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.
I think the no-skeleton thing is cultural phenomenon. I am ambivalent to it but would like to hear some Chinese person’s explanation of this. In League of Legends there is a champion called Karthus and he had a skin (cosmetic bs) the splash art of which had a spooky skeleton. The Chinese version of the splash art had the skeleton replaced with something else, which is how I learnt about it.
