You don't even need to go that deep, just have a quick look at literally any Chinese game on Steam and you'll notice the vast majority of players are also Chinese. Many times I was like "Oh, why does this game I've never heard about has over 10,000 positive reviews on Steam? Oh, game's Chinese and so are basically all the reviews", seems to be a trend with these games.

I think it's more than that. I've seen lot of English games by non Chinese devs have thousands of chinese reviews. I thought steam was pretty big in china. Wish someone who knows a thing or two help me understand the userbase comparision.
