We should welcome them and see what they have to add to our industry.
