SORRY TO CUT AND PAST.
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY MMORPG DID NOT COVER THIS NEWS IN A HEADLINE?
"China has banned foreign investment in its online gaming industry in a tightening of its censorship regime and an effort to protect local gaming companies. Foreigners would be banned from operating online gaming within China through wholly foreign-owned investments, joint ventures or any other forms of co-operation with local companies, the country’s publishing regulator said."
IS IT TRUE?
IS IT NEWS?
ISN'T THIS SITE ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE MMO WORLD?
AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY IT DIDN'T MAKE NEWS ON THIS SITE?
AND IF IT DID, CAN SOMEONE SHOW ME WHERE?
..its a guideline, not a rule, as players we must remember: Its a Game.

Because no one posted it on the forums yet. That's where MMORPG.com gets it's news.

"Hello person posting on a site specifically for MMO's in a thread on a sub forum specifically for a particular game talking about meta features and making comparisons to other titles in the genre, and their meta features.
How are you?" -Me
All this means to me is less gold spam and approve of this.
LOL
Like that.

How ignorant can you be.

WOW- China cares about not losing its Industry to non Nationals- Wish the USA had the same Philosophy and care about its nationalism.
+1 to China
This is not about what China is doing, but what MMORPG isn't doing!

I think it still remains to be seen how this will affect the MMO industry as a whole. They may want to gather more facts before posting a news article about it.
Because we dont need multiple threads about the same topic?

I have to agree. Its a sad day when the chicoms have a better business model than the U.S. I doubt you will see their leader doing a world apology tour for it either.
NO...to cover news you post it as it happens....not four days later!

THIS TOPIC IS ABOUT WHY MMORPG DIDN'T COVER THIS NEWS.

Do they really need to make a seperate post or headline when it is already being discussed on their forums? This isnt fox or cnn where you get 24 hour a day coverage for 2 months because an entertainer dies.
last i saw here ,they publish everything that will reach america
correct me if im wrong?

Considering this is the precedent they have allways used, why would they stop now. Here is how news is aquired by MMORPG.com.

it wouldnt make much of a difference lol usa almost dont play game made outside usa
the number of player playing game made outside usa is so low its not worth protecting a market that already protect itself lol
Because journalism for our genre has yet to evolve beyond covering releases, gameplay discussions, reviews and "insider" looks. Take sports as an example, in countries with a well developed football press (Argentina) analysis becomes not only very elaborate and technical but all aspects of the game are discussed and covered. Violence in stadiums, corruption amongst FAs, player transfers, social and cultural aspects of the game, etc. Countries with poorly developed media (Honduras) will only focus on cheerleading their teams and hyping readers/viewers about medocre games.
MMO coverage is geared towards providing consumers with whatever info game companies decide to release and doing a bit of critique. We even get a guy on this site (good writer tho) doing lists of what games would be cool to have or what are the all time favorites... It really is our fault for not being discriminating about the quality the of journalism we get...
Just to make things clear...
I speak for myself and no one else, unless i state otherwise mine is just an opinion. A fact is something that can be independently verified, you may challenge such but with proof. You have every right to disagree with me through sound argument, i believe in constructive debate, but baseless aggression will warrant an unkind response.
Um...

Think about it. How does this affect anything. What Chinese MMO is popular? It pretty clearly states that a foreign company can not have it's primary base of operations in China. Blizzard is not affected.
Also I might add, this is a fan site, albeit the best, and not a hard core news site. Having been a journalist for 20 years and a gamer for longer, I know that working with a limited unpaid staff you are bound to miss some stuff.
And quite honestly, this is not a big story just another Chinese attempt to pretend they are Socialist when indeed they are the most virulently Capitalist nation on earth.

Hahaha that is pretty damn true. I do remember getting a email for this some time yesterday. Thats what made me decide to click on the link just now.
Again, Stay with me if you do not understand the queston.
This Topic is not about China.
This Topic is about why MMORPG did not report it/ make a topic / new healine about it.
..its a guideline, not a rule, as players we must remember: Its a Game.
Stay with me. It's not worthy of headline.
Do you pay them to do it?
Please do not hype any gam.. oh wait, nevermind... forgot what forum I was on.
