Game play there is more of a religion than sport. I would say it approaches addiction for sure. I set in on a meeting last week about this. Simply put, The Government there does not like online gaming interfering with social task.

Btw EA and a few others will be attending a conference in China next month on how to open China to world wide gaming without the moral and social influence of the western world. :violin:

What a load of horse dung. The west is finacing China's rush into the modern age. Without the west's "corrupt moral and social influence", this couldn't happen. It's called "capitalism" comrades, get over it.

BTW, why do we have open trade with a communist country that has no regard for human or workers rights?

Blah.
