A film based on another Liu Cixin book from Xiamu's blog

Now, using a significant participant in the national market at its rear, CCP is prepared to tap into what could become EVE ISK a huge market for its 16 year old game. The exact same goes with China, in which CCP initially started an EVE server in 2006.

"A huge portion of our plan going forward had to do with Asia overall," Petursson said. "The reason why we're pushing on it today is that, historically, science fiction has not been a big topic in Korea and China. But ever since China set its eyes on distance, building a huge space programme. And then there was a pretty profound moment together with the publication The Three Body Problem -- an wonderful science fiction book written by a Chinese writer [Liu Cixin] -- once you read this book it is like, yes, that's related to our times at this time. That's turned sci-fi increasingly more popular in China."

A film based on another Liu Cixin book, The Wandering Earth, was released in China at the beginning of February this year, and it earned more than $650 million in the box-office within fourteen days. For almost any game developer working with science fiction themes -- comparatively typical in matches made in Europe and North America -- there has never been a better time to find a Chinese audience. "Everything concerning sci-fi, space, it is all spiking in interest in China, and I think that'll continue in the future," Petursson said. "And that is why we're stepping it up on all fronts in China, Korea, and I think at some point Japan."

China is currently,"the biggest aspect of the gaming business," Petursson stated, but accessing that market could become the most significant part EVE's future. When asked when he could envision China as Eve Echoes's single most important market for Buy EVE Echoes ISK, his answer was unequivocal. "Absolutely. I think it's two decades away. When we started there in 2006, there was very [games business ]. Now it is the largest part of Eve Echoess industry -- Chinese gamers, playing Chinese games.
