So the CCP is banning online gaming which will prevent players within mainland China from talking and socializing with people outside China. I think this is uncool, messed up and unfair. If Chinese gamers want to communicate with people outside of China and learn about the world's reaction to the CCP's handling of the coronavirus pandemic which they bungled(but at least Trump is going to take the blame, how convenient for the CCP) or vent about the CCP's authoritarian rule, Chinese gamers should.
Does anyone here play Lords Mobile(it's a mobile online game, but I haven't played it since early 2019) or any other MMORPG where they can communicate with Chinese players? How are things in China, because over on Yas Forums, some anons have trouble getting any information about what's going on in the country unless it's CCP approved propaganda.

I’ve never run into a chink online. What games do they play?

Finally, no laggy players

The timing implies such.

In the article, it says the Animal Crossing game is one of the reasons why the CCP are angry and they said something that online gaming lacks authority or monitoring. It's just video games.
Luis Brown
Oh no... now how will all those botters in EVE and WOW pay their bills?
time to spam that big trigger word text one last time to get every chink's ass raided

>Also, the virus leaked from a biolab. As rotten as China is, I don't believe this for a second. China's complete lack of understanding of hygiene is a perfectly believable and realisitc explaination. It's still a crime against humanity to be that disgusting, of course.

>China region locks China
fucking based. If China wants to exist in a vacuum I say let them. Soon enough they'll collapse in on themselves again and we won't have to deal with China again until we can leave the Planet.

Google says that Yas Forums is owned by a Japanese guy.
I think Chinese companies own Riot games, so Chinese players probably play League of Legends. On Lords Mobile, there are a lot of Chinese players and a bunch of them use hacker programs to win at the game. I play SNK's Metal Slug Attack and there are Chinese players there. But after the Hong Kong protests started, I blocked a lot of mainland Chinese players, the players with the CCP flag. I've tried asking about how things are in China, but a few of them are all about how they defeated the virus. Unlike Lords Mobile, SNK's Metal Slug Attack doesn't have the translation thing which allows people of different languages to communicate with each other. In Lords Mobile, you can tap another players chat message and the system translates it.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but this is basically 100% confirmed not happening. >"according to LTN, which cited news from a Chinese gaming forum." >news comes from a taiwan news site which cites another taiwan news site which cites a random post on a gaming chinese forum website as its source
Basically it's not happening.

Good Riddance! Literally nobody is going to miss Chinese cheaters.
Hows Blizzard hold up, literally 50+% of income from WoW comes from China alone, are they not able to play the game anymore or do they have their own specific rules for that shit.

Good god I hope they do this, I wont have to play with those cheating bugmen ever again.
TechTimes said that nothing is sure about the gaming ban in China, although they do cite the Taiwannews site and uses the information from there.
Anyway, with the surveillance and monitoring that goes on in China, they probably would ban online gaming.
Jaxson Ortiz
can't come soon enough
Jeremiah James
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. TaiwanNews cites LTN (another Taiwan website) which cites a supposed post on some random Chinese gaming forum as proof of this happening. Anyone who thinks this is happening because of these articles is probably 85 IQ tier.

I don't know, I haven't really been playing anything from Blizzard because of the Hong Kong protests. I think a Hearthstone player of theirs supported Hong Kong protesters and Blizzard reprimanded him for it and took away his prize money or took away his place at a tournament to banned him from it. I don't remember, but Blizzard backed down from the punishments, I think, and their own employees walked out of the company to protest Blizzards actions.

Well, the CCP does censor information online. Starting in early January, they've used surveillance to censor any talk about the coronavirus that began spreading in Wuhan and China.
Holy shit. I get to play and enjoy GTA online again.
Matthew Jenkins
It's fine. The companies will just move their infrastructure to China. We will still be able to chat and play with them we will just be censored.
Ayden White
I've never seen Chinese players in GTA:O. I see them everywhere in Red Dead Online. They're usually either polite, or massive cunts.
Noah Thomas
I'm using Google Translate but it says that strict regulations might be happening.
Some of the translation reads: "Up to now, Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangdong have all sent notices to game companies and publishing houses. Strictly changing skins, set numbers, and unapproved advertisements have become a fixed number. The implementation of the real-name system and the protection of minors are becoming more and more strict , Small games, consoles, stand-alone is also illegal. As Grape King said before, the most stringent game regulation in history may come."

There is a bunch of stuff Chinese people aren't allowed to talk about, and people love to spam that shit if they know there is a Chinese person in their game. Animal Crossing is just a recent example.
