The global version of Steam has been blocked in China - A Christmas gift from Xi

[Honored guest]

but how else do you explain China shutting down everything except venues where you go to get laid?

incompetence, the one child policy + higher value of male children has resulted in a demographic nightmare where that are just not enough women, and the CCP is flailing around thinking that if they get rid of every form of escapism then Chinese men will just materialize women to fuck.

What they're not telling you is that most chinese men willingly take jobs in Africa just because women are available and they're also more free from their government due to proximity. So African/Chinese interracially mixing are becoming a significant demographic. It undermines their whole Han superiority thing which is why those deathcamps even exist in the first place.

Give it a few years and we'll see the "Le 56% Han face" spread everywhere

Well they're not wrong, women will materialize, they'll materialize out of men which is why they got rid of stuff that depicted effeminate males.

China is Prison Gay but as a whole country.

Who would have thought that cultivating a country of incels might not be such a smart long-term strategy.

You shouldn’t be using Steam anyway, it is CIA spyware.

 

[Synthetic Smug]

Even their totalitarianism has Chinese quality control.

But Gabe sells me infinite games I'll never get around to playing. Surely that wouldn't be a malicious company that wants only my money.

 

[LieLieFyre]

Good they should be using the CCP approved gaming platform Epic Store anyway.

Gabe helped build spying software for the US government during his tenure at Microsoft. He is not to be trusted.
Use GOG instead.

 

[Moths]

Does this mean chink developed games wont come out on steam now? Fucken rip

Looks like taiwan was numbah 1 after all

 

[Witthel]

So does this mean that Devotion can go back up on Steam without getting review-bombed by asshurt chinks?

GOG cucked to china when they removed that (taiwanese) Devotion horror game.

 

[Daddy's Little Kitten]

Ching chong ching gamers!

 

[milk]

In Japan, many online games like DoTA were filled with Chinese players, because our PC game playerbase is weaker. They come here for easy wins and ranks. Hopefully this means we can play with our own kind again.

That’s a good thing.

 

[Niggernerd]

So there will be about 100x less cheating in the online games I play?

Russians and Brazilians will work extra hard to make up for the lack of chinks.

When questioned for comment, the PRC government's reply was:

 

[Secret Asshole]

I love when giant corporations get kicked in the balls like that.
All these Western companies that have been pandering to China for so long and abandoning the West, are now being banned from China one by one and losing billions.
It's only a matter of time before Disney and NBA get banned as well and I can't wait.

Honestly, it was an inevitability as soon as Xi started consolidating power. He wants an absolute stranglehold on the population and is basically trying to put the genie of the West back in the bottle before it completely corrupts China. He's attempting to cut off all access to any other entertainment, culture and basically anything that isn't strictly controlled by him. He's attempting to hermit-state up China, but the shit is too far out of the bottle to do so. I mean, its only a matter of time before every piece of western entertainment is cut out or made unprofitable. He's seriously doing a slow-boil cultural revolution.

Disney and NBA are on the chopping block, make no mistake. Xi is just trying to build up Chinese entertainment which is why you heard so much about that Chinese war drama during Korea making so much money. He's basically trying to make Disney as unprofitable as profitable before he cuts them out of the country. Which is a lot more palatable than just axing them off the bat.

The regional client only had a little over 60 games IIRC.

China is going to pull more shit in the future, the real kicker is going to be when they decide to call those Tencent dealings home to roost. Companies that made deals with tencent will be in for a bad time because the logic is the CCP can force international companies apply China's standards. So if China wants a backdoor installed on every piece of hardware or software so the CCP can look at North American's personal info, they think a company will kneel to them because they rely on China to a large extent due to tencent's parasitic control.

Venezuela tried a similar thing with banks, oil, and investment firms. They thought they were too valuable to ever be crossed.

I mean, the Chinese market is a lot bigger than Venezuela. I mean, we're talking about a world superpower vs. a regional superpower.

It could go in the other wrong way, as in pandering even harder to the Woke crowd, and forcing down even more Black Transgender Muslim Non-Binary "insert 700+ genders here" Disabled BLM Antifa ACAB characters down people's throats, or even worse, changing even more existing characters to such.

I hope it goes the opposite was to chase ESG scores and companies continue chasing the ESG scores and continually lose billions and billions until they get it through their thick fucking skulls that this shit doesn't make any money.

Well then, if he fucks up like you're saying he will, he will be the scapegoat that will be crucified to appease the angry masses.

Xi did what Putin basically did in Russia. He's consolidated power around himself and made himself a cult of personality. The CCP has basically been purged of anyone who fucks with him. So its essentially a fascistic state and is basically communist in name only. Just like Russia is a democracy in name only.
