As seen on the recent GameDiscover article, Valve’s Steam presentation at GDC confirmed that Simplified Chinese has ever so slightly surpassed English as the primary language on Steam. Important to note, this isn’t based on the ever-fluctuating hardware survey that Steam has. It is based on a report straight out of the horse’s mouth.

Edit: incredible things are happening in the comment section

But there’s also folks like this suggesting the sinister sisipee is using western games as a digital opium to pacify their disgruntled comstituents:

    the industry is so overtaken by the worst tendencies of late stage capitalism that it can be radicalizing just to be a video game enthusiast

    I think this is why “Gamer” culture pushes far right views so much. A gamer examining how games are made and how much exploitation of workers goes into it, and how these incompetent companies make everything worse for everyone involved (except the ultra rich at the top) would naturally start to radicalise. So there needs to be a much louder right wing form of radicalisation that blames the “wokes” for these problems or else people will start getting ideas about capitalism and realise that the greatest video game ever made, Tetris, was made by the Soviets and therefore the only way gaming can have a decent future is through socialism.
