I’m aware he did: That’s kind of my point. Saying it’s a new idea is patently false, there’s multiple examples of it already.

Well... making fun of chinese leaders is certainly not allowed in China these days.

And also like the Nissan EXA/Pulsar... Really, this concept isn’t new.

I’ve found that recent Mainland Chinese immigrants to the US still have very anti-Taiwan views. So it could be mainlanders anywhere.

Wait, is making fun of world leaders not allowed in art anymore? Why are people getting so worked up over this? Was it literally just people from China review bombing the game?

let’s all change our Steam IDs to XiThePooh

People who complain about DRM are similar to Linux gamers. They bitch really loudly about everything but they’re a very small part of the overall gaming community.

“for being so buddy-buddy with them”

Seriously though, fuck that moron Xi Jinping and the rest of his communist regime.

Of course they took it down, Valve absolutely refuses to rock the boat with respect to their business relationships in China. See: the whole mess with Dota 2's Chongqing Major and Valve agreeing to ban one of the players on request from the local government (then releasing a blog post saying they had no idea about any…

Fuck China and fuck those morons who took it down.

I mean only paying customers can review its not general masses, 

Personally I don’t really care if they become villains, I just want my Cyberpunk 2077 as promised, no compromise no delays.

Little of column A, little of column B. There’s a vocal minority who make the DRM aspect of things their priority, but I think — as we’ve seen with the backlash against uPlay/Origin/Epic Store — the ire around digital storefronts is more just that people don’t want to mess around with a bunch of separate accounts.

People doesn’t care about DRM and the platform the games are on.

I think the latter is definitely true, but also GOG just doesn’t have many of the big revenue games. It’s a lot of indie stuff and super obscure titles they dusted off (often spending considerable resources to license). Hard way to make money in this industry I assume. 

CD Projekt Red has received big subsidies from both the Polish government and the European Union. EU sponsored ‘Blood & Wine’. Don’t have to feel sorry for them, they know how to get a good deal here and there.

Do you think their lack of success is more about their small reach (as in not that many casual gamers know about the site) or that people overall don’t care about having DRM-Free Games as much as the vocal minority says they do?

GOC? Projekt Red? Financial trouble?

I think in general this is the feeling for a lot of newer technology for a lot of people. X works fine and I cannot imagine needing Y. Then Y comes along, gets widespread, and people reap the benefits. I do understand your point about early adoption though. There is no point in doing that if you aren’t uber-excited.
