AFAIK, Steam works nicely in China.

The main problem with localization is not adult themes (there's any?), but FD's utter inability to properly support character sets other than Latin in English version.

For Russian version, this manifests as: if you play non-Russian version and someone writes Cyrillic in chat, all you see is rectangles. But if you play Russian version, you can see both Cyrillic and Latin characters.

That happens in Ark as well. Kids are set to Russian, i'm set to English. I can't see the names of their animals and characters but they can see mine.

Very frustrating. Its not just ED that has this problem.

"Managing large volumes of incoming customer questions"

With tens of millions of potential Chinese players, I wish good luck to the man (or woman) who will be chosen

:D

In the last few years Chinese companies made major acquisitions and investments, because the central bank of China gave huge loans to acquire western companies, technology etc.
Such as Volvo Cars, Motorola, the London Taxi Company, General Electric, Pirelli, MG are all Chinese owned. Tencent owns 40% of Epic Games (the creators of the Unreal Engine).

Yes to the point that the Minister of the French economy has said that the Chinese investment are welcome in France but under strict surveillance to prevent looting

I am learning Mandarin Chinese. Lovely language I love it. I would be so happy if I could give my ships Chinese names and it showed up on the nameplates and so forth. That would be ridiculously awesome!

I always wanted to learn Chinese and Mandarin is the "official language" of their nation. Nice one!

Ahh, good to know.

As for Unicode characters....yeah, that would be nice QoL for ED English client to fully support that. Might as be as simple as just adding right fonts.

Didn't a huge amount of cheaters get banned from PUBG just recently and most were from China? I remember a huge problem with CN hackers in Planetside 1 on the Markov server back in the day. This could be fun.

I know this is not directly related to the subject here but it is to a degree.

This is a fascinated TED talks speech by Paddy Ashdown, he is a member of the British house of lords and former leader of the Lib Dem Party.

This speech outlines the importance of international trade and interconnectivity and how it makes the world a safer place.
