[/quote]Don't blame Tencent, blame the Chinese government. If they didn't have Tencent do it they would just use another company anyway.[/quote] Why not blaming both? Tell me a reason, a legit and well sustained reason as to why not both.	Posted by notindieanymore on May 21, 2018, 6:48:51 PM Quote this Post

I do appreciate that you have disclosed your circumstances which can help people identify biases and evaluate. That is so rare in game forum... often you see the opposite like "it's so obvious" and "it's just common sense" that somebody's opinion is right, according to that person. Need game info?

Thanks I also just realized that this is silly. My thread reads as a intent to boycott this game, a game that I consider to be the best ARPG. When I should focus my efforts against the root of the issue which is Tencent.

Now, every time you buy a "supporter" pack or other kind of microtransaction, a part of your money will go into this dystopian corporation. You might end up indirectly supporting the social control and total surveillance of hundreds of millions of people who sometimes get driven into madness with the infamous Social Credit Score program. Read about it here http://www.businessinsider.com/china-tencent-and-alibabas-new-credit-scoring-solution-2018-2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Credit_System The program is still in prototype stage and the pressure that puts into the working class is already a health hazard.
