The problem is that they keep running their mouths and make tall claims with nothing substantial to back it up. At no point since the original trailer reveal in 2020 has Game Science allowed fame to get to their head, and they worked very hard to create as good of a product as they did and kept as low of a profile possible. That is the Chinese way. Be it semiconductor, military, infrastructure, or now, gaming.
Indeed. But I don't see it as a problem, but a like a feature of their kind. That is why China and India are incomparable. The West and the Russians continue to make the big mistake of comparing the two, and taking India way too seriously. China is the oldest civilizational nation that had endured to this day. While India is an artificial British construct led by loincloth imperialists sitting atop a region that had ancient civilizations with rich cultures.
China has its own rich mythology but still lives in the real world. While India lives within the myriad mythologies adopted from its constituent parts, and other made up stuff. China knows that for something great to happen, there is much work to be done. While India wants to talk things into existence. The elite Indians had taken advantage of the decline in the West to gain some benefits for themselves. This had deluded them with false hopes that they could take over the world by talking. But the reality is still there for all but the most deluded to see. Brand new infrastructure works are crumbling in Delhi and Bihar. India's military still relies on imports, even for basic items such as service rifles and clothing. India had only won 6 medals in the Olympics with no gold, behind even Kenya in achievement. Many international companies have tried to open shop in India, and many more have fled. And somehow, India wants to create a AAA game of its own?
The BJP had regressed India from a Third World nation into a Medieval kingdom. There is just too much sensitivities. How could India ever create a AAA game about the Ramayana epic when they themselves have trouble discerning reality from myth? When so many Indians take their own mythologies as literal science, anyone making fictional works about it is gonna get into serious trouble for touching something so "sacred".
