There is no question over the last 10 years the quality and production level of Chinese developed games has seem to sky rocket. Many of these games even being free to play. But honestly I haven’t played a single one. For the same reasons I refused to download TikTok.
China is a well known surveillance state. I worry downloading and playing these games especially on a PC or mobile phone would just be a huge privacy risk.
Am I being to paranoid ? Are there some regulations I’m not aware of that might protect me anyway ?
I feel like I’m missing out on some really high quality visually striking games because of it
IDK. I don’t trust Chinese (closed-source) software either. I believe TikTok does gather a ton of data (though it’s not Chinese now). On the other hand, I will likely never go to China, so there’s not much the CCP could do to me (maybe blackmail me if I was a politician or something); while the opposite is true for the US.
Why would you never visit China?
Mostly just cost. Broke as hell. Would be nice to visit if I could justify the expense at some point in my life.
Fair enough! Same.
