China’s gaming industry, with 670 million players, shapes daily life and learning. Dr. Felania Liu highlights the need for game literacy—the ability to understand game mechanics, economic incentives, and avoid manipulation. She distinguishes artisan games, which offer cultural depth and educational use, from consumption games, designed to maximize spending and engagement. Initiatives like Class-i-Game integrate artisan games into classrooms, while co-playing with parents helps children understand mechanics. Game literacy encourages using games consciously and constructively.
