    depends how much chinese influence you want in the gaming market.

    There’s no stopping that train now, Tencent or no.

    Traditional devs need to be ready to compete, and breaking up monopolies makes for a market more prepared to do so.

        The domestic market can be, and even that depends on your perspective. For example, China doesn’t have the insane Disney copyright regime the West has that artificially suppresses competition.

        Competing in the domestic Chinese market is another conversation entirely, as right now, for video games, China has to come to us. The remnants of insular, planned economy only get you so far when you’re trying to build soft power and expand into foreign markets.
