> They are indeed bloat ware, horrendous privacy invader, outright money seeking in their features, etc. Those cannot be taken granted as evidence of their overall horribleness. Really? > Chinese game players are such a huge population that a large number of them quite closely follow western trends. They play ps4 and xbox1, they know all the memes about trending western games Ugh, no, unless they live abroad. First and foremost, it's because Chinese players usually can only play on Chinese servers which are cut off from the rest of the world (examples - League of Legends, all Blizzard games). Xbox Live is segregated from the outside world too. > There is no strong culture of "foreign barbarians can't possibly understand our culture". Foreigners are routinely treated with better-than-normal-Chinese standards. Foreign cultures are always described as superior to status-quo of Chinese society. etc. This isn't true. Foreigners are often taken advantage of, and the Chinese are outright racist to non-whites. > LoL, the most popular Moba in China, is not rubbish... It's also not Chinese-produced. > as long as you do not touch politics (for which most countries exercise similar policies) you can do whatever you want No. https://www.techinasia.com/china-releases-censorship-rules-for-console-games-and-there-are-a-lot-of-them https://www.techinasia.com/china-releases-censorship-rules-f...

> Ugh, no, unless they live abroad. ... Come on... I am a Chinese. I know how much western gaming videos are trending on bilili.tv, acfun.tv, youku.com. Why are you repeatedly claim things without evidences?... > play on Chinese servers which are cut off from the rest of the world Sure, if you are talking about playing with foreigner players. That's certainly not possible. But that's not the same to claim that Chinese gamers do not play western games... > Foreigners are often taken advantage of You shifted the topic to taking advantage of. That's not the same as you previously claimed "western barbarians". > the Chinese are outright racist to non-whites. I am not sure where did you get this. It's pretty well-known fact that African people live in Guangzhou have been treated preferentially. They are real African people. They are a pretty popular meme about African people live in China and should be exported because they do not have legal residence status. But that's about it. To say Chinese people are racist based on some online memes, it's itself a racist claim. Applying same logic to US people, I can claim that US people are outright racists too. But that is nonsensical. > It's also not Chinese-produced. I was referring the competition. As you claimed that there is no real competitions and any rubbish games can make a lot of money. That is not true. > No. https://www.techinasia.com/china-releases-censorship-rules-f.. https://www.techinasia.com/china-releases-censorship-rules-f.... As I said, politics is very sensitive. And also as I said, banning traditional characters and english words has little impact on the popularity of games, because the majority of gamers are not educated to communicate in these 2 channels. That's my point that such bans do not have big impact on how a game should be produced in China. There are some impact, but none of them causes a game to succeed or fail just on them.

  > It's pretty well-known fact that African people live in Guangzhou have been treated preferentially You've lost your last ounce of credibility. And, for your information, preferential treatment based on race is also racism. You don't seem to understand what you're talking about.

    Well, I can find many orders of magnitude more videos of any country showing racism behaviors on their television. If you think that is a disapproval of my claim, then we are in a draw. There is no ending in this direction of discussion. As for my credibility, I am not sure how my credibility is damaged anyway.
