Black Myth: Wukong is already one of the fastest-selling games of all time, moving almost as many units in one week as Elden Ring and Cyberpunk did in their first months
I recently tried "My Time at Portia" which I recall had similar issues around being developed by a Chinese company. Even though it has a lot of really good reviews, the game is janky and okay at best. All the comments for Black Myth are calling out politics, but I want to know is it actually any good.
They don’t really respect IP laws, I’m surprised that companies are so thirsty for it.
Even if China becomes a big consumer of western media, I would imagine their goal would be to make their own media, like a state approved and sponsored media.
So I agree, long term, China is a bad bet for western companies
I don't think the lore part matters that would just be good game development, after all you will never be able to make a game for everyome. But I can see how the heavy censorship is tipping the scale in their favor.
