China.
All this talk of games being censored for progressive reasons, it’s all a smokescreen.
They have a stranglehold on the industry.

They also removed blood
Looks like our red boi wasn't enough to stop them

>still supporting bl***ard in the current year

USA nuked the wrong asians. Fix it asap amerifriends.

Yep. Just gonna repost this:
Developers have two options: make a new client and update it based on Chinese guidelines, or bend-over and sacrifice artistic integrity because they want Chinamen dosh.
Developers usually put out a separate version that doesn't make China butthurt.
Dota 2 has a Low Violence mode that removes all blood and skulls. There's also the Perfect World client for Dota 2, which does this and more.
Rainbow 6 Siege almost had blood splatter, slot machines, and florescent lights of sexy women removed to appease China, but the community threw a shitfit; Ubisoft backed off and said they would make a different version of R6S for China.
But Blizzard? Nah, fuck it, can't make a separate version of the game.

Are you retarded? China is probably the richest country on the planet if we seriously calculated all their foreign assets, and it undoubtedly has people in the party richer even that Bezos that hide their fortunes. Don't mistake wealth inequality for poverty, you fucking imbecile. Next you'll be telling me Denmark is richer than America.

Who the fuck still plays this shit than streamers to cash in on zoom bucks?

TIANANMEN SQUARE 1989

hasn´t revenue for hearthstone crashed hard over the year?

I hope you're not shitting on felstalkers, the most based demon

It was never explained but the most accepted theory is that blizz was pissed and Wk looked too similar to the one in Diablo

Hots was actually a good game and the devs that worked on it cared

>China is probably the richest country on the planet if we seriously calculated all their foreign assets, and it undoubtedly has people in the party richer even that Bezos that hide their fortunes.
On a per capita basis it's poor as shit, and yes it matters for the government because it means either being unable to afford large projects or having everything being jank that breaks and falls over in a few years.
>Next you'll be telling me Denmark is richer than America.
Denmark is one of the few European countries with and income level that can match the US.

This @468915814 retard defending China isn't me btw

ah ty
this
they're more thematically correct for the discard mechanic anyway

Why would you censor the game in all regions for china's sake instead of simply censoring the chinese release?

>shadow demon is wearing panties over his face
>doom is now bane

Maybe american hearthstone tournaments get quite a lot of chinese viewers or some shit

The actual "skull" ornament on it was removed. No clue.

This.
Because then the chinks are going to use their VPNs to play the illegal version and the bugmen will blame Blizzard for making a different game.

wait, is that a new card copypasting an old one stats or are they replacing the succubus?

replacing it

China is having some big moralistic push against sexiness, imagining that it's corrupting people or whatever. Basically, it's that sexy things excite people, and the last time people in China got excited, they had a revolution.

Which is completely irrelevant, since the distribution of wealth is arbitrary and can be changed at any moment. China is not a "poor" country, by any means, so shut the fuck up. What it needs is a revolution that will destroy the CCP once and for all. The only country that's poor is one that has no resources, no infrastructure, absolutely nothing, like some African countries.

It costs to have multiple versions.
Whenever you want to change something, you need to do it twice, test it twice and release it twice. You could argue that if you plan well your code you only need to test a single module, but everyone knows that hearthstone is spaghetti code and it's a miracle that it does not just explode.

Destroy capitalism so that the priority of Western companies isn't to destroy the integrity of their product and satisfaction of their local customers for the sake of a market an ocean away made of insectoids. There is literally no winning while they have a 1+ billion market to fight for, trained to be drones for mobile gacha and other low-effort games.

it's a bit of a reach but maybe it's to lower rapes and shit, cuz the male population of china is so big compared to female population that a lot of them buy mail-order brides

it's all just communism user

Because they don't want to spend the time (which equals money) on curating two different client versions. This was explained by them years ago when they removed Tychus's cigar from Heroes of The Storm.

>Which is completely irrelevant
Higher GDP per capita also means more money available for the government retard.

I don't think their endgame is social equality, user.

Then Japan would be today's China. Just think about it.

Are you... even questioning this? SJWs were a godsend to corporations. Now if you don't like a product they can immediately call you a racist, homophobe, whatever.
Next level of redpill is realizing the CIA is behind SJW shit in an effort to get the population to argue about dumb shit and cancel out any kind of real social progress towards redistribution and ending monopolies.
SJWs are literally some mentally-ill people on Twitter. Nobody would give a FUCK about them if there weren't a corporate interest in doing so.

>misstress of pain is now yassssqueennnnn of pain

They wouldn't. The problem with China is they have way too many fucking "people", which for corporations means many "potential customers/clients". Since corporations, by definition, are only interested in making as much money as possible, they bend over for the largest market.
At this point it would unironically be best for the government to go full commie and outright prohibit american based companies to sell things to "potential geopolitical enemies", i.e. fucking chinks.

If we want to cross the nude line there are shitton of eroge with card game as main mechanic

incels don't really complain about that stuff, it's because of the chinks

Yea but its Hearthstone, the Heartstone. Not some made up mumble jumble.

