Comment on Chinese video games are on the rise, but I wish they got more respect

I have huge respect for the Genshin Impact makers. The story is simply amazing and makes you want to pay attention to every little detail during your quests (especially the main ones). The Gacha aspect can be ignored as you definitely do not need to pay to have a really good team.

I got some respect. They made a casino for horny teenage boys, slapped a coat of paint on it, and its somehow legal.

Pulling off a game of pretty vast scope, supporting several very different host platforms, on a multi-year development timeline, and having it thrive in a hypercompetitive market is still an impressive technical achievement.
If all they wanted was to deliver “casino for horny teenage boys”, they could have done far less and still achieved that goal.

You’re responding to someone frequenting !conservative and who obviously is projecting as he, like the vast majority of conservatives, always sweep under the rug issues like Christian family members or priests molesting children and at the same time claim to be against the “grooming” of children.

Genshin actually has a surprising amount of horny teenage girls who play it, too. One article says its 55% male to 45% which is honestly very impressive.
