As of this writing, AC:S has just 41,412 peak concurrent players. DA:V, an admitted and monstrous flop, peaked at 89,418. Now, AC may bump those numbers slightly this weekend, but they would have to more than double their current peak just to do as bad as Veilguard. Yasukesisters.... it's over....

This is the part that worries me. I don't trust China's presence in the industry any more than I trust the woke presence in the industry. Both are hostile forces looking to do harm.
Doing harm is bad for the bottom line. Like we are seeing with the woke presence, it is a self-correcting problem eventually.
It takes way too long though. We're only seeing a correction with the woke shit well over a decade after it became a problem.
And meanwhile the damage it's done is pretty crippling on the metric of "is this a functional society?"
The woke shit held on for as long as it has because it has had institiutional support from our own government and institutions like Blackrock manipulating the market. Destroying this is one of Trump's top priorities. In an actual free market, corrections happen much faster.
China is only competitive now because the entire west is intentionally handicapping themselves. Gamers will buy good games regardless of where they are made. All the west has to do in order to compete is to stop making shit games, and China will be irrelevant.
Reminds me of the climate change scam. Trump was onto something when he called it a Chinese hoax.
Considering West Taiwan is buying up every gaming company that they can get their hands on and are directly working with the ones they can't the problem is in no way self-correcting.
Nonsense. Nobody is holding a gun to your head and forcing you to buy their games. If they put out bad games, people will stop buying them and they will go out of business.
Since there seem to be so many of you that don't trust capitalism to solve this problem, what would you propose instead?
Considering how many people are willing to shell out their money for absolute shit and the shit has literally taken over the market. I mean, the only reason ACS MIGHT be a financial failure is due to its ridiculous budget. And on to that the fact that West Taiwan makes somewhat decent games while they prod western developers further down the rabbit hole of woke DEI slop. Giving West Taiwan total control over the gaming industry.
