Am I crazy not to trust Chinese developed games ?

There is no question over the last 10 years the quality and production level of Chinese developed games has seem to sky rocket. Many of these games even being free to play. But honestly I haven’t played a single one. For the same reasons I refused to download TikTok.

China is a well known surveillance state. I worry downloading and playing these games especially on a PC or mobile phone would just be a huge privacy risk.

Am I being to paranoid ? Are there some regulations I’m not aware of that might protect me anyway ?

I feel like I’m missing out on some really high quality visually striking games because of it

Honestly, this is probably not the best instance to ask this question on. It is well known for downplaying or outright denying anything negative the Chinese government does. If I were you I would ask elsewhere if you want more nuanced answers.

Apparently to a liberal "nuanced" means "answers that I don't find personally upsetting"

What they meant was "the people on this instance don't parrot the imperialist propaganda that I've been gobbling up for years, and that creates a cognitive dissonance and hurt my narcissistic brain."
