Southeast Asia Cloud Gaming Industry Prime Challenge

Rise in Piracy and Risk of Privacy – Southeast Asia has been encountering cybercrimes due to the increased e-commerce and digitalization, lately. As per the World Economic Forum, a rise of approximately 82% in cybercrimes from 2021 to 2024 was observed, which is projected to grow in the years. The cloud gaming industry is one of the largest entertainment industries in this region, and due to this, it is more susceptible to cybercrimes.

The distribution and access of gaming software of premium games and library services from unauthorized sources result in economic loss to service providers. Several gaming companies have faced attacks from cybercriminals, including Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, CD Projekt, and others. The threat is not only faced by the companies but also by the gamers. The gamers provide their personal information, such as name, mobile number, bank details, etc., while purchasing the membership subscription and in-app purchases. Eventually, due to concerns about leaks of personal data and concerns about data privacy, the companies are facing challenges in securing the users' data.
