Not gonna fly in the west. People are selective about censorship, they think the things their country forbids should be forbidden, but think the things other countries censor are dumb, stupid, and anti-freedom.The people mad that you can't say "tianamen square massacre" in a chinese game, or "arab spring" in a middle east game, are the same that have a meltdown, piss, and shit in their panties if you say "the holocaust didn't happen" anywhere they can see.

It’s going to take a big chunk out of steam if you like it or not. China can just eventually ban Steam in China to force people to use their platform. That means no more breakout success like Wukong and Duckov on Steam where the majority of players are Chinese. It will hurt Gaben since most of the market is run my Chinese and Russian bots. Also it’s troublesome for more western games because if China has an exclusive platform they can bully developers into censoring games how they want or they won’t be released on their platform. China is a huge market we already see how Disney lowers the quality of their products to appeal to China.
>>724575107i doubt the chinks will do any better

>>724573158Based!
It will be 99% gacha and you know it
>>724575107There's only like one or two games on epic that actually make use of the lower % to offer their game for cheaper than steam. The rest don't give a fuck making the whole thing pointless. If people want me to use their platform then they need to make sure the product is cheaper too or I'll just stick with what I already use.

>>724572197Sounds like a key reseller site

>>724572456If they allow Japanese games without censorship including lewd ones. I will for the first time in my life hop on a Chinese platform. Steam constantly is too mixed in approvals.

>>724576769so do westerners, what's your point
Will you make an account on Chinese Steam anons? Will you willingly install their launcher onto your system and give it the same privileges you give Steam (which is everything)?
>>724576931Amazon is even a worse option than steam in matters of censorship and pricing.There's not much to do there other than tell bezos to fuck off and tell dan clancy to give a fuck about twitch for once in his lifetime instead of acting like a retarded washed up celeb.
>>724577050not nearly as popular compared to asia
>>724576978>If they allow Japanese games without censorshipYou mean the country that doesn't allow bikinis and the most popular anime of all times is a gay boys love story? You think they won't censor? Hard to tell if /v/ is just retarded or chink shills are good at brainwashing /v/.
>>724572197Great. It's time gaben learned that his actions have consequences. No longer will he gets money from the godly chinks while dickriding eSG browny points through "girl gamer" & "games made by black women" sales promotions.
>>724576931Amazon is poorly run because they do not know how to make a launcher with the features Steam users have especially huge discounts on launch day. They just believed people will buy their games and whatever.

>>724577031I mean gog does that, but it's in no way even close to be a competitor and their library is way too small compared to steam.I don't wanna gets steam just to play beyond citadel and the dev is too much of a schizo to listen to anyone asking for a portJust let a man dream, anon.
>>724572604In 1995 I was 8 and I thought the name "play station" was childish and moronic. I wanted something more refined like a "3D0" or a "Phillips CDI"
>>724572197I wish the Chinese wouldn't use "top" as a way to indicate quality because it sounds retarded.
>>724577291>Chinese censor less than AmericanNo they don't. It's just different censorship.
china should make a concerted effort to abolish denuvo
>>724577465Why would they? That's just asking for people to pirate.
>chinks fuck off to their own platformabsolutely based, isolationism needs to be standard again
>>724577282nah lol
>>724572197Well, this depends on how much of the current buying demographic is Chinese. Temu hasn't beaten Amazon, Deepseek hasn't beaten OpenAI and TikTok was basically uncontested since Twitter killed Vine long before its time. People give the Chinese way too much credit.
>>724572456What is stopping china frm just copypasting already enstablished games and sell them for half off?Everyone is anal about cheap Made in China stuff for 30 years now and no one could do anything about it so why not for games?
TikTok but videogames? Yeah sure, I'll just play this short dumbass AI slop game for 30 seconds, then swipe to the next one.
>>724577527Piracy is only a threat in the modern age because most countries don't pay living wagesChina is anti-slavery and will spread this practice worldwide after they win the trade war

>>724572460The PS5 has been available for 5 years now
>>724576298If the game or platform has a chat, all sorts of themes will be discussed, from friends, to relationship, to sports, banter, politics, favorite food, and so on. Whenever there is a possibility of communication, it becomes a social interaction. So, moderation will obviously become a topic, and from that, comes censorship. There's no running awayAlso, that picture doesn't represent you, because the fact you didn't think of that, proves you're either a total brainlet, or an autistic guy who excels at some topics, but have the social skills and EQ of a retard. And half a retard half a genius is still a full retard, not half a genius

>>724572197Steam is essentially impossible to compete with because it is so consumer friendly. Competition is good, I'm not a steamdrone despite being a 20 year user, but really, Steam is so successful because it prioritizes the user and the user experience above the game developer/publisher etc. It's why Epic store or others can't compete, but I welcome China to try. Perhaps another platform with real traction can shift the PC gaming landscape, and make the end experience better and more equitable for both players and developers.>TLDR I'M STUPID:This is a good thing.

