I think you need to look up what "whataboutism", or "appeal to hypocrisy" means: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism
> I'd wager China has more foreign media consumption than the US.
With Hollywood being located in the US, I'd be surprised if this wasn't true.
> The only thing the link says is that rules for approval of games to be published in the mainland include that they have to be in simplified characters
This is a quote from the linked article: "SAPPRFT’s rules also forbid the use of traditional Chinese characters." How is this not "banning traditional characters"?
- contingencies 10y agoI think you need to look up... To support your 'Chinese games suck because the Chinese market sux because Chinese people suck' argument, you claimed that Chinese people have no idea what's going on outside the country, which is an offensive and baseless statement. If anyone needs to brush up on reasoning, it's you. With Hollywood being located in the US, I'd be surprised if this wasn't true. It may surprise you that some of the more intelligent television and film produced does not come from America and finds huge popularity in China. One recent example is Black Mirror[0], a series of seven sketches pregnant with social commentary of the likes rarely found in US film production. China loved it. I note someone is busy making a US version... to follow your reasoning in jest, no doubt because they are dumbing it down for the dumb audience who have no idea what's going on outside of their own country.

- kkarakk 10y agowow you are really pushing your angle of china making good games by showing us how china likes western tv! you haven't been able to name one good game(except something you have nostalgia goggles about and that you can't even name). so far it seems like you're avoiding the facts in order to feel good about being/working in china. also the original poster never said the chinese people suck, he said that their attitude to culture is very close minded(which from my exploration of their gaming and geek culture seems to be true- everything has to be related to their history in some manner, novel ideas rarely take off) and market forces driven by the government produce drivel
- contingencies 10y agoThe only people avoiding facts are those hand-waving from afar, which is all well and good but one should stop short of offensive generalizations.
