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.

That's worse than anything China can do.

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?

like this boycott doesbt really do anything to them lmao

most of their customers dont give a fuck

or give a fuck and still hand them money
