    I guess we’ll see. I also think web pages work differently to games, in regards to the money that goes into developing them, and the expected revenue. Western companies would be perfectly willing to make 2 versions of the same game so they can keep milking Western audiences and keep selling to the Chinese players. But logistically that might lead them to dead-ends, such as trying to balance PvP between a European whale and a Chinese player.

    It also means that now there will be data available to compare youth development, gambling addiction etc, between China and the West, which might hasten existing similar actions in the EU, UK and US.

      “But logistically that might lead them to dead-ends, such as trying to balance PvP between a European whale and a Chinese player.” naw fam just region lock the servers!

      “It also means that now there will be data available to compare youth development, gambling addiction etc, between China and the West, which might hasten existing similar actions in the EU, UK and US.” When that paper comes out all the libs will say its based on junk science by an authoritarian government so the data cant be trusted.

      but I totally agree with you, for our purposes it will be nice to see what the differences are.
