>game developers

You mean software corporations (mostly).

And the answer is Yes and no retard, it's literally a market that has been untapped besides pirated software for decades. However china is also fucked as a country, and might decide to start annexing businesses forcefully for operating over there.

I'm surprised they pander to a market of bootleggers that can be banned from the internet for having text about tianemen square on their screen

so much for the chinese being offended about panda's being in videogames.

No I mean Annex the corporations that make your games so all their dev teams belong to china to make chinese software that steals all of your shit and ensuring there is no other option.

I thought Western gaming wasn't really big in China and that the Chinese mainly created knockoffs of Western games.

I know that movies however are made nearly 50/50 for domestic and Chinese audiences, big part of the reason why Hollywood churns out yearly Marvel capeshit.

Don’t forget the clone of The already Chinese owned game League of Legends, 100 Heroes. That game with a bunch of Shonen Jump/Dynasty Warriors characters. Oh, and Shrek.

>67.39% Simplified Chinese

Just imagine how much shovelware that is.

That's the amount of users, not software.

>Western devs focusing their trash on the Chink market to convince them to throw millions of dollars at American developers

I see no problem with this. Same goes for American movie studios doing the same shit.

The problem is Tencent threatening to buy out American game devs outright. They already have a stake in Unreal. We have to stop this shit before it's too late.

They should be right in bed in the Chinkland market, there's no copyright enforcement, if you pay the government as long as you don't offend "Chinese Socialist Values", you can milk these retards with as much pay-to-win shit than what we got.

That's wrong, there is copyright enforcement, but only for Chinese companies. Because the government is so corrupt it's a pain in the ass for foreign companies to enforce this shit. The Chinese government is willing to ban Winnie the Pooh at the drop of a hat too so as a game dev you really need to be walking on eggshells to not offend them

I'm glad Xi is going full dictator. It's going to be comfy watching China collapse

It's still a fucking pain, and they can use their copyright laws to fuck foreign companies, there's dozens of lawsuits by Apple Store imitations by Chinks against Apple.

That's what they said about Putin, but we'll see.

Putin became leader of the Russian Federation when Russia was still in shambles after the USSR collapsed. Xi has more to lose. Especially given Chinas broken economic policy. This shit isn't just coming from dictator = bad you know? China is desperately trying to prevent Gorbachev 2.0 because Xi realizes the only way to keep China stable is to keep labor costs cheap to foreign countries. He does this by fixing the value of Chinese money which he only gets away with because China doesn't export its currency. China is in debt and it has nowhere to go with one of the lowest GDP per capitas on the planet
