What will happen to Chinese games on Steam? I will be profoundly sad if they disappear. For example: Dyson Sphere Program is one of my favorite games of all time. If that's gone, I'm going to have a hard time not making the CCP my mortal enemy

> If that's gone, I'm going to have a hard time not making the CCP my mortal enemy Wouldn't be a bad choice, regardless of what happens with Steam.

I can't tell if this is an ideological thing or not. There's a lot of states out there to vehemently dislike. But it's always this creepy strain of cold war torch-bearing that is so many people's pet cause. For the record, I think almost all states are on the exact same level of hateable, as a concept.

    That's wrong. Saying that two things are the same doesn't make them the same. So a comment like yours is either totally naive, or paid for by China.

  The Chinese government != the Chinese people. Whenever geopolitics separates artists from their audiences, it’s just sad. It’s in a similar vein of when total war is waged; the governments talk a big game but it’s the common, every day people who suffer. If you have an axe to grind be advised to make sure it’s targeted at the right people.

    > The Chinese government != the Chinese people Are they controlled by aliens from the space? The government people come from the people, it’s same culture/mentality. You can make whole CCP government disappear and new wave of similar people will replace them setting same rules.

    When did I attack the people themselves? It's the Party I said should be stood up against.

      On second read that’s fair. As long as we separate the people from the government/party!

Dyson Sphere Program is in my library backlog… I guess I need to bump it up to the top position!

I appreciate that like something created by a group of people. It’s a great relationship between creators and audiences. That’s awesome and I hope you aren’t cut off from this group for arbitrary reasons like geopolitics.

Chinese games are free to be published outside of China. It is about the control of what's available inside the country.
