Sheer insanity, even if it is only for online gaming. I presume that means you can still load up on a single-player game on a console on weeknights, and this could lead to interesting change sin the industry if western publishers targeting a Chinese market decide to put more effort into making single player-first games.

I also wonder how this would impact the breakout success of the Chinese games industry abroad. I don't imagine Genshin Impact would reach the level of success it would if the devs had to almost completely write off a domestic audience.
