5 likes1,722 views
The document discusses tapping into Indonesia's local market for games. It notes that Indonesia has a large population of over 230 million people and is the 4th largest mobile market in the world. To succeed in Indonesia, companies must localize their games by translating into Bahasa Indonesia, adjusting price points and contents to local preferences, and gaining a deep understanding of the country's diverse socioeconomic landscape. Localization examples from Square Enix and other companies demonstrate how adapting games to the local context can open up opportunities in Indonesia's promising but still developing games market.
