China is actually not offended by skeletons or depictions of death, you know. If anything that’s just a way to hold more power over foreign media.
They almost never eat dog either, outside of a festival that fewer and fewer people are participating in. The much bigger problem is their exploitation of critically endangered wild species like pangolin, yellow-breasted bunting, sharks, turtles, bactrian camels, pheasants, etc.

I have never “decided” what was in games or movies. I only decide which games and movies I want to play or see.
If no one makes games or movies that appeal to me, I’ll do something else with my time. Which, actually, is what I do most of the time anyway.

Not worried, due to recent events…
I live in Nebraska, in the whole state there are just over 1 million people; Can’t touch this!
This thread is 0% xenophobic, jingoistic, or weird, so that’s good.
i will just play retro snes rpgs i don’t care about this new crap anymore
Does it matter? Still most of the wow players are from american, european or oceania regions. If they leave, wow won’t survive.
Chinese company will be very happy as long as wow can rake in money.
Joker was the best selling R rated movie of all time and did not release in China.
If thousands of people are dying and the overriding concern is “they ain’t buying my stuff” then I have some really bad news about your priorities.

I don’t think they particularly care one way or another. They want the largest share they can get and it’s not like the Chinese gamer is much different from the American gamer.
WoW has a mudwhimping problem at the moment though, for sure. That is actually limiting their earning potential. Developers insisting we play the game their way is absurd and a good way to lose dollars both in US and China.
This is silly. Dollars spent is dollars spent. I’m sure ActiBlizz wants all the dollars in the world.
The problem is the direction of their design and the way they are spending money isn’t going to make many people happy regardless of what country you play from.
Not for long.
Right, but this viral outbreak is turing into a global economic disaster. Movie theaters are closed in China right now, and we have no idea when they will be open again. Companies like Apple have had their production grind to a halt as factories close. Any company that put their eggs in the Chinese basket is regretting that decision right now. They have had zero regulation in terms of health, safety, or environmental damage for so long that something like this happening was almost inevitable. I would be surprised if a lot of those companies didn’t start being a lot more wary about investing in the Chinese after this.
Well thousands of people haven’t died yet, at least according to the Chinese government (however much you trust them). The latest figure is 492 fatalities. That said, this thread was about business interests and how China is influencing American products, not about virtue signaling how upset we are at the loss of life.
I, too, am an expert on global economics with a focus on china.

only because it’s a few steps ahead of the chinese asset rips that they’d normally get.
No offense OP but you’re full of Bull if you think we don’t have an effect on WoW, but yes i quit posts don’t affect much other than public opinion. Blame the devs for that, they’ve become too distanced from the player assuming what they want instead of listening. Personally I’ve become a huge supporter of indie developers over the years so when I decide Blizzard is releasing subpar content I’m good to go. Really the main hook that keeps me coming back is friends and casual content, once those dry up or move on IDK if the Chinese want wow or not.
keep your coronavirus away!
