The Chinese market is the biggest in the world, it's just barely anything makes it out to the rest of the world. Pubg and LoL are the only ones that come to mind. There's an upcoming game called Black Myth: Wukong which is the first real attempt to get a AAA game in the worldwide market by a Chinese developer.

Just thinking that Blizzard do Overwatch Hearthstone and Starcraft eSports and Valve have DOTA
Interesting comment about Tencent...
My father in law made a comment whilst I was playing Ghost of Tsushima, believing it would look more interesting if it were Chinese martial arts instead of boring Japanese sword play. This is clearly his being Chinese and not liking Japan more than anything else.
I couldn't recall if id ever seen a Chinese game go international let alone playing one. He said they were the biggest producers of Vidya games in the world and then pulled up Tencent. I really don't think buying majority stakes of American companies counts personally as I was more interested in the cultural exchange of ideas but I was actually quite unaware of them before then.
