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 (where it had a big marketing campaign)
Monkey 🐵
- Hmm monke
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.
How much did those miHoYo games cost to make?