Does this really matter to a private non-traded company? It's not like they have investors breathing down their neck to explain a sudden customer base drop to, plus they have a lot of chinks with significants amount of money invested into their ecosystem thanks to whatever insanity the CS economy is
>>724583401I think it does since they still have to operate on fucking money at the end of the day but clearly they have been doing some sacrifices lately to appease the EU government whetever they like it or not.
>>724572456unironically they could build a gigantic data center and make every game playable on 4k60 with rtx on with just a button press. a cloud gaming platform serving billions of people around the world integrated with game store and most of the stuff is free. all you would need is smart TV with internet connect and a controller. I think microsoft is moving in this direction with gamepass and xcloud but it will take them 15 or more years to scale up, chinks could do it in 5 because they're not bound by electricity.

>>724572197>People thinking a Chinese platform, run by the most censorious government ever will somehow be less censored than SteamThe fuck you retards smoking?
>>724590823eventually their government will crack down and force them back behind the firewalls.
>>724590747Look, even if they are spoilsports you are supposed to refrain from speaking harshly towards staff members. Yell at the staff of pretty much any establishment and you'll get kicked out pretty fast.
>>724572197I hope this encourages China to ban Steam altogether so they fuck off and don't have to see them review bombing random games for having a Taiwan flag or some shit.
>>724590832Nah.Also Russia affects my country much more negatively.
>>724591173bots, shills whose hatred for americans exceeds their rational thinking ability.
>>724591173it's just homoverse shills
>>724591036Around 70% of regular steam users are Chinese people playing PUBG
>>724590823Apparently you can do it with ships dragging their anchors. China did it a few times, maybe Gaben can use his new mega yacht to accidentally sever all of Chinas undersea internet cables.
>>724591338I wanna see the stats, not empty claims.
>>724591338>actually steam was dying before chinks and russians flooded itthis is your entire argument
>Actually your platform wants 600 million impoverished bugmen so don't upset usThis is their argument for Gacha as well, it's just >You have upset the feelings of 1.4 billion chinese
>>724590832russian ideals are aids, alcoholism and warmongering
>>724576978>If they allow Japanese games without censorshiplol
>>724591315God this constant Chink glazing by Euro fags is getting out of annoying...Which country is currently propping up the Russian state with monetary and military aid retard? That's right ChinaIf Russia is negatively affecting your country, then you have china to thank for that
>>724576978>he thinks the CCP won't have more censorship than burgersShill threads have the funniest cope
>>724591571taking out sinophobic propaganda isn't censorship
The only good thing I can say about India is that, unlike Chinamen, I've never seen an indian on steam demanding that every 1-man indie dev MUST include Hindu translation.
>>724591665>sinophobicwumaos using nigger liberal tactics nowchinks are the most racist people on earth
More like GameStomp
>>724591665What's so sinophobic about happy little sunbeams?
>>724591796>GameSlopFTFY
I'm going to redeem this card
>>724572456Get chinese to use their platform instead. China is a nation of incels, 90% of their men are weebs/play video games. If you have access to their market you have hundreds of millions of customers. It's not a huge deal because China is a poor country so the value of each customer's purchasing power isn't that high, but a few hundred million poor customers is still nothing to scoff at.
>>724591665how are skeletons "sinophobic"?
>>724572197Every piece of chink "platform" software I've ever used is unbelievably bad. Their web infrastructure seems like it's stuck in 2006, xiaohongshu loads literally 10x slower than instagram. Their services are all insanely anal about captcha-style verifications too. Like you will be asked to do those "spin the picture until it lines up" or "place the puzzle piece correctly" tests 20 times a day browsing their sites. I get captcha'd on like every 5th post I view on xiaohongshu
>>724572456copy every GOTY and popular indie game, make it appealing to europoors and fat americans
>>724572197I like how every new technology from China has Xi Jinping's face on it
>>724589540Nice fantasy, chink. Game devs have no way of banning you from steam, only their own games forum.
>>724572525nothingthe chinese own 48% of Epic, Unreal Engine maybe even more by now
>>724573158>spend money and resources trying to directly replace a service you don't have direct control over>"doing nothing"
>>724572456A better achievement system, for starters. Steam’s achievement system is a complete mess: developers can throw in pre‑order or time‑limited achievements, multiplayer‑only ones, broken ones that don’t even unlock properly, or spam startup unlocks that ruin your AGCR with no way to fix it. On top of that, there’s basically no real anti‑cheat enforcement.If a new launcher actually regulated achievements so they were fair and meaningful, and added something like Sony’s platinum trophies (a true 100% reward with profile perks or status) that alone would put it ahead of Steam, especially for trophy hunters. Right now, Steam’s achievement scene is pretty underwhelming.
>>724591173China is currently running the biggest bot shill campaign its ever done. Basically all social oriented websites are being flooded by their propaganda bots. If you think its bad here you should see the normalfag hives like reddit every board is pumped to the gills with CHINA NUMBAH 1 shit, specially anything technology related. There was a video going around on a shitload of sites right now being pushed hard by their bots trying to show totally real certainly-not-gymnast Chinese "soldiers" doing some cirque du-soleil shit on bamboo poles among a bunch of Chinese flags arranged like a Nork tier propaganda video and you've got normalfags slurping it up.
I support China, the Chinese Communist Party, and the triumph of communism over the West.
>>724592420They don't call you goy, but they sure as shit call you gweilo. Fucking gweilo.
>>724592046*35%
I hope Brazilians and Russians and Indians make their own clients then so they can stay away from the rest of us
>>724591918They're ugly and disrespectful
>>724589024China's Tiktok and global Tiktok are two different entities, the global Tiktok was sold.

