I'm hoping this is taken as a sign by the CPC to have their youth wing engaged more actively in politics. A lot of these rules seem well meaning, but lack understanding of the things they're censoring, enabling or limiting. Party membership skews older, so it would be nice to see more active attempts at getting the youth's voices heard.

This isn't an issue of not understanding situation.

They wanted to rightfully crack down on exploitative models, and porky got mad when his market started to tank. Simple as.

Oh for sure, but people still reacted negatively. The idea was good, but the way it was implemented was not. That's more what I'm getting at.

[-] blakeus12@hexbear.net 4 points 10 months ago

how else could they have implemented it?

[-] darkcalling@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 10 months ago

Well they could have done it more gradually and that may have been the better move. Take 3 steps to get to each goal over a number of years with the ability to stop half-way if needed. Instead of outright going for the throat in this maybe just the ban on harmful incentive systems that force players to log in daily or fall behind. That by itself would have had western gamers cheering for the most part as aside from a few deeply in denial addicts most people don't like being controlled like that.

These new 'rules' are only in the phase of public consultation right now. So this is like a non-story in the first place. Also, from what I understand, the youth wing is very engaged.
