APEJ' s online gaming market enjoyed a robust growth of 52% in 2008. Higher Internet and broadband penetration rates continued to expand the pool of gamers in the region.“Free-to-play models have become so popular across the region that most service providers have skewed their game portfolios to this type of game at the expense of subscription-based titles. Although gamers now are more inclined to spend on virtual items, the industry still needs to explore new business models such as cost subsidization or online advertising in order to grow revenue,” says Audrey Heng, associate market analyst, Emerging Technology Advisory Services, IDC/Asia/Pacific.
