Before I wasn't so sure but now I'm very sympathetic to the idea of playing only co-op games and PVE stuff and I completely understand now where you guys are coming from when you've decided to take that stance. I honestly think a big part of my change in attitude are the cheat whiners who now completely infest steam.
Some of these complaints may or may not be legitimate with Chinese hackers. However we've reached a new level of retard in the games industry generally where it seems normies are being driven out of games by autists who can play well and they're genuinely too stupid to know the difference between a hacker and somebody who is actually good at the game.
Take Battlebit Remastered as an example because that's a game I played to death when it came out and I sort of hop in the servers that are still active. I don't even necessarily think it's the bullshit chat moderation that has killed off the game's playerbase I think too many people potentially got scared away from all the negative review hack accusation spam that's going about the place and it's completely ridiculous. I maybe encountered one actual hacker in the wild and he ended up getting banned to the credit of the devs and this was on an official server. Recently had a game of battlebit and sure enough there was an actual retard accusing someone of hacking but he did get completely roasted by everybody in chat.
Do you remember when hack accusations were just for the lulz? These guys clearly mean it because they're that bad at the game. It's like a bunch of polygon journalists have taken over everything and they whine constantly about how many cheaters there are and want the game balance changed so they can have an advantage. Obvious smurfing on matchmaking style games is one thing but that's something you can identify properly and when you make these guys try and justify themselves they really are complete morons.
RIP Halo and CoD style lobbies, that's a thing of the past now that the normies have found gaming unless we all get community servers and private them big time.
Not just gaming and sports. They "cheat" on everything. They cut corners when making concrete for building foundations, so their buildings fall down. They fake the data for maintenance records for things like elevators and escalators, so people are killed by them constantly. They dig used chilli oil out of the garbage and reuse it to serve to customers at their restaurants, so people get sick. They fake their data when testing air and water quality, so their air and water are toxic. They paint dirt and rocks around their cities green instead of planting and maintaining grass and other flora. They fish the oceans to extinction instead of doing it in a sustainable way...
They are a country of con men, and are a cancer on this planet. The only silver lining to their behavior is that their military will always be incapable of being a real threat since none of their weapons will ever be reliable.
Check out serpentza's youtube channel if you want to have your mind blown by how terrible the people in that country are.
Yeah put it this way if the choice was to spend the night in a building abandoned for years in Japan or Europe or spend the night in a new build in China, you couldn't pay me enough money to not chose the abandoned building!
The points you gave are just some of the reasons I call China a glass cannon in that if they try to invade Taiwan, if they can repel the first assault there's a good chance they already win as China can't follow up after.
That's just how communism "works" to use the word loosely. It's always just a bunch of useful idiots and sycophants lying until the wheels fall off, because anyone who actually tried to fix anything got sent to the gulags.
