‘Be your own hero’: why video games are a battleground in the US–China tech war.

This point is premature for Wukong until we see some data that this was anything more than a domestic market success. Steam data scrapers speculate that China sales are over 80%, so we might be looking at (an optimistic) 1-1.5 million sold in the US so far. Not amazing numbers for a AAA project.

The real story here is that this game's success is the clearest sign yet this vast market has been activated. I'm sure Japanese, Korean, and Western AAA publishers--especially those with a console focus--are very interested.

I'm glad to see it.

GovCo has been stuffing propaganda into Hollywood and games like CoD for most of my life.

I wanna see if China does it better. (I fully expect China to do it better)
