No politics, we dont like, that is
nah, its no politics in general
if they let someone do it, everyone will do it, and nobody is trying to watch that
ironically enough, that rule got blown out of porportion with people that dont play the game, so they ended up getting mad at the rule that is supposed to prevent this kind of PR lmao
Idk where it got blown out of proportion
But I've read the actual rules and it's up to blizzard's discretion
"engaging in any act that, in Blizzard's sole discretion, brings you into public disrepute, offends a portion or group of the public, or otherwise damages Blizzard image."
The rule is bullshit and honestly just seems there as a free out for Blizzard, but I'm more upset that an american company is kowtowing to china and itll fuck with my vidya
Yay I'm free!

Wb fren <3
Amercian corps don't need to impose Chinese censorship most of the time. China usually get their own localised versions of a game.
Ni ni everyone
I think in WoW Chinese servers, undead don't have visible bones, and most skeleton type enemies are replaced.
nope. wrong.
Really?
God bless you tonight Weab
And Bear
Forget imposing Chinese censorship, what about European censorship?
Fucking iron cross flags replacing swastikas.
They're better sports about this. They allowed BF4 even when it portrayed the PLA as the bad guys. They only banned it after the China Rising DLC, which portrayed a mainland invasion of China by Amercian forces.
Lol, same fren
The problem is when it does
The EU shit whatever, they arent pandering to the eu
But companies in america are pandering to the chinese dollar now and it's starting to show based on company decisions and the fuckin mobile market
they have *been* doing that though
and china isnt the only one
publishers/devs change or censor games for different regions all the time.
for the same exact reason of they want their money
people are getting mad that american business is "bowing" to the chinese money when *america should have been doing the same to china* lmao.
if anything, china is smart. easier to sway a country when you have a large stake in every industry that country has
Them doing it in other regions doesnt make it right that they are doing it to china, I dont want my vidya fucked with period, this just happens to fall within my interest and was extreme
Lmao this should be expected of any private company. I don't know what you think the solution is. Restrict their creative freedom? This is is just mass market appeal.
Just don't play AAA titles if you don't like it, most are crap nowadays.
Just abandon your hobbies lmao
No, just don't expect multi-billion dollar companies to not act like multi-billion dollar companies
That just sounds like be quiet and take it
Maybe I'm misunderstanding
i mean....kind of
how is anyone really going to affect them?
