![]() But they are, nevertheless, grateful for their support.īUT! According to stats, which is always useful to utilize in situations like this, there is no traffic whatsoever coming from Mainland China. The devs went on to state that it is unclear specifically how many Chinese players there are, where they originate from, and subsequently, how much spent is from Chinese players. Then comes the comment made pertaining to Chinese players and how little impact they have on the game. It’s better to be able to play the game than not to be able to, right? Doing it this way will provide them the lowest chance of significant legal repercussions. Then they went on to elaborate on why they opted to provide localization in the way they have: This game features a type of content that is illegal in Mainland China.Īnd as such, they’ve opted to localize the game in a way that they believe will work the best for them and their game. The community post opens by claiming that Chinese players are “ very, very important for us. “ go check the data,how much percent of donation and pre-order are contributed by chinese?then you wont talk like this(also,they know in which market sells better ,more than you do,lol)“ ![]() But then a comment was made… This comment was so unprofessional, that they addressed it in their official Steam community post: It’s like telling a child you’re not going to the candy store. Imagine telling a group of angry gamers that they’re not getting what they want. The developers responded to this by stating that since Subverse is against the law in China, they are not interested in translating it into simplified Chinese, which most players were asking for, rather, traditional Chinese, as it’s the safest route for them to take. But not one that warrants fulfilling, right? We download and play them with no knowledge of what’s going on half the time.Ĭhinese players petitioned the developers to localize the game into their native language for them. ![]() So kinda what we do with Eastern MMOs and Eastern games. This means Chinese players are required to purchase the international version of the game, which has no support for their language. However, according to the developers, the game goes against Chinese law, thus is actually restricted from being listed locally. You can, theoretically, purchase Subverse from within mainland China.
