There is no question over the last 10 years the quality and production level of Chinese developed games has seem to sky rocket. Many of these games even being free to play. But honestly I haven’t played a single one. For the same reasons I refused to download TikTok.
China is a well known surveillance state. I worry downloading and playing these games especially on a PC or mobile phone would just be a huge privacy risk.
Am I being to paranoid ? Are there some regulations I’m not aware of that might protect me anyway ?
I feel like I’m missing out on some really high quality visually striking games because of it
Paranoid? No. Racist.
If you were really paranoid, you’d trust no games, regardless of origin country.
I don’t know what led you to believe this person is racist, but this is a massive leap in logic. There are plenty of reasons a person could be wary of the Chinese government that don’t involve them hating the race of its people. Please be more considerate in the future.
Chinese government uses all tools at its disposal to broaden their range of influence in tech, including tracking and monitoring. Avoiding products backed by chinese government doesn’t make one racist, the same as avoiding products with NSA influence doesn’t make one anti-american.
Only avoiding Chinese products while giving NSA ones a parse does make them racist though
