Isnt it already xenophobic when GOG says its because of "Gamers" meaning Chinese gamers, when there is almost no discourse about this topic at all in chinese social media outside of a few posts?
This feels like putting the blame on people that were not actually at fault.
Possibly? Though I kind of think a lot of the gaming industry cynically uses twitter chatter as a way to cover their asses not just in this case. It's similar to a lot of the discourse of how TLOU2 was "controversial" which right-wing game sites use to shut down all discourse on it. But I meant things like how people tend to blame the Chinese market for a lack of LGBTQ+ representation in media properties when that's not really the case.
