Maybe you should be talking to other groups. :-)
And certainly my stats of app usage vs revenue in China have proven this conclusively to me. Nearly nobody buys it there, and yet China shows the most app usage!
All it takes is one server with one pirated copy of your app for it to become popular. There may even be a app store for pirated apps out there making the pirating process even easier. This, combined with the viral nature of your app could account for these large numbers in China but it isn't damning proof that each Chinese user is prone to stealing. It's just so darn easy to do it. Just like how downloading torrents has gotten so easy that everybody is doing it.
- ftwinnovations 14y agoOh no, there are pirated versions in the US and everywhere else but my stats speak for themselves as far as I'm concerned. And then how does one explain the fact that the clone apps are almost exclusively made by Chinese? I don't know what else to say. It's a cultural thing. I know this from data and I know this from more personal experience with Chinese people both in and out of China than a lot of people in my situation. This isn't China bashing, it's just the facts.