>At this point it would unironically be best for the government to go full commie and outright prohibit american based companies to sell things to "potential geopolitical enemies", i.e. fucking chinks.
They won't, because they have a vested interest in American companies and the value of the dollar. If America fails and the dollar goes down, so does China. And if you think that China doesn't control companies like Google and Amazon already with their money, you haven't been paying attention.

> Remove things to wack it to at home
> To lower the incentive to rape

I dunno chief.

Doesn't complying with these laws validate them in some way? That indicates that whatever laws they put in place, people will adapt and comply, therefore normalizing and accepting censorship, therefore ensuring more censorship happens in the future. Imagine if no developer ever complied with this horseshit. Maybe then people would be outraged enough to get involved and change their country's laws. Then developers wouldn't have to worry about making alternative versions of games, or wondering if they can sell a game in a particular country.

all communist countries end up turnining into dicatorships where only a handful of people hold all the power while 99% of the population are more or less slaves which can be killed and exploited

seething commies

>why they change it?
Tienanmen square massacre.

I think it's worse than that. I think companies and governments benefit from having people like that and actively encourage social change towards the normalization of being a mindless faggot who bashes capitalism and collectivism while buying every new Apple product, using social media and engaging in identity politics on behalf of marginalized groups.

Lots of bilzzard shills here deflecting to muh china when Blizzard is still the one responsible on how to handle their game against Chinese regulations. Instead of putting in some effort to make a localized Chinese-friendly version they shoved the censor to the worldwide audience and called it a day. This is despite HS already having a server system where restrictions can be easily limited to only the server where the chinese play.

What fucking tools.

yeah but when conservatives wanted to censor games devs and the media opposed it.
now that lefties want to censor games devs and the media celebrate it since it is done in the name of "social justice"

hearthstone is trying to get rid of it's 'T" rating

>Several cards depict images of violence: characters using blades to stab/slash each other; characters impaled by arrows/blades. Some of these battle images depict drips or splashes of blood. A handful of cards depict female creatures in revealing outfits (e.g., large amounts of exposed cleavage).

I guess they think being rated "E" will stop them from hemorrhaging players

Doesnt make sense. Why change the english text if its the chinese language only need to be change?

cope, tranny

Yep. We've come full-circle.

Nigger, you're talking about a country where the populace sent death threats to a streamer and where she had to quit streaming forever because she sang the anthem in a way they found was 'comical'. It wasn't even meant to be offensive, she was just doing it casually for fun. This is the level of insanity in China. And if you think the Chinese are somehow against the government you would be DEAD WRONG.
Read a book, faggot.

Lifestealer and Clinkz both look cooler as well as Vladimirs offering

they actually believe a single kid on this planet got prevented to play heartstone because of its rating? Jesus fuck, and we though "don't you have phones" was just a blunder.

Obviously, everything is a product under capitalism, including anti-capitalist rhetoric. It's why you see people going around wearing Che Guevara shirts.
>I'm just pretending to be retarded
Uh huh.

>And if you think the Chinese are somehow against the government you would be DEAD WRONG.
I somehow doubt that. I can't imagine the Chinese would be thrilled about not getting to play a game they like because the government had to protect them from the tits and blood any more than anyone else. It's probably a vocal minority of SJWs who actually support these policies, just like everywhere else in the world.

b/c they don't want two separate iterations of Hearthstone, they want one, for everyone.

maybe they cared but communist exp and pure team based moba with barely any 1v1 outplay potential is aids to play

Being threatened if you don't think a certain way doesn't mean you actually think it. It may appear that a lot of them support censorship or something, but that's because the people who favor censorship are free to vocalize their opinions. To be fair, all I know about China is what I see on ADV China on youtube. (I knew about the girl who sang the anthem you referenced earlier.) Based on the impression I get from his channel, it seems that only a small vocal minority is actually encouraging this shit. I mean who would actually be stupid enough to argue against their own rights? The Chinese even mock white liberal cux, calling them bugmen. I think that says a lot about what they truly think.

Chinese Lifestealer and Clinkz look rad as fuck tho.

You have it backwards, the SJWs here fall into one of two categories: chink agents and retards that fell for the chink agents shit

This can't possibly be correct; I see you guys asserting this all the time but in truth I'm from Asia and all the East Asian nations love making pure fucking smut. Japan, South Korea, China all churn out bikini armor women without really flinching.

doesn't this literally apply to every single country on this world?

this is what happens when you pursue lu bu

It's because you couldn't use skins on the Chinese censored version. He was coated head to toe in black armor and it clipped with everything.

I mean, I backed up my claim there. The rest of Asia doesn't "bow to China" when it comes to making tiddy art, and even China itself produces a whole gotta tiddy art. If you wanna ignore it and continue to blame another country for your own country's cuckoldry, that's your own fault. Don't put the blame on others, you are just a fucking dumb bag of shit.
