And idiots will try and blame steam I bet..

I wonder when Steam will get blocked, after Tencent build a Steam alternative store front. If the most popular games are exclusive to their store (in China, not worldwide), such as Fortnite and LoL, then it would be adopted quickly. In that case, it will be worse than Steam, because not only tags are blocked, but the LGBTQ+ games in its entirety.
I wonder if we'll ever see this stupid persecutions stop in my lifetime. 15 years I thought it was inevitable now im not so sure.
Tell me again how China is some utopia and not a controlling dictatorship just like the rest. :/
Don't count on companies having a backbone, they won't.
They kept the games up, more than many other companies would have done.
At least the games are still for sale, as best I can tell. That means that the messages in the games could still be reaching an audience and the producers are still able to get revenue from them for that market (hopefully to keep making more games).
The alternative is that Steam gets banned in China making it much harder to access this content at all.
Your a dumbass, steam isn't going to change all of China and neither are you. Just because someone won't die on a ideological hill doesn't mean they don't care about such topics and I'm frankly sick of puratin standards.
Can you, maybe, calm the fuck down?
China is improving but they're pretty much a couple of decades behind on lgbt rights. There's a conservative faction in the party that sees lgbt culture as divisive/western decadence and suppresses anything deemed to "promote" it.
There have been recent legal changes giving people more protection though so hopefully things keep improving.
Yeah. Europeans love us faggots. Love us so much they kept us in the camps when they freed everyone else from the Nazis.
heavyhanded, but maybe it will force lbgt creators to incorporate their themes more organically into their art, so that it isn't the primary focus.
More we need to end straight themes in media. Its a menace and disgusting breeders treating humans like pollution instead of precious things to do on purpose. Seriously fucking disgusting, but disgusting shit has a place in media, if its marked out.
what needs to end is low-effort slop designed by committee to pander to a given identity-group. Maybe china is just doing quality control
