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

not like they ever really stopped killing each other, but they did figure out a social and economic order that optimizes for the most vicious monsters and crucially, can keep the looting, pillaging andremoved going no matter what happens to the state back home. it can have an oopsie civil war and the colonization continues. it can even try to rein the monsters in, and the colonization continues. and any serious intervention in this awful franchise system is considered unthinkable, authoritarian, oriental.
