Gaming Platform Competition
Camp Mobile's BAND Games has forged a partnership with many game developers, and it is actively seeking to overtake KakaoTalk's gaming platform in market share.
After BAND Games was switched to an open platform on June 9, where any games can be offered space, Naver's subsidiary Camp Mobile announced on July 9 that more than 250 developers have been registered as partner companies.
Among them, interface keys for application programming were issued to 170 gaming companies, including 10 Chinese, Japanese, and Taiwanese firms, so that they can launch their games on BAND Games. On the other hand, 220 companies have released their games through KakaoTalk's gaming platform.
It may be meaningless to simply compare the influence of BAND Games and Kakao Games at this point, but BAND's gaming platform has attracted a large number of game developers faster than expected.
After being changed into an open platform, BAND Games has introduced one game every three days, totaling 13 games so far. 40 games are going to be available before the end of this month.
