Vietnam Gaming Outlook 2026: Building Sustainable Growth
The "Vietnam Gaming Outlook 2026" document asserts that the Vietnamese mobile gaming industry is at a critical juncture, needing to transition from its current status as a global leader in mobile game downloads to a significant player in revenue generation.
- Vietnam’s mobile gaming sector is shifting from an ad-driven model to hybrid-casual titles prioritizing in-app purchases (IAP) and subscriptions, following a 65% surge in local IAP growth in 2025.
- While Vietnam led global Google Play downloads with 6.1 billion installs in 2024, the market generated only $430 million, highlighting the profitability ceiling of pure advertising models.
- Localized pricing strategies, including purchasing power parity tiers and one-tap tokenized payments, can increase conversion rates by over 20% and reduce checkout abandonment by up to 30%.

Digital Games and the Category of Auteur: A Re-Evaluation and Perspectives
This extended abstract, presented at DiGRA 2023 by Filip Jankowski of Jagiellonian University, re-examines the application of auteur theory to digital games.
- The paper argues that the auteur concept, borrowed from film studies, carries problematic associations, including conservative origins, legitimization of exploitative labor conditions, and canonization of a narrow demographic of designers such as Peter Molyneux, Sid Meier, and Will Wright regardless of their actual production roles.
- Rather than abandoning auteur theory for games, the author proposes a contextual redefinition built on three principles: an auteur may be an individual or a small persistently collaborating group, developers with varied roles can qualify if their output is coherent, and an authorial signature such as placing one's likeness in a work can signal attachment to co-created material.
- Tale of Tales, run by Auriea Harvey and Michaël Samyn, is cited as an example of a small, persistently collaborating group that can be considered an auteur under the redefined framework.
