"Comply to the CCP's demands to get access to our market of 1.3 billion people" said the human ranchers.

"Okay" said Gabe Newell.

Nothing new here. American companies bending over backwards to appease the communist, while discarding their principles on freedom.

This troubles me. It's bad that chinese people have to endure censorship, but I suspect soon enough it will be us as well. How long until China will threaten to cut them off if they don't enforce similar policies in other markets?

Fuck Valve. They also said they weren't going to be the taste police only for appearance.

The CCP philosophy fits well with their form of completely arbitrary and unnecessary self-censorship.
