Let's talk about the elephant in the room or should I say panda.

The retards who dislike the game are obviously at it again saying "yeah but it's all just chinks buying it"

Is there any statistics that show that it's not just the Chinks. Any way to see just the western steam numbers? Is this game even released in China?

Nope, just chinks sorry, and yes chinks purchases are less valuable, the game is $37 in china, so they make $24 per copy after the steam+UE cut

It's very hard to tell just based on players playing at the same time, but let's try.

Steam DB times are UTC

China is +8
Taiwan is +8
Japan is +9
Korea is +9
SEA is +6 to +8

US is -5 to -8

Europe is 0 to +2


We see a very rapid climb to 100k players at American/European post work hours. This is very early morning for Asia so doubt anyone really playing it much there, if they are they go to work in an hour.

So about 100k of these are American and European for sure. Then the Europeans go to work and sleep.

The we see a gigantic rise in players to 180k around Asia post work times. At this time American at work, Europeans just finishing work and Asians are going to sleep.

Then you have the massive drop at 22 UTC when most Europeans went to sleep, most Chinese are finishing sleep, most Americans are finishing work. And then as Americas come home from work you see a rise to again to 88k and you'll probably see a spike in a few hours as the Chinese finished work.

Any way to expand others? 23% being others is pretty major only 5% US.

Who cares, sold units is sold units, not like they're going to stop making games because they're for China. Not like your expectations of a good game are different from a Chinese gamers.

>>712517995 (OP)
The game currently is top 3 in the US.
You know the thing about sales rankings is that it's based on how much a game is selling at this exact moment so it tends to shift from time to time. Stellar Blades' case, it's a domino effect where even if you accuse it's chinks propping it up, you will see people from other regions buying it and playing because it has a high player count and an overwhelmingly positive review. If even half of those players stick around and actually like the game, it still inflates the total sales for the game. At least this is my understanding on how it works on steam since data is readily available there and you can view in real time what games are trending

You worded it kind of weird and assumed wrong.

Heres a graph from ChatGPT I asked it to consider post working hours from 5pm to 1 am I think thats when the vast majority of people can game.

That 12~16 UTC spike is China + Europe actually.

And the post 00 UTC is American coming home from work.

So you're saying most games are propped up by the Chinese? Or just Japanese games are.

>>712517995 (OP)
It's a Korean game though. China wouldn't mass to it out of national pride like they did to, say, Wukong.

>>712518376
Based chinamen saving gaming

>>712521413
Most anime style games definitely are, on PC at least.

>>712522094
Every game is propped up by chinamen because they are the largest demographic on steam.

>>712521861
What you're forgetting is that other countries aren't as mentally ill as the west, see >>712518376
They don't mind playing games from other countries

>>712522159
Except for most woke games. Those are hard carried by Americans, you can check on gamalytic

>how much a game is selling at this exact moment
As far as I know, it's the last 48 hours.

>>712521861
I don't think dick cares about nationality, race or whatever. It cares about sex.

>>712522287
I mean thats true but woke games is too broad a topic. I know what games you mean the ones listed here.

Forspoken
Saints Row
Suicide Squad
Avowed
Concord
Star Wars Outlaws
God of War: Ragnarok
Dustborn
Unknown 9
Dragonage Veilguard
Suicide Squad
Flintlock


But like Apex Legends is woke as fuck too.

Tons of these free to play or big ones are woke as fuck.

>>712522594
Same with Rainbox Six Siege and so on, you get my point. These are hugely popular series but do shit like this.

>>712519270
Yeah I don't know why these retards think that if a game does well in China then it flopped. If you can enter the Chinese market then you won, simple as. Westerners does not matter that much.

>>712521229
it's really fucking funny how every woke game is only bought by americans while actually good games have a lot of chinese engagement

>>712521229
>china only plays good games and completely dodges bad ones
based..?
