So, what’s up with gaming in china? Like, why does China need its own edition of foreign games? What’s wrong with Chinese players get access to the rest of the world’s version of Minecraft or Roblox? Like why does ChinaBlox always add a parachute to ur player model when ever you fall over X amount of distance, and then puts up a message saying dOn’T dO tHiS iN rEaL lIfE. Yeah, people already get that. You don’t always need to hold the gamer’s hand. Also, Tencent is against teenagers gaming for more than 2 hrs on end. Ppl should just let teenagers play VIDEO GAMES (although that might just be Tencent’s problem, not the CCP’s.) Another thing is, that apparently ChinaBlox has really strict rules for some reason…
TL;DR: China should embrace gaming culture rather than going against it.
it’s also interesting to look at China’s console market, which is basically non-existent, even though the country is so close to Japan, where console games are all the rage. instead, playing video games is frowned upon mostly and considered a waste of time/corrupting people’s morale, almost to the same extent as gambling. and let’s not forget there was a ban of videogame consoles from 2000 to 2015.
So, do the Chinese play mostly on their PCs? Also, why isn’t gaming as accepted in China as I’d like it to be