>>724572456If you want to know in a general sense: Steam still flubs a bit as a basic games launcher. When it comes to download controls, the interface is still a bit clunky if you want to quickly access in-depth controls, and it still offers you minimal control and info regarding workshop downloads. The library seems to not use asynchronous image loading with the game icons, so if you have a large number of games, there's a small bit of throttling when it comes to scrolling through a bunch of them or changing views. On Windows, you also have issues like not being able to make multiple storage libraries on the same drive without editing config files manually to add them. There's a lot to be gained in performance as well, ever since Steam switched to Electron, steamwebhelper has been known to eat up more CPU and Memory than it should, even just idling.And beyond that, any launcher could challenge Steam's features as well. The Workshop suffers a lot from things like insufficient tagging, a lack of direct downloads or version history, depreciated dependencies being silently removed from the Required Files section of a download. Steam Remote Play falls behind competitors in the field, like Parsec, especially in its lack of ubiquity. Discussions lack proper replying, and subscribing for notifications both doesn't work very well and any you do get are bogged down by notifications regarding sales and such. If you want to know for this Chinese launcher specifically: being Chinese
Does this mean there will be fewer unreadable moonrunes in my community forums, reviews, and workshop sections?
>>724593450The thing about Steam most people don't appreciate is, it's got an absolute shit load of features you'll probably never even use. They exist for the few people that might need them.It's actually insane, whether you're just a regular user or a developer, Steam has so many niche features most people aren't even aware exist.As an example, I remember I had a whole month without the internet because my ISP fucked up. Went to a friends house, downloaded some games. Steam has a feature where it can package them up, put them on a USB drive and you can go to your computer and install the game and verify you own it from a fucking USB stick.My steam account is almost 20 years old and that is the first and only time I've ever had to use that feature. But it fucking exists if you need it.
>>724593701yeah because the forums will die entirely since steam won't be able to operate without the chinese money
>>724572456Get chinks off Steam and Nintendo and contain those bugs within their own shithole.
>>724572197You'd have to be a real sucker to install that.
>>724593881I wish we could. Indians too.Man the internet is so full of fucking 3rd world shitters treating the internet like they treat their own country. It's fucking annoying.
>>724593802oh shit, will the investors pull out and will the steam stocks go down?
>>724593954You sound angry. Not sure what the fuck your problem is. Maybe it's because you know all your shilling for this chinkersteam wont do shit because no one is going to abandon their entire game library to use some chink shit copy?
>China can't be successful because of censorshipChina proved all of you chuds wrong.
>>724593765NTA but that's software devs trying to justify their existence to the company.
>>724593701>he hasn't learned chinese yet
will they let me own my games unlike steam?
>>724593989Opening the floodgates was a mistake
>>724593802Take me back, Jesus Christ
>>724572456Not being a cuck to collective shout. Fuck Gaben.
>>724572456I don't know, but I'd rather give my money to chinks anyway.
>>724574005Probably means they'll axe the crew that's actually getting old shit re-licensed that's not been available anywhere else, like some of Capcom's PC backlog.
>>724572197Wake me up when we get a global Japanese or Arabian competitor. Those are the only two places I trust to have something uncensored and uninfected.
>>724594103China doesn't buy games tho, they mainly just pay f2p garbage
>>724594168Are you sure you want to do that?
>>724594253This isn't even true, the Chinese are not using Internet.
>>724594259Do you want to buy an extended car warranty? I know a guy...
>>724594368why so angery creetus
>>724594209Depends, can you envision the CCP somehow managing to convince publishers like Capcom, Microsoft and Sony to release their new games without DRM, essentialy making them cracked for piracy day one?
>>724594253This chart is in dire need of an update, because in 2018 it lists India at 36.8% of its population, and you can bet it's now way way worse.
>>724594209piracy willcorpo niggers stores/platforms are license only
>>724572197We all know how this ends dont we.
>>724572197This may actually work if it doesn't have a Mary and the Troon Squad censoring shit.
>>724594419They're thankfully behind the firewall mainly but that doesn't stop them from climbing over it with Taiwanese/HK vpns
>>724593802>this is what wuamos believe
>>724573135Tiktok got amerijewed.
>all the chinks itt sucking off their dogshit country
