No, a) because the mob wouldn't be harmed if Gog published this game (especially so since the "controversial" joke has already been cut from the game, so even people who genuinely love Xi Jinping can't be offended with good reason), b) whereas it's frustrating for people who really would like to play the game.

Given the fact that i consider you to be one of the most confused posters on these forums, i will take the time to answer you proper, line by line.

You start your post monumentally with a belief stated as fact:
"Nobody believes the Chinese players complained"

Your statement is based on what? you have no facts, and believing or disbelieving in the absence of facts is plain wrong, and you dont even stop there, you go further down the rabbit hole by making this completely baseless statement:
"The only people making that assertion (and even they don't believe it) are apologists for GOG who are fine & dandy with GOG censoring/banning the game".

Seriously dude stop pretending you know who does what and for what reason and present it as fact.

But hey after this point you keep on going along the same algorithm of presenting your own assumptions as facts so i wont even address line by line, because all your lines are one and the same, namely:
You know who the tellers of truth are and you know who the liars are, and their nefarious and evil behaviors and what the false arguments are from the GOG apologists and what the true arguments are from the likes of you.
You also said i call "idiots" all those who tell the truth....this sums up all of the above perfectly, you are one of those people who are convinced they "know the truth", even in the total absence of facts and evidence....nuff said.
The fact that you even dare to mention the word "proof" when each and every of your points in this forum are baseless allegations...the irony is overwhelming
brwahahaha you prove any of your crap you stated as fact, me i didnt state this as fact, i just repeated what other players stated as their arguments

A completely unrelated question: So, did Grimoire arrive to GOG in the end or not?

of course, but you must have lost your way poor soul, from the word game mega threads, do you need me to post you links to said threads?
Want to do my good deed for the day, help an old lady cross the street, help a confused soul find his word game thread...stuff like that

Kaboro don't be an idiot for not recognizing that offended Chinese players don't have to buy the game. Restricting over 7000 players who have voted for the game is also an economic decision.
You fail to understand that the economic decision is based on communist political ideals of censorship which is wrong and unhealthy.

Excelsior!!!
I quoted your post so you cant alter its beauty later, its just...epic.

Thank you o wise and benevolent shepherd, for the kind words and the enlightment. With so much ado and bruahaha, it is difficult to keep track of the numerous dramatic events that befall GOG community! Maybe in the future it will be possible to read a grimoire with devotion, and who knows what other developments await.

Future......Read....Grimoire.....am i wrong in thinking these are three completely incompatible words?
Nobody hardly ever reads anything today, in the future its bound to be even less.
Grimoire...haha you mean the Kindle grimoire? Because any other kind of grimoire will be burnt to ashes on the altar of progress.

game is popular now because of this and further proves non-stop censorship on the internet. good job commies.

ANY form of censorship, removal, deletion, cancellation, etc for ANY REASON regardless of political or financial is a crime in my book.

You can make excuses, do mental gymnastics, argue semantics all you want but it still comes down to they refused a game over censorship and nothing else.

And to make matters worse every single time a company publicly does this it just makes the whiners and complainers even more bold, more powerful, and they grow in size. Every single bad thing that is in our society today always starts very small and you won't see it because you're too busy hand waving it away and making excuses for it and apologizing for it.

Censorship is a disgusting crime that gets perpetrated more and more as our society becomes weaker and softer.

Truth, sadly its popular ONLY because of this.

Censorship on the internet has been going on for many years, and it is perpetrated mostly by capitalist corporate entities, not by commies, but its nice when you can blame everything on commies, the perfect scapegoats.
You got lost in terms you didnt define properly, and blame it on mental gymnastics...maybe you should try it sometime, will do you good.
There are many forms of censorship, not all deletions and removals are due to censorship.
You say that any censorship, removal or cancellation for ANY REASON is a crime in your book., i say that ignoring the reason for an action and condemning the action without understanding the reasons behind it, is a crime.

You are right about the whiners getting more bold with every success, we have witnessed this plenty in recent years, but right here and now, aren't YOU (and all the similar minded people on these forums) the whiners who are doing the exact same thing you condemn?

Not only is this true, but just look at all the bad press it is getting everywhere (outside China). I've seen videos bashing GOG for it that already have hundreds of thousands of views and good thumbs up ratings. It is just as bad (if not worse) as the Cyberpunk fiasco and it is all adding up.

Yes Mr. Bolsonaro, hundreds of thousands of people thought the earth was flat, that didnt make them right.
Good thing you judge stuff by number of thumbs ups and views....hope for the sake of your country that not all it's citizens are as confused as you are.
