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.
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.
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
