Same for gaming industry or even the biggest company like apple. Appease the ccp or you’re not allowed to sell your product in China.

For games I believe American companies cannot directly sell their product in China, they need to go through a Chinese company. Blizzard went through Netease, Valve goes through Perfect World, and Riot is 100% owned by Tencent anyway.
