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
Oh you sweet summer child. The US government is the preeminent surveillance state. Just last week they reauthorized warrantless wiretaps for US citizens. After 9/11 they began collecting all digital communication and storing it forever. Look up Edward Snowden like the other comment suggested.
