https://www.videogamer.com/news/china-to-ban-online-games-because-they-are-an-authority-vacuum

The Chinese Communist Party will be introducing new laws that ban online gaming in order to curtail contact with individuals outside of the communist regime, according to a new report

This revelation comes only days after Animal Crossing: New Horizons was removed from sale in the country. Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong used the game to share a screenshot of his virtual protests, stating Free Hong Kong and criticising Xi Jinping, the President of the People's Republic of China. Other Chinese players had created scenes in the social sim game that lambasted the regimes response to the coronavirus, and as such, the game is now no longer available to purchase.

Now, the government has been alerted to an authority vacuum in online multiplayer games. The Chinese Communist Party is said to be unhappy that Chinese players are able to engage in unregulated spaces for socialisation in these games. Consequently, new laws are being created to expand the scope of online censorship in video games, and prevent players from interacting with gamers in the rest of the world.

In addition, online single-player games will be screened, as well as these online multiplayer games. An incoming law will require players to use their legal name rather than a username in the game, and it will also cover the exclusion of zombies and plagues, map editing, role playing, as well as organising a union from interactive experiences. Other new laws are not directly related to censorship, such as an online gaming curfew for children and young people, and a maximum amount of money people are permitted to spend on games to ameliorate internet addiction.


They're targeting gamers. It never ends well when gamers are targeted.

The saddest is that the country is basically untouchable, unless something breaks from within.

Oh don't worry, the gold farmers will continue to scam people. China loves the money the idiots pony up for their ingame boosts. They won't turn down free money like that anytime soon.

Those games will still be sold, just a special Chinese version locked to internal servers and with all in game communication monitored.

Xi Jinping is the most evil man on the planet and I hope the Coronavirus or one of his own people whom he abuses, violates and suppresses their basic fundamental rights on a daily basis kills him.

This is just one of the nearly infinite fundamentally demeaning and wrong policies that range from immoral to straight up crimes against humanity.

The man is as bad as Hitler. If he could get away with it he would(honestly kinda already is) commit genocide among several groups in his country.

Either way most people living in a first world country can literally criticize their rulers, so it's kind of only relevant if you live in a totalitarian state, which ironically that neo-nazi would want.

Despite who said it, doesnt mean there isnt some inkling of truth behind it. You can apply it to a lot of situations

If you are an employee, can you really shit talk your boss and expect there not to be any ramifications if he gets wind of it.

Do you really think you can criticize Kim Jong Un publicly if you live in north korea.

How about all those people in China who criticized the CCP on the handling of coronavirus and many other things that all mysteriously disappeared.

In sports when a player excessively mouths off at refs over a call they eventually get kicked out the game.

ffs even on gamefaqs you cant call out and criticize specific mods without it getting deleted.

What do they all have in common? Oh right, they are all in positions to rule over your and decide your fate so you cant say shit about them. So yeah can you honestly say with a straight face that there is absolutely no truth behind it?

The context of that quote changes significantly when you realize why it was being said

The quote itself has some truth behind it. Just because some radical assclown used and abused the quote(he is not the first or last person to say that) doesnt mean there is no truth to it.

Also why dont you provide link or at least say who this Neo Nazi is?

In 2008, Strom pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography and was sentenced to 23 months in prison, of which he served four months.
How did he only serve 4 months?

Something like this was bound to happen eventually. I'm surprised it took them so long to act after that one Minecraft server created a digital library of banned books so that Chinese players could read up on what was being hidden from them.
