Wait... if you can’t sell stuff with skulls, how do people sell games with pirates in China?

Tom Clancy is rolling in his grave.

Removing sex and gambling references is one thing, but knife icons and blood splatters on a game about shooting people... that’s just silly

Thank whatever non-existent space wizard you worship that these studios are willing to bend over backwards and compromise their original visions to placate a country with some of the worst human rights violations and extreme censorship laws.  Is something like R6S even going to have that big a playerbase in China? …

Killing other humans = fun 👍

WTF?!

Oh Ubisoft. You will earn enough money by releasing the game in China that you can afford maintaining two different builds of the game.

The devs want to crack down on their players for being "toxic" but they'll court places like China that serve human rights abuses for breakfast. Someone crash the video games industry already.

Have you really use it? It IS a gamecube control, not a a gamecube-style.

Ok

As someone who still owns a GameCube these runs of GCN controllers (this one and the run they did for WiiU Smash) have been great! I feel like finding good quality GCN controllers has become increasing more difficult to come by.

...that’s a good point.

I don’t really know who comprises the market for this game.

Style is the wrong term. It’s a straight up GC Controller. The back of the box says it will work with the Switch and WiiU with adapter and with the Wii and GC straight up. I have yet to test but I wouldn’t doubt the Big N on this one.

you never know when they might stop being garbage games for dopamine addicted whales

Netease and the Chinese market.

I feel like the headline just needs a “. . . because of course” tacked on. I’m not immediately against mobile games, but with Diablo I’m very skeptical the gameplay can translate.

Oh boy! A mobile midquel of a classic game with simplified and imprecise touch-screen controls, in a genre known for needing precision and careful actions!

Diablo is dead. At least, as we knew it.

The complete silence from the crowd after the video says everything about what a misstep this is considered by the fanbase. Easily the worst received announcement of the keynote, and the one they had hyped up the most.
