I was under the impression that both PS4 and Xbox One are now region free in China, can't you just make a US XBL/PSN account and download any game you want?

"Online capabilities of both consoles have been severely restricted as well, in order to comply with China’s great firewall (and to block sales of unapproved games)."

Wow, that sucks for them. Get the feeling that most people are still buying grey market consoles and games in China then, not much use in buying them through official channels.

I seem to recall hearing that MS had gotten Halo:MCC approved for release in China recently, wonder how they managed to get it approved when most of the other M rated shooters are banned?

PC gaming is pretty big in China from what I can tell. Of course many have to resort to piracy to get the games they want.

I unbanned Tachi considering there are a lot of comments similar to hers on this thread. I just want you guys to be mindful of other people on the site who might take offense to statements that can be interpreted as racist.

Doesn't matter, she's gone and will not be back.

Yeah, she removed her Avatar.  Tamron's talking about it in Tachi's XCX thread.

At least they have Knack.


And at least rebel gamers aren't shot in the nape, quite a big step forward for Chinese despots.

Damn, so we can blame Chinese dictatorship (and its lackeys scouting the web to attack whoever dares criticising it) not only for crappy policies against its own citizens, but also for having made VGC lose one of its best users.
I like China and Chinese people and I'm really sorry they are oppressed by that bunch of sclerotic dickheads and spied on by the sad, lowly serfs of their oppressors.

So this means that Nintendo has oficially just won the console wars there? Without even releasing a console?



I'm now filled with determination.
