They have something similar in the states, there's Roku, Chrome Cast, Amazon Fire TV. loads of solutions. The only difference is in China IP law is fast and loose Read more

I agree, though what's worrisome is the lack of regard to IP. Here's hoping that it's GITV's fault and not Xiaomi's though they should still be responsible since they're promoting it and investing in GITV Read more

Thanks, adding that now. What are your thoughts on the game? Read more

Ah! Adding it. Now. have you played the english version? What do you think of the game?

***actually give me a bit. looking into FunPlus, the company that put out the English one. I don't see any connection to lilith games despite using artwork from the Chinese original on Facebook. Read more

Dota legends came out first. Chinese press have even called out heroe's charge Read more

Why did you stop playing? Read more

One of the things is multiplayer - local servers = local multiplayer. There's also some games that aren't actually on Steam. There's also an issue with steam and Union Pay. some people don't have Visa's.

Also - it's something that people never officially had before. Read more

What you're getting most of the time is the Hong Kong release of a game. The Chinese gray market tends to offer Hong Kong and Japanese releases. That said, it's not a matter of availability of units but rather the legality and formality. Read more

Region locking hasn't exactly been a thing China really pushes. They kind of nudge companies into it on their own, think self censorship. I think they're "irked" because some people were being assholes about it.

China's finding itself in a precarious position with its young people. Some are super western, some are… Read more

A meme within a meme?! Meme-Ception!

Hmmm.. I guess we never published anything? I know for fact that Brian and Fahey talked about Rusty's quite a bit! I haven't played it yet, but I'm waiting for my new bank card to arrive before I do. Read more

Velops is right! Threes is damn good. I play it for hours when I'm at the bank or at the hospital. Like The Walking Dead, Pokemon etc are long session games but Threes is one of those short bursts that turn into hours kind of game, think Bejeweled. It's definitely a must have for a mobile device!

No love for Pokemon?

We use real cash at home T-T. I made out with $500 two years ago. But for all the money I've lost in the years past T-T....

I'm not much of a gambling man, so I only play with family. Read more

Mahjong's actually quite big (well growing) in Europe, the international's this year had a big French delegation. that said, Mahjong does not have an English Translation. understanding the tiles doesn't enhance the game play. Though it would be a cool thing to know. Read more

Hahaha, I know what you mean. That said, China's always had this "We need to approve content" mentality. If you think about it, they don't care what you do with a movie projector so long as the content is fine. Ditto - look at the Apple iPhone example. Read more

China's not as orwellian as most people think. Going back to the iPhone example, if you've got an iPhone with an US account, you can play US iPhone games.

If the spread isn't big, like no one's buying 10,000 copies of GTA from Hong Kong, chances are the govt won't give a crap. Also since gaming consoles are for… Read more

maybe? We'll see. There's a reason why I didn't post a big "PS4 China not locked" story today. I'm with holding till I get one, since this is China and at any point the govt could be all like "Sony lock your shit down" Read more

I'm confused by this thread. Also >_> The PS4 and Xbox One were both assembled in China by parts that were mostly manufactured in China. Read more

me too. Read more
