You're 100% correct.

Wukong is a game most people wouldn't give a second glance if the Western market wasn't such a tossing dumpster fire. In fact, in the last decade most Chinese made games -- regardless of quality -- have gone completely ignored (outside of their mobile gacha titles). It was only up until recently did they get any attention and it was precisely because the West has fallen so massively.

The thing I dread the most is that semi-woke and outright woke games that aren't Dustborn-tier quality will soon start getting a pass because that's all the market will be flooded with. In fact, I wouldn't even be surprised to see people roll over and accept a game like Avowed if they find the combat decent enough and some gameplay loops just barely engaging.

I dread the day when we get a game starring some trans-lesbian cyborg played by Debra Wilson loudly proclaiming her pronouns through an obscenity-laced tired, all while killing a straight white man in Nazi garb. People will proclaim the game as being "good enough" because it's a bloated UE6 title that barely runs at 20fps on a PC that costs 10 grand, and some of its mechanics work most of the time on half the computers it's played on, but it will get a pass because it happens to be "95% better" than all of the other uber-ultra-woke corposlop flooding the market.