>>724594103Lets be real here, China is an American project. China didn't so shit, America built China and it might be time for America to unbuild China.
>>724577439topkek
>>724593802>tfw old steam user forums were deleted and gradually forgotten to time.
>>724594253>pictureat least most chinese people don't care about western internet
>>724594741It was time in 2016, but apparently not.
>>724572197If their store offers proper console emulation then I'm all in but we all know the chinese will behave because they need major devs and publishers on their side to be able to compete with steam.
>>724594741>America built Chinamutts are so funny
>>724589540based
>>724572197gaben crashed china's economy and killed many chinese so now it's payback time
>>724595114Where's the lie? American companies made China rich, it became World's primary factory for cheap goods.
>>724592495do noot redeem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>724595114Is he wrong? China's economic growth is overwhelmingly due to American industry moving in and establishing factories. China was an irrelevant backwater until that really started taking off. Plus, the only reason China even exists is because of Americans shitcanning the Japanese.
Why has chink shilling ramped up so much? Do they think they are going to manifest the "chinese century" by spamming? Have they realized that they are only in the beginning of their millenia of humiliation?
>>724572197Based. Now China just needs to ban Steam to force their storefront to grow and Steam can return to the safe haven it once was. The great firewall is growing stronger everyday.
Volvo should not have crashed the skin market.
>>724595438while we're at it america should ban this trash as well alongside tiktok. it's ruining the minds of our youth, y'know.
>>724590757porn is illegal in china
>>724595246china built china you retarded mutt. they build shit and trade that's how they got rich. most of the trade they even do on credit. mutts look so ignorant when the try to claim the US built china.
>>724595289It is insane. Japan simply was too successful so they had to be knocked down to a number 2 position. American companies couldn't handle being outdone. Despite all of the catastrophe Japan has faced economically, they still manage to be rich and powerful due to growth initially kicked off by America. You can see a stark difference in the replacement of China. They've made sure that China stays uninfluential and only serves its purpose. China has been allowed to also make a lot of bad decisions that are pretty much unsalvageable (population crisis, housing bubble, antagonizing others, etc.). China is being set up to be the perfect manufacturing slave. If they ever get too uppity, the US has an easy way to send them to Hell. Xi is very likely a restrictive measure, or maybe even the beginning of the controlled collapse. His policies have been absolutely destructive and terrible for China. I wonder which nation will be attempted to be the replacement when China is shutdown.
>>724595637Without American companies modern China would be India-tier shithole, because they whored themselves out they're where they are.
>>724595739>antagonizing others
>>724595778i'm not gonna try and convince you otherwise since it's obviously futile. just know that you look extremely dumb when you honestly try to claim the US built china. that's a nigger level IQ take.
>>724595985You're denying the obvious, you cannot comprehend how poor chinks were in the 70s and how foreign companies actually saved their ass from being even poorer.
>>724572197Once Steam loses half its revenue, it won’t be able to reject porn games anymore. Woke is dead and gamers have won.
>>724595805China does this all the time. Especially towards the Philippines, Vietnam, and Taiwan. They bully and extract a lot from all of their land neighbors too. The Belt and Road shit failed in part due to how predatory the contracts were. They regularly threaten to do things like cut off water to India. North Korea could effectively be considered a puppet and they are even hostile with them. China regularly pushes resolutions in the UN to attempt attacks on other nations (I think most here would be the most familiar with the numerous failed attempts to censor Japanese media). Chinese nationals regularly get caught trying to poison food supplies and release diseases. They are behind most of the leftist shit western nations have been ravaged by especially hard for the past two decades. They have armies of bots that spam every website trying to stir discourse and redirect blame. The Chinese pushed drugs into our nation thinking they are getting back for opium. China is a country that is overly antagonistic because it is still seething over its past. A lot of this antagonism gets in the way of expanding their influence in power.
>>724595778china is self-sufficient lol sybau
>>724572197>Trying to compete with a platform that does nothingAT LAST, A WORTHY OPPONENT
>>724572780But Valve is based out of Washington State.

