850M$ revenue on 70M$ budget sounds a huge success.
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.
it was an intentional mistranslation by a hit piece, who was retalliating after GameScience rejected SBI.
I’ve not seen any evidence it was a mistranslation, and they’ve made multiple similar comments. And there’s a few in-game moments that also reflect that type of casual misogyny. I’ve also seen it commented on by several outlets and players in the genre, so I have no idea what you mean by “hit piece” since I’m not referring to a single article.
Second, why on earth wouldn’t you open with this as your argument instead of “apparently the sexist comment by the devs was right”?? Lol it seems like you support the Gamergate level sexism smh
Critical support for sexist game devs is praxis, apparently /s
You just convinced me to gift a copy for my friends birthday.
Shocking, no argument or refutation from a sexist chud.
it’s a really good game and the sexism is imaginary.
Fulifilling your dreams is all about the power of persistence folks! That, and having a friend willing to invest almost $70M in your dream.
Wukong’s 70M$ is fairly small compared to the other AAA games.
Just like Chinese wages are pretty small compared to Western wages. Nonexistent in many cases.
source? plus “western wages” is a pretty broad range and doesnt really mean anything without context
As for the nonexistent salary, that’s a reference to the millions of slaves:

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)
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?
Look, they only had $70m to work with, okay? You gotta make some compromises when you’re on such a shoestring budget.
Wow, that’s incredible!
Banning foreign games and protecting your domestic game market so your people will desperately buy anything you give them works, what a shock!
one of the most popular games in China is PUBG, made by a Korean company.
Stop spreading nonsense.

That’s a good point but the OPs simplistic comment is just reductive and is just stirring the pot of casual racism/nationalism
@strongarm @DdCno1 Insulting China by virtue of China’s government objectively being awful isn’t the same as insulting Chinese people, that’s completely not racist, if anything it’s the opposite because you’re raising awareness to the issues the people there are facing. China deserves to be insulted, it’s fucking trash beaten out only by North Korea and maybe Russia, and the people living there deserve better.
Please.
Have you lived in China for any amount of time?
It’s an open-air prison administered by the CCP.
The Chinese people deserve so much better.
china has fewer prisoners than the USA.
Yes! So much fewer!
Because they shoot them instead.
The CCP killed more Chinese than Genghis Khan, they’re an occupying force, we pushed the Japanese out only to leave them to be conquered by someone almost as bad.

America is less free than China, literally.

The exact number of executions carried out in China is not publicly disclosed, as the country treats execution data as a state secret. However, human rights organizations estimate that China executes more people annually than the rest of the world combined.
According to estimates by organizations like Amnesty International, the number of executions in China is believed to be in the thousands each year, but precise figures are difficult to verify.

At least our statistics are available…

How much did those miHoYo games cost to make?
