Lum_ posted:it actually applies to all online games - Chinese regulators differentiate between games mostly played offline/single player (danji) and online/massively multiplayer (wangluo). The split is mainly to keep esports producers happy (they qualify as danji for ~~reasons~~). The three hour a week ban is for wangluo games which by far are the most popular in the Chinese market. my impression was that there was still basically zero enforcement of these time limits. am i wrong on this?

Very much so, Tencent and other companies use facial recognition to enforce it. https://www.vice.com/en/article/93ynj8/tencent-facial-recognition-honor-of-kings quote:Tencent has been using facial-recognition technology since 2018 to detect underage users. Gamers registered as adults will be asked to have their face scanned if they behave like minors. Lum_ fucked around with this message at 00:12 on Dec 4, 2021 |

Forcing adults to scan their faces if they act like children is the one thing I agree with on those policies

Uh, I've got a Chinese Steam account and the only game I can't get is HoI. Definitely bought CK3 and Imperator with this account. And DLC for EUIV and Stellaris, although I bought those games before migrating the account to China.

do you have an international steam account set in china or an actual account on chinese steam? because the actual official chinese steam has like, 100 games total and none of them are paradox it's really weird because international steam in china can still like, actually pay in chinese currency

Oh that must be it. My account was created in Europe and migrated it to China later. All the prices are in RMB. Still no HoI IV though.

I wonder if it's a difference between "this is explicitly not going to be allowed, don't even show it" and "this wasn't approved so it can't be on the official chinese steam but we'll let it be on the international one anyways"

In addition, it even included China's Taiwan province as the territory of Japan at the beginning of the game.
