Look inside yourself, before you point out others faults. |
SORRY TO CUT AND PAST. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY MMORPG DID NOT COVER THIS NEWS IN A HEADLINE? "China has banned foreign investment in its online gaming industry in a tightening of its censorship regime and an effort to protect local gaming companies. Foreigners would be banned from operating online gaming within China through wholly foreign-owned investments, joint ventures or any other forms of co-operation with local companies, the country’s publishing regulator said." IS IT TRUE? IS IT NEWS? ISN'T THIS SITE ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE MMO WORLD? AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY IT DIDN'T MAKE NEWS ON THIS SITE? AND IF IT DID, CAN SOMEONE SHOW ME WHERE? …..it’s a guideline, not a rule, as players we must remember: “It’s a Game”. |

WOW- China cares about not losing its Industry to non Nationals- Wish the USA had the same Philosophy and care about its nationalism.

This is not about what China is doing, but what MMORPG isn't doing! …..it’s a guideline, not a rule, as players we must remember: “It’s a Game”. |

I think it still remains to be seen how this will affect the MMO industry as a whole. They may want to gather more facts before posting a news article about it.

Considering this is the precedent they have allways used, why would they stop now. Here is how news is aquired by MMORPG.com.

Because journalism for our genre has yet to evolve beyond covering releases, gameplay discussions, reviews and "insider" looks. Take sports as an example, in countries with a well developed football press (Argentina) analysis becomes not only very elaborate and technical but all aspects of the game are discussed and covered. Violence in stadiums, corruption amongst FAs, player transfers, social and cultural aspects of the game, etc. Countries with poorly developed media (Honduras) will only focus on cheerleading their teams and hyping readers/viewers about medocre games. MMO coverage is geared towards providing consumers with whatever info game companies decide to release and doing a bit of critique. We even get a guy on this site (good writer tho) doing lists of what games would be cool to have or what are the all time favorites... It really is our fault for not being discriminating about the quality the of journalism we get... Just to make things clear... |

Think about it. How does this affect anything. What Chinese MMO is popular? It pretty clearly states that a foreign company can not have it's primary base of operations in China. Blizzard is not affected. Also I might add, this is a fan site, albeit the best, and not a hard core news site. Having been a journalist for 20 years and a gamer for longer, I know that working with a limited unpaid staff you are bound to miss some stuff.
And quite honestly, this is not a big story just another Chinese attempt to pretend they are Socialist when indeed they are the most virulently Capitalist nation on earth. |

Again, Stay with me if you do not understand the queston. This Topic is not about China. This Topic is about why MMORPG did not report it/ make a topic / new healine about it. …..it’s a guideline, not a rule, as players we must remember: “It’s a Game”. |
