850M$ revenue on 70M$ budget sounds a huge success.

The exact number of executions carried out in China is not publicly disclosed, as the country treats execution data as a state secret. However, human rights organizations estimate that China executes more people annually than the rest of the world combined.
According to estimates by organizations like Amnesty International, the number of executions in China is believed to be in the thousands each year, but precise figures are difficult to verify.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_China
At least our statistics are available…
At least they get a trial… In the US “officer involved deaths” are the preferred method of state execution.
The best estimates I’m seeing are from https://worldcoalition.org/pays/china/. They are almost certainly inflated, but the last official count was back in 2009 by amnesty international which counted 1718 instances. (Compared to world coalition’s estimate of 8000 for the same year.) that puts the per capita death rate at ~1-3 per million. Police/extrajudicial killings in China are almost unheard of.
Police killings alone (which it should be noted are also statistics which are also not publicly available) were estimated to be ~1300 last year putting the lower bound per capita death rate at 4 per million. Capital punishment in the US is about as unheard of as extrajudicial killings.
Comparing “apples to apples” the US kills ~400% more of its citizens annually, but neither government is overly transparent about it.
“…but if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao, ya ain’t gonna make it with anyone anyhow… cause ya know it’s gonna be…”
Notice how the list mentions that Uyghur and other ethnic minority slaves are not included in the number of Chinese prisoners.
Fulifilling your dreams is all about the power of persistence folks! That, and having a friend willing to invest almost $70M in your dream.
Let us not forget the revolutionary idea to-- now pay attention cause this is BIG-- to prioritize player experience! Can’t believe nobody has thought of that before.
The player experience of running into invisible walls every five meters?
Look, they only had $70m to work with, okay? You gotta make some compromises when you’re on such a shoestring budget.
Wukong’s 70M$ is fairly small compared to the other AAA games.
Just like Chinese wages are pretty small compared to Western wages. Nonexistent in many cases.
source? plus “western wages” is a pretty broad range and doesnt really mean anything without context
As for the nonexistent salary, that’s a reference to the millions of slaves:

I wonder how much of that is marketing. That eats up most of a AAA game budget and I don’t think it was heavily advertised outside of China (where it had a big marketing campaign)
Monkey 🐵
Hmm monke
Aren’t these the “we don’t need female players” devs?
apparently they don’t.
Unsurprisingly and unfortunately, there are plenty of sexist, dumb chud Gamers™ who don’t care about sexist developers.
it was an intentional mistranslation by a hit piece, who was retalliating after GameScience rejected SBI.
I’ve not seen any evidence it was a mistranslation, and they’ve made multiple similar comments. And there’s a few in-game moments that also reflect that type of casual misogyny. I’ve also seen it commented on by several outlets and players in the genre, so I have no idea what you mean by “hit piece” since I’m not referring to a single article.
Second, why on earth wouldn’t you open with this as your argument instead of “apparently the sexist comment by the devs was right”?? Lol it seems like you support the Gamergate level sexism smh
Critical support for sexist game devs is praxis, apparently /s
You just convinced me to gift a copy for my friends birthday.
Shocking, no argument or refutation from a sexist chud.
it’s a really good game and the sexism is imaginary.
How much did those miHoYo games cost to make?
