Tell me again how China is some utopia and not a controlling dictatorship just like the rest. :/
2 daysI wonder when Steam will get blocked, after Tencent build a Steam alternative store front. If the most popular games are exclusive to their store (in China, not worldwide), such as Fortnite and LoL, then it would be adopted quickly. In that case, it will be worse than Steam, because not only tags are blocked, but the LGBTQ+ games in its entirety.

Tencent already has an alternative in China known as WeGame, it only has government approved games so if any Chinese gamer wants the majority of games they’re going to use Steam.
I wonder if we’ll ever see this stupid persecutions stop in my lifetime. 15 years I thought it was inevitable now im not so sure.
They kept the games up, more than many other companies would have done.

At least the games are still for sale, as best I can tell. That means that the messages in the games could still be reaching an audience and the producers are still able to get revenue from them for that market (hopefully to keep making more games).
The alternative is that Steam gets banned in China making it much harder to access this content at all.

Your a dumbass, steam isn’t going to change all of China and neither are you. Just because someone won’t die on a ideological hill doesn’t mean they don’t care about such topics and I’m frankly sick of puratin standards.

Well yeah. China is an authoritarian shithole empire. Like Russia but somehow even more embarrassing.
