    If only GOG was this militant when it involved Taiwanese developers (Red Candle Game devs), I would still be using their platform. They haven’t even allowed Nine Sols on it, so I haven’t bothered going back yet or have even recommended them to the degree I usually did over Steam.

    It’s not even that they had to censor themselves, it’s their woeful attempt at an excuse. It’s funny whom they kneel before and whom the are activists against. Were it a China “Many Gamers” matter, do not expect them to have been as willing…

        It has a lot to do with how it would have affected Cyberpunk 2077’s release in China and it’s huge gaming market. I mean, just look at the downvote count in my previous comment, there are a lot of butthurt factory trolls downvoting it from the red stained Lemmy “Marxist Leninist” foundries. China cannot accept any political commentary, specially coming from Taiwan, and the devs got punished for it. The devs capitulated, but China did not care, so why bother?
