Asians interested in asian myths and legends?? Holy shit.

Also 88% is contextually such a suss number

Someone was saying on reddit that 1/3 of active steam users are based in mainland China so if that's the case this stat is less surprising.

China pandering in games about to go into overdrive.

Edit: when a Chinese game made for Chinese people sells as well as this, you can bet your britches more western studios will try to get in on those sales. How do you do that? Give a bit of a nod towards China in your games and don't add anything that will piss them off. I wonder if Ubisoft will put assassin's creed in China next.

It doesn't matter to me, but I'm just saying expect it.

China pandering to itself apparently

No no no, it’s only bad when bad country does it, you see! When good country does literally the same thing but more extreme, it’s good!

i'm pretty sure as a chinese game developer it's pretty easy to rent a few 10k people to install the game. still, so far i have heard and seen only good things about the game, so i guess it will be a huge success worldwide when it comes out.
