Abstract
China now boasts one of the biggest gaming marketplaces in the world because to the tremendous development of the gaming industry in recent years. But along with this increase, several problems have surfaced that are impeding the industry's normal progress. This essay provides a detailed analysis of the four main concerns plaguing the Chinese gaming industry: overzealous regulatory interference, homogenized content, a dearth of social responsibility, and difficulties with dishonest gamers and the ELO matching system. The article suggests many solutions to tackle these issues, such as refining regulatory contexts, encouraging creativity in-game material, bolstering social responsibility, and preventing cheating behavior while improving the ELO system. This study aims to provide feasible development paths for China's gaming industry, promoting sustainable growth and improving international competitiveness by maintaining fair gameplay, encouraging the creation of original content, reinforcing corporate social responsibility, and striking a balance between policy and market needs. This study provides a theoretical framework and useful recommendations for creating a safe and orderly gaming market environment, making it an invaluable resource for governments, trade groups, and gaming corporations.
