Most modern tech companies are trying to create/sell services, even Microsoft is going to the cloud and just letting the client piracy "slide" because it's a losing battle (AFAIK they said they will upgrade pirated versions of Win 8 -> Win 10). There are plenty of Chineese software giants. So it's not impossible at all.
- honest_joe 11y agoHave you tried to do business in China when it comes to software and services ? Not only are these Chinese software giants backed by government but you have to comply with numerous rules and let government to stick its dirty fingers to your stuff. Oh and most of these SW companies sell physical goods as well they are not pure SW at all.
