    Taking into account censorship laws and the cultural significance of the game, I’d say China is likely causing this game to tremendously outperform vs expected metrics. So here’s what I’d like to know:

    1. Total cost of the game in China against other common costs. Is it affordable?
    2. Has China raised the limitations on time played per day for this game? (that I believe exists)
    3. Did the Chinese government help fund ways for this game to reach a wider population? Possibly through a deal to maintain the game’s strong cultural identity?
    4. Is it actually a good game?

    Answer: Yes, though different in execution than people expected. The reviewers I trust give it a Buy Now IF your system can handle it. Sounds like it’s, excuse me, a beast to run.

    4 is easy enough to answer. Off to see some reviews!
