They’ll likely let the games continue outside of China. They don’t allow TikTok in China because of how algorithmically terrible it is for the brain, but since it’s legal in the US they let that shit go crazy

A lot of Chinese devs already have alternate versions of their games in China with things like limitations on how long minors can play the game and whatnot. The new changes won't be difficult to implement, but big studios will protest because spending limits are bad for business

Chinese apps are pretty bad. WeBull, the investing app, looks like one of those text-based iPhone games from the 2010s

Nothing will ever dethrone Robinhood for creating a whole generation of options gamblers and forcing the entire US brokerage market to offer commission free trading to compete with them

They even have confetti falling from the screen when you close a position that's positive lmao

One of the executives/backers is the freak Jared Kushner. Not surprised he enjoys predatory products
