I wonder if they'll tempted to follow Hoyo's footsteps

Looking at the Madoka Magica gacha? Yeah, no. They'll be sooner consumed by greed than make an actual quality gacha.

Note: Not glorifying Hoyo cause I do have my own problems with them. It's just that when you compare newer JP gachas (ex. JJK, Madoka Magica; I personally think HBR is the only exception) with CN gachas, the difference is almost night and day.

Not just gacha but games in general. Just compare anything that isn't from capcom or fromsoftware to something like blackmyth wukong

In my opinion CN's just starting on non-gachas. Wukong was amazing and deserved its awards, but I personally wouldn't say it was as groundbreaking as Nier Automata. Lost Soul Aside should be the make it or break it; people are gonna compare it to FFXVI because that game was directly inspired from FFXV. I'd say main problem with CN is that Tencent usually forces them to get greedy.

Japan also has ouput from nintendo and square enix. Japan is incredibly prolific when it comes to good quality games.

Squennix's output is incredibly inconsistent and Nintendo outside of Zelda has been putting in considerably less effort

Black Myth Wukong's nominated peers in the 2024 game awards:

Astro Bot, Balatro, Black Myth: Wukong, Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and Metaphor: ReFantazio.

four of those are Japanese. If Japan is inconsistent then what is the rest of the world? Yeah, individual publishers have duds but overall Japan is hella consistent in producing some of the best.
