The game has just been released on the PC so it’s time now to benchmark it and see how it performs on the PC platform."
Playasia has a number of physical games on sale this week.
Cavia, Feelplus, and Artoon members are now part of Marvelous’ First Studio and worked on Monster Hunter Stories, Daemon X Machina, and God Eater 3.
Tencent will own 20% of the game studio behind God Eater 3, Daemon X Machina, Story of Seasons (formerly Harvest Moon), and Senran Kagura.
Chinese censorship laws forbid a great deal of content and subject matter that western and Japanese markets are accustomed to.
No amount of money is worth selling out to the Chinese in an industry where they censor things so badly that there is only like 10 games available on the Chinese Playstation store.
That reminds me of the time they banned Devotion from Steam just for a winnie the pooh easter egg.
It turns out the world's most powerful Communist autocrat is just a snowflake.
Tencent owns so much of the industry now, and they don't censor games outside of China beyond what is done because of these crazy standards which localization companies, or console makers, or publishers themselves would do otherwise.
It's also not like Marvelous and Xseed haven't been criticized heavily for censoring their games outside Japan for quite some time now anyways.
What you said amounts to one of those crazy women trying to marry a serial killer behind bars, "I know he hurt other women, but he hasn't hurt me so I love him".
And how has Tencent hurt you, or what have they done that has you concerned?
Seems that might be worth mentioning, because otherwise, what you said originally amounts to, "I have no reason to hate them except they're Chinese, and I'm irrational." I mean, unless you are talking about that extremely exaggerated example you gave, which isn't true, and the censorship has more to do with local requirements more than it does Tencent doing it.
I know there are things out there you could cite, because I'm well aware of who Tencent is, and what they've done, but most of that is within China itself.
let me ask you this. Would you support Microsoft or Sony if they had ties to the kkk? Would you support Nintendo if they had ties to Isis? Would you support Rockstar if it had ties to Scientology?
Probably not, same goes for a company owned by the Chinese government. Have nothing against Chinese people, but their government and by extension the companies within its borders, yeah.
@yellowgerbil
lol....Microsoft and Sony already have a ton of ties to the Chinese government.
Probably not, but realistically, I'm sure you can find investors in any major company that have ties to some screwed up organization. Tencent is a privately held company in China. They tow the communist china line because they have to, and may have a vested interest in doing so. I dunno.
But, my philosophical ideals against blatant hatred or offensive groups is a lot different than my views on companies that operate within political regimes that I dont agree with.
I dont have anything against the companies within china. If you can show something that supports that they are directly linked to the chinese government, either completely controlled by, or they control the government, then by all means, I'm willing to hear it.
At this point, the entire gaming industry is just gonna be a battle of Tencent and NetEase on "who can own the most studios".
