IAmBored2: You do realize that it isn't about "backbone" it's an either or. If you want to do business in China you need to follow China's laws which require the government to have access to your systems, for the government to be able to takedown anything they find objectionable... for the government to be in complete control.
After all, Google's Dragonfly project was created because Google would rather have the €$'s with having a major market than not having that market.
You do realize that the PDRC terrorist regime is the lead source of software piracy, and that most developers won't be able to get their games sold in the country anyways, right? That it's responsible for grievous human rights abuses, and the deaths of over 80 million people in the 20th century alone, right?
To be rather blunt, if CD Projekt or it's subsidiaries accede to any demands made by the PDRC terrorist regime, the inevitable outcome for gog.com is every game you want to play being removed from the platform eventually. The entire *Fallout* series is prohibited for sale in mainland. Jade Empire, is forbidden forr sale in the Chinese mainland.
The only chinese who should get a voice about what is sold on the gog.com platform are those able to give their opinion without coercion. So, basically the people of Real China, located on Taiwan island.
Usagi1030: I think you misunderstood me so I'll say this again:
We don't live in China. Why are we also being treated like Chinese citizens when GoG could've just restricted the game in China ONLY?
IAmBored2: I think you didn't read what I said. If you WANT TO DO BUSINESS IN CHINA then if China says to fire that China-phobic person on twitter you NEED TO DO IT. China is not a democracy, get that through your head. China expects people who do business in china to censor their own employees, and if you don't then you aren't allowed to do business there.
We are. Get that through your skull Wumao.
