The first day of GTI Taipei 2011: Mainly circled around the whole industry in Official Forum.

As well as several industrial professionals said: "If non-gambling policy can be completely released and puzzle games including music games, sporting games, and kid & parental games, can be widely accepted by the public, the digital content and amusement industries will have a bright future."

Hope Taiwan's government can pay more attentions on this solution.