>>724590767W-what?
>>724572197Oh, yeah. Sounds great.>brb gonna take my massive steam library and move it on over to chinatown

>>724596889...

>>724596834Anon they censored Genshin Impact, ZZZ and other games
>>724597450>>724597639I don't understand what's wrong with the phrase "sloppy toppy."
>>724572525how are we not sure he won't somehow benefit from this or be a china partner?
>>724597440FDR was a demon. His VP even was a literal card carrying communist.
>>724597937im just fucking with you ..... or am I?
It's GameStop minus the $, because Trump fucked up the dollar.
>>724595186true, this is a retaliation
>>724572456>Take everything steam is doing>just fucking copy it>make it full of spyware, shitty adds, and bad UI>force Chinese people to play it at risk of loss of social credit >it becomes a massive hit.pretty much the same for anything from china
>>724572197gametop?couldn't call it something cool and memorable?
Why india and indonesia couldn't become a manufacturer hub like china despite billion of pops?

>>724598393$top being black
>>724572456If China actually has the will to just undercut Steam and have like a 25% discount on everything coming straight out of the storefront cut with just enough profit to maintain the servers they'll get a huge chunk. Epic and EA and all the rest don't have any interest in running a thin margin storefront, they are all only interested in becoming Steam without losing any of Steam's profit margin. Techbro types absolutely hate the idea of running straightforward commodity businesses.
>>724598770low iq.
>>724572197>Chinese gamers will be FORCED to use it by the state or they get v& and b& irlI'm thinking Big Xi has really knocked it out of the park this time.
>>724599218He's the zookeeper keeping the animals contained. Bless him for managing his bug colony.
>>724598770Because Chinks were the fastest growing population back when western world wanted to unload all their manufacturing to some third world shithole. They probably also wanted China to keep Russia in check like the rest of US' vassal states, which they somehow failed.
>>724572456They'll sell you your copy of the game that you get to keep forever.On steam, you're just buying a license to play the games.
>>724599754how would that even work
>>724572456have the government promote it and ban the competition
>>724599820You buy a game, you install the game, you have the game files + .exeyou can drag the game folder to an external drive, to a different computer etc. and the game still functionsit's how GOG does it with installersthere are some DRM free games on steam that also allow this, most need a crack in order to stop the game requiring steam to even start
>>724577291you know porn is banned in china right?
>>724599041>If China actually has the will to just undercut Steamimpossible. steam will behead anyone who dares undercut them
Speaking of banned porn in chyna, I assume that shitload of chinese translated H mangos/doujins on sadpanda is actually Taiwanese?
>>724572197China is collapsing albeit
>>724572456Not kowtowing to VISA/Mastercard. You'll have to use Alipay or other CCP approved payment processor.
>>724594565Maybe 0.001% of the population dare to do that, and it's even harder these days. If you're a ughyhr Muslim however they are spelled you get death penalty for using a VPN. Rule of thumb: If someone isn't hiding he is posting from inside China it's state propaganda.
>>724601518Probably. They're the only country in Asia which has no censorship laws on porn.
>>724601518Probably or they are making sure to hide well. If you're ambitious you can check the symbols, Taiwan uses traditional language while CCP China uses simplified language.
