China is the world’s biggest gaming market, where a culture of creativity has flourished – so please do not conflate companies and players with a repressive regime that cracks down on individual expression
You do realise the CCP data monitoring systems are known to be completely indiscriminate, right? They try to monitor everyone they can, as much as they can
That’s why I’m fine with it on consoles. That and I don’t live in China, so I don’t have a social credit file that I care about being affected.
PC games though? Whole 'nother story. People often use their gaming PCs for more serious stuff too, plus it isn’t nearly as big an opportunity cost to later ship a PC update granting remote code execution.
What do you expect me to be able to do about PRISM, exactly? American made software and services aren’t exactly avoidable like their Chinese equivalents are.
If it’s on a console, sure.
What are they gonna sell, my play time habits?
Who are you that’s so important that the government of China wants your information so badly they’ll track your every habit through… a video game?
who are you, Winston Smith, that’s so important…
