On a console, for an offline game, sure.

I don't trust my details aren't being sent to the CCP any other way.

Are you fine with it being sent to corporations? Because news flash, they sell your data to way more than just the CCP.

I mean, Genshin Impact is an outlier in games out of China. A lot of the games, even the big budget ones, from developers there are freemium or gacha trash (and Genshin only minorly avoids that by having a decent story and gameplay).

The first step would be to produce proper single player games that aren't reliant on a paid store model. There are some examples of that, but they're incredibly rare.

Isn't Genshin Impact also a gacha game?

[–] Silverseren@kbin.social -1 points 1 year ago

As I said, it only minorly avoids the fate of other gacha games by actually having effort put into its story and gameplay.

Racists really coming out of the woodworks for this one.

Ignoring the second part of Blamemeta's comment, the first part is correct: Chinese in the context of this article isn't a race, it's a nationality.

Very insightful, do tell me more.
