Not just games, movies too. And anything that gets Tencent money ends up with subtle pro-China propaganda.
they own WeChat too, China's biggest chat app, also used for bill payment and government tracking.
I'm not saying there isn't, but do you have some examples of pro china propaganda in games and movies? I heard something about the live-action mulan movie being filmed in xinyang, but besides that i haven't personally noticed anything.
It's more about the scripts being given a passover of approval from the CCP. Want your movie in China? Usually, there's some adaptation for the region, no big deal. However, I remember articles coming out about how the movie adaptation may not be accepted if the U.S. version doesn't fit the standard, meaning the U.S. version would have changes made at the suggestion of the CCP.
Sorry for the NYT link, but it has some examples
Oh thankyou! Yeah that does make sense. That is pretty messed up.
I haven't played in a few years, have they done any of that in EvE Online?
