google app store in china

Hello. I created an android-game, published it free on google play store and waited 3 days. the funny thing: i haven't made marketing for my game and haven't posted about it anywhere. But for some reason, analytics showed 1.200 users from china, which haven't received the app over the play store (chinese users are not in the play-store-statistics). how is that possible? Every day, more and more chinese are installing this app to their android-phones. On the rest of the world, no real excitement is measurable. Can someone help me to understand??

Thanks in advance
Mike

Hi Mike,

Chinese Android market has already grown bigger than the US one and the users are hungry for the apps unlike americans. Why don`t you add more effort to get more profit from Chinese if they already express interest? Don`t get surprised to that reaction since it is more consequent than strange

I think they hacked your app and put it on their own market.
My case is same like you.
I uploaded my app only on google play.
One day, crittercism notified me an error with X.X version format.
But I use X.X.X version format.
I thought my app was hacked by them.

I also think so...Just wonder how the hackers stole your game though..

Only the rooted devices in China can install apps from Google Play store!
