It’s very difficult to separate what is the chinese state (Seriously, how could Tencent get all the money it has past chinese currency controls without the state allowing it) its people (whom must worship the state to be allowed a normal life) and all asians from the area (who are often the victims of CCP)

I have no…

“I can understand releasing an edited trailer in China, because the CCP’s strict controls over foreign media (and local support of this) is the price you pay for doing business there, but changing everyone’s trailer is a bit much.”

Because China uses their giant market to force companies to do their bidding. If they…

Fuck the CCP

Yeah, they definitely should change their strategy. I mean, why sell as many units as Xbox One in half its lifetime and pretty much be on par with PS4's growth rate when you can have better performance!!

eeeeh...I feel like we’ve done this dance so many times that it’s near automatic.

“ooooh, this might be time when Nintendo is in trou—oh, nah they’re fine.”

NIntendo has spent the better part of the decade finding itself as the “second console” for most gamers. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to assume that most people…

I’d have preferred Kingdom of Amalur: The Reckoninging.

Testing out third party programs that allow you to cheat in a multiplayer game is not what a beta is for.  No one is just cheating because its a beta, these same people were fully planning to carry this behavior over to the live game because that’s what cheaters do.

So... you’re basically saying you have a point except for in this case when you decided to make your point, where you don’t have a point?

Just gonna ignore the rest huh? Alrighty.

You literally have no leg to stand on complaining about Tencent’s business practices if... you’re a gaming consumer? These kinds of nonsensical arguments don’t make you some kind of voice of reason, here. Making the fallacious insinuation that you must care about all similar issues to truly care about any one individua…

Even though I really despise the leaders of these 4 countries, this is just using a correlation that is benefitial to your views.

So this is the kind of Chinese gov pressure that Taiwan was talking about to WHO ? Delete the message by deleting the messenger and the whole messaging system ? Whatever the reasons, isn’t it a bit ... unelegant ?

I think many would agree that the lack of a formal union for game devs is the problem.  If you’re advocating for some economic model that completely removes capitalism, I’m not sure if that would be a better solution.

He has his ax to grind, so he’ll just move the goalposts and ignore you.

“Nintendo Removes Game From Switch Shop After Developer Reveals Secret Code Editor” - that’s not a good piece of evidence.

Its literally one of the most well funded and powerful companies in the world. “doesn’t have the budget” isn’t even part of the conversation. If you’re going to take on something like the video game industry then you have to invest big. Windows Phone should be a big enough clue that if you don’t invest in third-party…

Not surprising that younger buyers aren’t seduced by the image of a gang of fat sixty-year old accountants cruising down the road in machines that sound like farts through a megaphone. Nothing about it is appealing.

Not surprising from a country that banned Winnie the pooh. It’s crazy how people with power have such fragile egos.

@Hiero: Thank you for entertaining us with the irony that is you typing "QI".
