  Wow, that’s incredible!

  Banning foreign games and protecting your domestic game market so your people will desperately buy anything you give them works, what a shock!

    one of thr most popular games in China is PUBG, made by a Korean company.

    Stop spreading nonsense.

      Please.

      Have you lived in China for any amount of time?

      It’s an open-air prison administered by the CCP.

      The Chinese people deserve so much better.

  Fulifilling your dreams is all about the power of persistence folks! That, and having a friend willing to invest almost $70M in your dream.

    Let us not forget the revolutionary idea to-- now pay attention cause this is BIG-- to prioritize player experience! Can’t believe nobody has thought of that before.

      The player experience of running into invisible walls every five meters?

    Wukong’s 70M$ is fairly small compared to the other AAA games.

      Just like Chinese wages are pretty small compared to Western wages. Nonexistent in many cases.

      I wonder how much of that is marketing. That eats up most of a AAA game budget and I don’t think it was heavily advertised outside of China.

  Aren’t these the “we don’t need female players” devs?

    apparently they don’t.

      Unsurprisingly and unfortunately, there are plenty of sexist, dumb chud Gamers™ who don’t care about sexist developers.
