General Administration of Press and Publication must stop the surly interference in domestic online game enterprises.
The firm funds a wide range of categories in the tech sector, including social (Pinterest), AI (x.ai and HyperScience), healthcare (Recombine, Gravie), IoT (Helium, Kinsa), music startups (ROLI), gaming (Riot Games), enterprise (InVision), ecommerce (Shopify), edtech (Schoology), adtech (Tapad), video (Tubular), and more.
And that's not to mention Chinese iOS and Android AR app store revenues (both non-games and games), enterprise AR and location-based AR entertainment at scale.
E-commerce sales (goods & services, not IAP), hardware sales, ad spend, app store (non-games and games), enterprise and location-based entertainment hold significant promise for AR long-term.

During its big customer event in Europe, VMware announced another acquisition to step up its game in helping enterprises build and run containerised, Kubernetes-based architectures: it has acquired Heptio, a startup out of Seattle that was co-founded by Joe Beda and Craig McLuckie, who were two of the three people who co-created Kubernetes back at Google in 2014 (it has since been open sourced).
The result was a game of fine enterprise and tactical wit.
