Chinese video games are on the rise, but I wish they got more respect - Lemmy.world

On a console, for an offline game, sure.

I don't trust my details aren't being sent to the CCP aby other way.

Are you fine with it being sent to corporations? Because news flash, they sell your data to way more than just the CCP.

If it's on a console, sure.

What are they gonna sell, my play time habits?

Who are you that’s so important that the government of China wants your information so badly they’ll track your every habit through… a video game?
You do realise the CCP monitoring systems are known to be completely indiscriminate, right? They try to monitor everyone they can
And? So does PRISM.
What do you expect me to be able to do about PRISM, exactly? American made software and services aren't exactly avoidable like their Chinese equivalents are.
So where’s your xenophobic indignance at that? “That and I don’t live in China, so I don’t have a social credit file that I care about being affected.” You got a FICO score here, don’t you? That FICO score can lock you out of cars, apartments, and necessities to fuckin live, right? Where’s your indignance about that? Or is it just ‘you can’t trust those damn dirty thieving asiatics’ just like every other Kyle in this thread?

You got a FICO score here, don’t you?

Are you fucking serious? Do you know how the FICO system actually works? I mean clearly you don't because you compared it to the Chinese social credit system.

To get a good FICO score simply requires 1) paying for things with a credit card and 2) paying off that credit card asap. That's it. The consequence of a bad FICO score means you cannot get decent loans because you've already proven yourself to be a risk.

The Chines social e credit system is a WHOLE different scenario. Basically EVERYTHING you do can affect it. If what you do conforms to the CCPs dictates, it goes up. If you go against the CCP, it goes down. Buying too many video games can decrease your score, for instance. And the penalties are much harsher too. Low social credit scores means you get barred from high end jobs and your kids can't go to good schools. Your ability to travel is limited, no-fly-list style. They can even straight up take your pets away over a low score.

So how the fuck does that sound anything close to FICO, you disingenuous, rage baiting twat?

Hi,

Your comment wans removed for breaking Rule 2. Chinese social score may be a very discutable topic, it is no reason for insults.

So we’re just gonna let people run they mouth on some sinophobic nonsense, but let me flip it back on them alla sudden y’all got a problem with it? I see you. Ain’t touched none of the sinophobia in that thread, but you can’t get off my dick? Like I said, I see you.
What are they gonna log, your play time habits?
That's why I'm fine with it on consoles. PC games though? Whole 'nother story.
