Considering I played that, and don't remember anything about it, including the boobs, I'd say you're right.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

I have an enormous PS3 backlog - to the extent that I've come to terms with the idea of never buying another console - and I'm actually really looking forward to Remember Me. I'd heard it was actually quite good. :shrug:

I just think DONTNOD are at their best when they don't try to make a gameplay-focused game like Remember Me or Vampyr. Life is Strange is an excellent series, so if they just become the next Telltale they'll be fine.

...until they go bankrupt in a few years.

Remember Me doesn't have great gameplay, but its art direction and presentation are superlative and it's worth a measly few bucks on sale for that imo

Okay they finally just removed the steam page. Kind of loving crazy how despite several articles being written about the game and an EA employee saying they contacted Valve about the game, they didn't get around to removing the page until just now.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, there's a copypaste that got popular because of a Reddit post about how Japanese people had this long list of keywords they would use in replies to Chinese phishing emails. From what I understand, it's not that they're hoping the government sees it, it will just automatically lock them out of the internet for a certain amount of time or something, possibly repercussions extending from there like you said but apparently the effect is instant. I know people who, with mixed results, have placed this in the chat of 1v1 games against players with Chinese steam names and they'd get booted from the game instantly.

So in the article they had a copy of the Steam page for the game, which was just a copy/paste of Battlefield 1942. Once the article came out, everything was replaced with an apology (see image above, the IM SORRY was the game icon) apologizing for plagiarizing everything "as a joke"

I know some Japanese posted the original form of that myth as a joke, poking fun at Chinese censorship. Then a ton of people online started spamming it as the hot new meme.
But I haven't seen any actual evidence that it leads to people getting disconnected or having their internet shut off.

I’m getting pumped to see how many folks do palette swaps on old games and upload them to Steam, like a new era of the knock-off NES games that came on those magazine-ad 400-in-1 game consoles.

In the meantime, check out my new games, Prairie Fight 1943 and Victoria Cross 2! Only $9.99 each!

The game in question war Artifact, for the record. Toward the end of the game's lifespan (two weeks after release) it was pretty much 50/50 on queuing into a Chinese player, and you also had to pay money to play Keeper Drafts, so those things combined made me believe the things I was hearing.

Also Google translating insults the Chinese players would say into English was very great

There's a ton of these kinds of hack 'studios' (sometimes just one or two guys making GBS threads things out alone) out there, Jimquisition has played more of this poo poo than I ever care to even look at, so that I don't have to. Although every now and then...he does also stumble upon a gem like this. (bit NWS)

I don't like Azur Lane and I haven't even tried Kancolle, but anthropomorphizing historical battleships isn't bad as a concept, and given nautical tradition it kinda makes sense to have all of them be female. Yes, the fanservice can be a bit much, but that doesn't mean the fundamental premise is worthless.

Wait, the history-based World of Warships game turns naval ships into anime boobs now? And it's selling like mad? Remind me of this next time grognards start whining uncontrollably about 'mah realism' when a minority/female character gets added to their military game.

They are. Azure Lane gets to waifu-ize the unique boats from World of Warships, Warships gets art.

If you think people need a solid historical reason to make stuff into anime girls you haven't been paying attention

"The fanservice can be a bit much"? What exactly else is there other than fanservice?

If it was just anthropomorphizing vessels, ok, I get behind that, there's some interesting things you could do with it narratively, I guess. This is not that, it's clearly about putting boobs on boats.

I mean, sure, enjoy whatever you want. It's still dumb as hell and pretty embarrassing.

Pretty sure that game has had other vaguely-boat-related-anime-girl tie-in events before. They even got posted in this thread!
The tie-in stuff was recolors / alternate skins of existing boats plus some anime girl announcers you could equip.
