China has already been aggressively regulating games for the last few years, in part due to how exploitative lootbox/gacha games got over there. The worst of monetized games in the West are already as bad as things were there before regulation if not worse - to a degree, any good guidelines we have here are enforced by Google and Apple for parity with Chinese rules (requirement to publish rates, etc.)
Chinese Genshin Impact players are actually more protected from exploitation than players in the US. It's wild. I suspect we'll probably see regions like Europe adopt similar regulations over time.
