I mean to be fair, it’s probably one of the five games that haven’t been banned by the CCP…

Jokes aside, It does look pretty dope though

I tried to look at the source site, but they want you to pay them, and give them your email to sign up for their newsletter.

Is there an actually reliable way to check their source? How did they get this information? And does this include accounts set to Private?

Its not incredibly surprising given China has the second most Steam accounts and the most active Steam accounts in the world already. But I would like to actually see the source on this data and I am curious about other games as well.

I’d never of heard of this game before but in the last like 2 days it has been everywhere. All over Lemmy, but also in several recommendations on YT, and a few Mastodon posts. They are marketing the fuck out of this one, huh?

I havent really seen any marketing either, I love these style games, I had never heard of it either, I think what happened was that twitch streamers caught wind of it and it spread like wild fire from then.

It was marketed decently enough. I remember seeing a release date trailer in 2022 and it was a known quantity before that. Was even at The Game Awards last Year. There’s definitely heavy marketing right now though and it helps that the numbers are so high.

I am surprised by how one of the really first Chinese AAA games released on Steam is surprising people with how well the Chinese like it

i’m pretty sure as a chinese game developer it’s pretty easy to rent a few 10k people to install the game. still, so far i have heard and seen only good things about the game, so i guess it will be a huge success worldwide when it comes out.
