Games / china's impact on the future of videogames

china is really big to companies like blizzard and riot games, who coincidentally also own the statistically most played videogames like league of legends
if blizzard responds like this without a single forget given, banning the player and taking all rights, and firing the announcers.
i can imagine a company like Riot doing something very similar, their Chinese player base is way bigger than any other region, plus they are owned by TenCent.
its early and i havent had my coffee but i wanted to talk about this here because if a player decides to speak about hong kong @ the Worlds events happening right now, and not at some Heartstone event no one cares about, i think we will really feel the effect of corporation censorship in a place that actually matters. (as opposed to the gunk posted here crying about corp censorship on YT&Twitter.)

Games / borderlands 3 'released' a few days ago
« on: September 11, 2019, 04:03:41 AM »
this thread is a shoutout to everyone who doesn't give a forget because its on Epic games
we are the real mfs who dont give a stuff about those extra 7 months of waiting for the Steam release
my friend's Epic account got broken into because of their laughable (non-existant) security. This along with the withholding of review keys for specific reviewers AND the lesser known activity with giving Unreal developers extra benefits during game expos and development competitions has gotten me to boycott the forget out of it and its CEO, even if they offer indie companies good deals.
forget epic 😊

Games / chess brothers ♟️
« on: June 02, 2019, 03:17:49 AM »
who play chess?
add me on lichess: haha_ohno
chess has gotten randomly popular with ppl in their twenties, what is up with that? cant go to a bar without ppl there playing chess, people at student associations or otherwise around my age often play already. i meet a lot of ppl with chess apps and theres so many chess streamers now. it makes me regret not giving in to peer pressure sooner so Id be a bit better.
anmyway play me in chess
