Given that, makes me wonder how publisher will react.

Not surprising, Journey to the West is really popular, and even western societies like Ancient Chinese mythos stories. Wukong and Nezha are probably the 2 most popular, if I had to guess. On top of this not surprising a Chinese publisher making a game about a Chinese mythos is doing well in China, when almost no one is competing in that regard so the market is hype for representation and seeing “their” story made into a playable game.
You don’t even need to go that deep, just have a quick look at literally any Chinese game on Steam and you’ll notice the vast majority of players are also Chinese. Many times I was like “Oh, why does this game I’ve never heard about has over 10,000 positive reviews on Steam? Oh, game’s Chinese and so are basically all the reviews”, seems to be a trend with these games.
I think it’s more than that. I’ve seen lot of English games by non Chinese devs have thousands of chinese reviews. I thought steam was pretty big in china. Wish someone who knows a thing or two help me understand the userbase comparision.
I had been so focused on that Italian souls like coming out in September, I totally forgot about this one until it blew up on release. But seeing their review guidelines trying to silence certain topics means I don’t even want it anymore.
Same, I was interested until they started crying.
The chuds are calling this games sales as a repudiation of “woke” game design. IDK what’s more pathetic, that they trust the “free market” to be the arbiter of truth, or that they found the pure version of the market in China.
I don’t even know what they think is anti-woke about it.
Any info about what method they use? How trustworthy is “GameDiscoverCo” ?
Cause the steam survey looks different
