Congratulations on the payday to you guys in GGG. It's well deserved.
Congratulations and I'm happy you guys are able to operate independently. Always thrilled you keep the fans updated with news.
I'll stop supporting too.
Tencent obviously didn’t kill Leauge of Legends as that game is still very popular. The viewership on Twitch proves that
I am very sorry to say this but i will not buy any more packs or points.. disappointed on ggg.
Trust your mind and strengthen your abilities!
edit: don't know how to feel about this, time will tell.

Its about a company who tries to make social scores mainstreamable. I think this will have an Impact and Tencent will even skyrocket more once things like that, is able to be exportet into other countries.

Wikiquote:

The Social Credit System (社会信用体系 shèhuì xìnyòng tǐxì) is a proposed Chinese government initiative for developing a national reputation system.[1][2][3] It has been reported to be intended to assign a "social credit" rating to every citizen based on government data regarding their economic and social status.[4][3][5][6][7] It works as a mass surveillance tool and uses big data analysis technology.[8] In addition, it is also meant to rate businesses operating on the Chinese market.[9]

Tencent and one or 2 other companies work very tight together Chinese Gov.
They want to implement those kind of things on all sorts of Apps including games.


The biggest concern I have is, that "what is wrong and what is right".
They are the ones, diciding what is good and what is wrong and not your understanding of ethics and morals.


I appreciate the information because I hadnt heard anything about this. Obviously, I know nothing about this and need to dig in more, but part of me just says... who cares? I am on older gamer and definitely dont care what my gaming socail rank is. If you really dont want this to work... dont validate the ranking system. Its obtuse and dumb (based on the paragraph above) and if no one cares about it... it will have no real impact. I am probably just too old to understand why this is such a big deal.

Ah i can understand how that could be misunderstood , it's not gaming social rank , its the social rank of the Whole of the chinese People, which decides if they get a loan , a job , an education or even let in to certain Places. Black Mirror did an episode a few years ago before this was a thing, i think the episode is called nosedive.[/quote]

They already ...

"Tencent now has a social credit score system for gamers in China that play Tencent published games."

108 pages in 24 hours! Wow I can't keep up trying to read it all. I skipped 40 pages to post this.

I hope that Chris digests what has been said and felt and replies here. I'm looking forward to Incursion.
