>Valve has quietly rolled out an alpha version of its popular Steam client for use by Chinese citizens. The client comes with several censorious features common for software used by those residing in China.
>As tested and explained by WIN.gg, the Steam China client already features such control methods as warning players about excessive gaming times, preventively censoring profiles of Steam Friends, and limiting the hours when games can be played
Epic > Valve, any other opinion is a cope.
You already have a thread up about this. Reposting:
[separating China from the West] is the whole reason Steam China even exists. Gabe noticed that there was a massive influx of Chinese users. It got to the point where Chinese overtook English as the dominant language.
So Gabe immediately took care of the issue with the whole 'steam china' initiative. Basically gives them their own separate version of steam they can use and lets them have most of the control over it.
How big of a stake does Tencent have in Valve?
It's a double whammy of keeping China away and funneling money from them back to the West.
Tim is owned by the CCP. He does the exact opposite. All his money goes to the Chinese govt.
How does Valve making a program for China equate to Tencent owning Epic Games?
Why does the west continue to facilitate an oppressive regime, while at the same time, act like progressives?
Tencent doesn't own Epic. Why outright lie like that? I'm sure your Valve drone ass could come up with some legitimate arguments against Epic... right?
It's the same because shut up
>what is history of the United States?
Perfect World is not a militant CCP organization of the Jiangs. It's also not facilitating shit. It's protecting you from them.
Look at the text above the highlight, champ. (Or should I say, chump)
Keeping those subhumans in their own eco system separate from the rest of the world is a good thing though.
>NOOOOOOOOOOOO HOW DARE VALVE FOLLOW THE LAWS OF THE LAND IN CHINA
Kill yourself
He doesn't own it either because he's listed as an owner? What's your logic here, grug?
>censorship in order to do business in china
OR
>literally owned by china
Hmm
The problem here is, that everything implemented in the chinese steam is going to become our steam in some years because it will be easier to just program one client and not two separate ones. Hopefully this scenario is far far away from us but we all know that after money is only crypto and everyone is chipped, this will just be one of the last things to come too.
Also another problem is that by separating these usergroups he bows down to the chinese goverment and my guess is that valve does this because else china would ban steam completely and make their own (which is crazy to think of that this didn't happen already. Tencent is able to build something like steam in less than a week and make it better).
You should read the history of literally any war the US has ever been in.
Epic is not literally owned by China. Why do Steamies feel the need to lie so much? It's like they have an agenda...
A 40% stake isn't the same as owning a company you brainlet
>is going to become our steam in some years
There is not a single reason to think that. Seriously.
Epic doesn't even have forums or profiles to begin with.
Not currently, but why not make a far fetch into the future. Would you say that money won't become virtual in lets say the next 30 years? The chinese social-system with their social-score works fine (my opinion) and that is a problem (my opinion too).
The person who posted this thread gets paid for doing it.
The only thing standing between China and complete ownership of Epic is Tim Sweeney deciding he's ready to retire
Because they're only into being progressive as long as its profitable.
The only thing standing in the way of Steam becoming cuckolded and censored shit is Gaben (who reinstated Hatred after Lombardi removed it). What's your point?
It's not even the government. The US government is way more hostile to China right now. It's corporations like Google, making a censored search engine for gooks in secret, while acting so progressive and morally superior in public.
Epic is actually owned by chinks you troglodyte. No one owns Valve.
cope, back to venezuela commie, google is just the most democratic and capitalistic company on the planet, make a better one, the invisible hand of the free market has spoken.
They're literally on the board of directors, as stated by Sweeney himself. They own their company, obviously. They didn't even need Sweeney's OK to launch Fortnite in China. Why? It's their fucking company.
>less chinks on actual steam (hackers, high ping niggers, etc)
>Government gets their own little box that is more compatible to their system
>profit goes to Valve, privately owned and not tied to any government
Sounds fair to me.
> hostile to china
Its just a public dick stretching contest to appeal to their redneck base. Our government is our corporations and none of them are going to give up on getting a piece of that Chinese money.
>valve has quietly released
Why are there 3 fucking threads with the exact same wording in the OP? Are the shills making these threads (3 of them with the same exact wording) forbidden from deviating from their script?
