I wouldn't be surprised if this WAS the plan and these western studios were dumb enough to fall for the instant money of ESG, lose reputation and sales for inferior products, lose stock value to only be taken over by Chinese companies.
Only thing is, would that make a difference? The reputational damage is done and people are less caring of these franchises. This might have been more a phyricc victory for the Chinese as THEIR economy isn't doing so hot and this could end up a Bethesda situation as after Microsoft bought them, what have they really done?

Western media outlets keep saying that, yet they just announced a stimulus. We're also in the dark about how many commodities China's actually buying, since they're now writing contracts that aren't denominated in US Dollars, but the stupid trading algobots just see number go down and think China's in recession.
There's a lot of bots in the West trying to downplay the risk of China, keep people's attention elsewhere when they are a risk.
At the same time, there's TOO much evidence that China's internal corruption has hollowed out their capabilities. Give you an example, one of the things they show off for their military prowess is a sniper rifle that shoots grenades. The scope punches the user in the eye when you shoot and why would you have a sniper rifle to shoot grenades when you can have a machine gun do it and for more range you can angle it into a mortar. UNLESS, you can't supply the amount grenades to have multiple grenade machine guns.
China is a glass cannon, from it's infrastructure, military and economy. Doesn't mean they can't do a lot of damage to us before they shatter though.
To be clear: the United States government just sent hundreds of millions of dollars it doesn’t have to foreign nations and then turned around and told Americans in crisis “there’s no money for you”. All of the economies are fake.
Nah bro, America is on the verge of creating AI Übermensch that will render all human labor obsolete. It's totally not a glorified Ponzi scheme pump-and-dump. Trust The Science™.
The studios do not exist. The executives making these decisions know exactly what they are doing and who they are doing it for, and have a golden parachute and their next job lined up already.

Never underestimate how easy it is to manipulate the normie into buying corpo-slop.

It's a mix right now:

china's entire economy is fake.

Ah the same way bankers fucked us over around 2007...
