Thank God I'm not a Chinese or australian gamer
Helo
so that's basically saying : no game for the Chinese
Communism truly is a cancer
And here we're complaining about the ESRB, PEGI, and CERO.
In other words, you won't get a single game released in China unless it's Baby Shark. But expect there to be plenty of bootlegs and illegal games.
You should do a video about ROBLOX developers having to change their games for the Chinese market. I think it would be an interesting video.
This is the most BS rule list I've ever seen.
Different people different views.
Don't go to there market if you don't wanna change it for a foreign market.
It's also funny as China has been making there own anime/media to better compete with places like Japan and south korea.
True China has censorship, but Japan is going all out on every video game. Resident Evil Village censored but of course the users on Steam will find a way
They should add a 3+ or "Fit For Family" rating as there will clearly be games that don't have any particularly violent/mature properties to them.
Glad I don't live in China. But I fear that if China rules this world, a system like this, much more stringent than what the world has now, will be implemented worldwide. That said, the only thing I approve of is the development standard.
As for the age-rating system, I don't care much about it.
I don't understand how Genshin exists.
Still waiting on when China finally follows through their Internet Isolation…
Which will never happen due to happily being connected to the world, but playing it their own way still.
That’s lame.
I like some parts of those rules; checking the scenario and content of the game is complete, what can be bought isn't just cosmetic, not copy pasted gatcha games.. Of course it's the "cultural values and historic facts" that is the real problem.
OK games like Assassins Creed will also be losing points over that, depending on how much creative license is there regarding that. Hopefully it'll at least make the business big shots rethink if they want to push an incomplete game for sales, or delay it a bit so they can get it into the Chinese market.
Bet the copy paste rule don't apply if it's ripping off a Western IP 😉
At least I don't know to worry about certain communities pushing their agendas in games they don't even buy 😒
Too bad Chinese games are all one big agenda though.
[Baby being born]: "Hello, sir. Where am I?"
[Doctor]: "China"
[Baby]: This comment has been removed for violating the policies of the Chinese government
can you talk about the new mexican video game rating system?
is a copy paste of the movie rating system DX
They have to do this for every game even if it's good or not or suits them damn
Well, some points sound really great (no unneccesary pay for free to play; no copy paste cashgrabs) but then comes Ideological direction with "Chinas Values and the outlook on history" so games that even remotely have something about the Events of the1989Tiananmen Square protests it gets them instantly an rating of 0.
Im surprised that i agree with any of this, the point i agree with being originality.
On other hand, i do wonder if saying that genocide is wrong leads to 0 on ideological, or espousing zhuangzi or other anti-nationalist, anti-government chinese philosophy…
I love it when "experts" are required to check for possibly harmful content I could view. I don't know what I would do if "experts" weren't around to protect me from all this content that diverts from true "principles".
Gone are the days you could send a cut version to the censors and just release the full version before they noticed.
So basically anything that doesn't propagade China politically will be reject with a 0 on the cultural score. This in turn means, Chines propaganda will spread world wide through games because all the companies want part of the Chinese market. What a dim future for non-indy titles.
Socialist lol… it's going for one party rule to a autocracy by the year.
