China pandering in games about to go into overdrive.

Edit: when a Chinese game made for Chinese people sells as well as this, you can bet your britches more western studios will try to get in on those sales. How do you do that? Give a bit of a nod towards China in your games and don't add anything that will piss them off. I wonder if Ubisoft will put assassin's creed in China next.

It doesn't matter to me, but I'm just saying expect it.

China pandering to itself apparently

No no no, it’s only bad when bad country does it, you see! When good country does literally the same thing but more extreme, it’s good!

It's a game made by China for China, how is that pandering?

Pandering is more like "We included a character who is a ripoff of that character from that other thing because said character is popular!" or "This is an important social issue right now, let's hamfist a take on it we think will be popular without doing any real research on said issue or how to approach it competently"

Not talking about this game. I'm talking about future western releases.

I'm even more confused now, what are you talking about?

Sorry, sometimes I don’t articulate well. I edited my original comment. Maybe it will clarify what I mean to say.
