So 90 % of the players are Chinese

[Qtael]

I was wondering why the game is so popular

Now it makes sense

[DaciValt]

Its not the largest consumer market in the world for nothing.

So? There are a lot of gamers in China too!

[zero.calvin]

[Pocket Dog]

The Chinese have to have something to finally be proud of, even if the game is mediocre.

That's what he's saying. That's not a criticism, just a statement. More people in a country equals more potential gamers.

1.5 billion people in china, that's more than the "western" world.

Sadly China limits your gaming time (government mandated) I believe they get max 2 hours a day and I think unlimited time on weekends only at night. But yea, they came out in droves for their Monke (aka chinese Goku/Superman)

[Kain]

Yeah, most players of a Chinese game are Chinese, being a somewhat crowded nation helps too.

[Too Much Salt]

Most of these sour grapes are probably from the Warhammer community.

[Lundyy]

I mean its a Popular Chinese Story that's used in Western Games.

Well since this game was at 2.2mil player and this morning it was at 300k and now its getting back to 1mil since its morning in China now, so yeah 90% of players are from China.

If you happen to know any Chinese person, not the fake ones born in the States, that person WILL know who Wu Kong is. It's literally THE story us Chinese read. Every single one of us. So yes, 90% of players are Chinese. I'm surprised 10% aren't.

Some of us western gamers appreciate your history and lore without strings attached.

Source? If it's the theory that the percentage of reviews in Chinese = the percentage of the playerbase that is Chinese, that's probably a deeply flawed conclusion, and it doesn't require particularly high intelligence to see why.

This game is about Chinese mythology and features actual places in China. National pride is a big deal in China, so a game that represents China in such a fashion may provide a lot of motivation for Chinese players to write a positive review -- motivation that non-Chinese players aren't going to have. Hence, a high percentage of the reviews end up being Chinese.

I'm glad I was here to elucidate on that for you.
