I played a few years of Arknights - was pretty fun! I got tired of having to log in every day, and after being a free player for that long I had becomes so immensely powerful that the game became extremely easy.

Funny thing about it being Chinese developed and having a "Global" release outside of China. They do get JP voice actors for many of the gacha characters (operators, they're called) - and there was a specific drama surrounding one of them who had voiced an operator known as Platinum. She posted on social media how she had visited a Japanese monument commemorating some lost in WWII, and no word of a lie the second she did that, her Chinese masters cut her off 100% persona non grata. She was replaced in a matter of weeks with a new JP VA who redid every single one of Platinum's JP voice lines. [For one, Japan was pretty mean to China during those years and for two, China is extremely sensitive when it comes to image.]

Instances like this, of people working for these companies doing inocuous things that could, for example, reveal that they respect Taiwan's independence or believe Falun Gong is a healthy religion or anything like that, keep these companies from being taken too seriously. There's already many events where the censorious nature of China's massive bureaus of social control where they "shut down" any kind of negative speech about China. These events will certainly damage China's reputation and continue to do so, keeping games like this on the low key until the fateful day that the Chinese take their country back from the communists.
