@TsFreddie how did the CN community rise in tw?

11:02

dont remember that many ppl played it (edited)

11:02

3years ago

steam

11:03

freeloaders

11:03

children

ah but aint they restricted to play for a few hours?

11:03

like 1-2?

what? no

11:04

It only applies to online games that launched within china.

cuz' I somewhat remember that the gov did something to restric playtime for children

11:04

ahhh okey

Ddnet/teeworlds is not regulated since it is not owned by a local company

but why is it allowed then

But it also means it can be blocked if anyone higher up wants to.

11:05

yea that was my point

11:05

you guys are just in a bubble

Don't pop it plz

11:07

inb4 teeworlds goes viral in china

I remember those china players in planetside have their own client

11:08

when it was still owned by Sony Online Entertaiment (edited)

I think almost every game in china is different. Too bad the gov haven't provide a easier way to publish indie games or even singleplayer games

11:09

All the regulation applies to online entertainment

11:09

And there's almost no way for you to sell a normal videogame in china.

you can't, you need a parent company in china

11:09

that basically owns your game inside china

So we basically only have "free" online games with monetization

ShootXen

you can't, you need a parent company in china

Well a steam of china would be enough

there is already (edited)

I know

but that one is a joke KEKW

It is getting there

11:10

But slowly

compared to what we have but also it not bad that they controll the content at least

11:11

but yea a bit to much^^

11:11

steamgreenlight was just the hell

11:11

only trashgames

11:11

like 98%

ShootXen

but that one is a joke KEKW

Not really, I'm really hoping the day perfect world would handle licensing for indie devs.

11:11

It should be soon

so... how does teeworlds spread in china? through media?

But it is still way too early to tell

to be fair, they will copy steam and make a china version out of it and kick steam out

Stiopa

so... how does teeworlds spread in china? through media?

The global version of Steam

ShootXen

to be fair, they will copy steam and make a china version out of it and kick steam out

Steam china is already run by a Chinese company almost entirely so probably no need. Tencent has their game platform way before steam china so that didn't work well for them

but tencent doesn't have the mass of games as steam does

Stiopa

so... how does teeworlds spread in china? through media?

You can still use global steam just fine, with our the community tab(forums and stuff)

11:13

Only the community part is blocked

guess why -.- (edited)

workshop?

11:14

is workshop fine?

Everything except for the store.

11:14

So workshop is blocked too

it's like epic gamestore

11:14

can't advertise my workshop files for the chinese audience

You can get around the block just like how you would access Google and discord tho

11:14

So it's fine

well, I can, to the group of people that do get around it

Stiopa

can't advertise my workshop files for the chinese audience

Good, they'll eat you alive otherwise

there's been quite a few chinese translation mods on the workshop

discord is completely blocked?

ShootXen

discord is completely blocked?

it's actively being dns polluted

11:17

You'll need to be lucky or in the right place for it to have a stable connection

is it the same with any other "messenger"? (edited)

probably

11:19

Whatsapp, telegram, messangers and the global version of skype are definitely blocked.

11:19

Microsoft team and zoom too probably

that sucks

must be kinda boring to have most of the "cool" stuff blocked

11:21

if you know what is outside

can I be pro china for a second.

be it

I think if they only want to hide stuff, they'd probably better off stop allowing students to study abroad

to be fair the gov can't stop anything and there is also a reason behind it still allowing students to go abroad

To be fair there are plenty of things they want to hide for sure. But I still don't think the blocking is only for that (edited)

the blocking is to reduce the outside influence

11:24

if you look at US elections

11:24

how many other countries played a role in it (edited)

11:24

as a example

Weirdly enough I'm fine with only "know how" people accessing the worldwideweb

11:26

but each to their own, know how people can be plenty stupid too

those ones are everywhere

11:27

when will you go abroad again @TsFreddie?

idk

11:28

if I can't feed myself when I'm 30. I might try to get a PhD in Australia or something maybe. I really don't know.

11:29

Plus living in china is much cheaper so... I don't think I have any good incentive to just go abroad for living

11:29

I mean more like vacation (edited)

Oh

11:30

But I still don't know

11:30

Maybe I'll go see Japan at some point

I see that the chinese community is trying to spread their influence, by releasing mods only in chinese language https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2494666673
