Anyway, I'm hyped for it but dunno if I will pick it day one, depending on how Bamco price NNKR it might have to wait.

Wording in the first question is sketchy for sure
That entire article/interview is basically just the guy trying to trap them and then go
What a martyr.
I don't know why people are bitching about Steam China when it won't affect them a bit.

it's the job of an interviewer to ask difficult questions, it's not supposed to be PR piece. None of the questions was out of line, and if anything it's dumb how that Valve employee/representative was avoiding actual answers.

now if only they did that with all the other interviews they do ... like EGS ... crunch ... basically talking to ANY big publisher ... THQ ...
I've already bought Man of Medan and have Game Pass ready to go for Gears 5. Other than that I'm gonna actually try to get some of my backlog played instead of getting anything new.Trying to figure out which of these games i want to play and which of these i want to buy (Of course i am talking about gamepass, what do you think?)
"Irresponsibly uncurated" my ass. And the good old "anti-Chinese sentiment" gets trotted out yet again to downplay people's concerns. The rest of the questions are fine and I don't think the anwers were that bad, although the interviewer comes across a tad too happy about Valve having to adhere to China's censorship policies.

their Epic vs Steam talk is refreshingly neutral and pro-consumer. Especially because they are devs themselves.
Especially Björn from Piranha Bytes.
I'm not saying they are consistent about it, but i'm not gonna call them out when they decide to actually not be a pushover once in a while.
Ignoring the Tweet, the interview itself is pretty awful. Like the journalist has no idea how to conduct an interview and seems to be unprepared/ignorant:
- the interview isn't structured well; it's hard to follow it;
- he has no idea about Steam's history with Chinese players/partners nor what Steam China is about;
- he doesn't understand (or ignores) that there are NDAs which prohibit an interviewee from talking about stuff that's in development; especially if it's something delicate like dealing with Chinese authorities;
- he's trying to spin it into something about EGS (Tencent; exclusivity; curation).
Or maybe he's just deliberately trying to make his interviewee look bad which backfires in this case and just makes it seem like he has no idea what he's doing.
Or let me rephrase that: he was trying to get a "Gotcha!"-moment in the interview but fails miserably.

Is it the "harsh" interview? It is not the same author, and I fail to see which question was difficult.
Valve talks Steam China, curation and exclusivity
Valve, alongside its business partner in China, Perfect World, has given us an update on the progress of Steam China to…
www.eurogamer.net
Edit: It seems so. Such a valiant job to ask them whether they would follow Chinese laws, and they said yes.
What you should be thinking though is "why give Valve such a hard time when everyone else gets a free pass? What is your agenda?" That's why it's been pointed out and also why it's infuriating.
Lmao, they're blaming Valve for making actually legal version of Steam in China? That's a new one. Gaming journalism was a mistake.
OP
There is just not enough drama for the gaming media nowadays. They are too scared to attack publishers over actual terrible stuff since it will hurt their future coverage...so they just stick to Valve, EGS and other pc gaming stuff for clickbait.
It will all change next year when the normal console war bs returns. All the coverage will be about counting pixels in a PS5 screenshots and other ridiculous shit that brings in views.

So, like, everyone?Well according to people:
If Tencent gave Papa Tim green light to work in China he would be performing private lapdances for the Pooh. Same goes for everyone in the industry starting with console manufacturers, why focus on Valve?
Ah yes the endless cycle of the death of PC gaming.
See:
I too don't know how to conduct a legal business without abiding the local laws.because:
That interview was great, especially the part “so, the hate towards EGS is based on an anti-Chinese sentiment [...] so, China being China...”
Oh, I'm very much aware of the bias. Even the tweet by the editor talks about "irresponsible lack of curation" and clearly shows on which side they are standing on. But that doesn't mean I have to hate everything they are doing. It might not have been a well research or prepared interview, but I will never be angry about an interview being critical. At worst, it was pointless, but ideally it can bring about new insights. Whereas an interview that just asks mellow questions is always pointless, and at worst acts as free advertising.
Got my Gears 5 Xbox pad and it's glorious.
Top 3 now looks like this:
1. Sea of Thieves LE
2. Dawn Shadow (even though I got way over 100€ I still regret selling it)
3. Gears 5 LE
Now let's wait and see if the G5 DLC code will sell for stupid prices like the SoT one did. Or still does.... oh crap, people are paying 100€ now. F%§& my lack of patience. And an auction of a new and sealed SoT HDD + DLC ended around 300 bucks. Good thing I unpacked mine and sold both items separately for a fraction.

Don't tell them about other American Tech companies in China.... Boy that'd be a lotta article wouldn't it? Sudden knowledge that all of their strutting about freedom and openness can be bought away? "Clutches pearls made out of old ram chips"because:
Quick question, is the Xbox One controller on PC backwards compatible with any game that supports XInput?Got my Gears 5 Xbox pad and it's glorious.

Oh I agree with you about critical questions. I wasn't at all clear but I didn't mean that everybody should get a free ride when most already do.

Some Knife of Dunwall screens I took.
Final mission is insane. Best method I've seen online is to use the sound from hitting with my sword to initiate enemy's movement cycles. Has to be the oddest thing I've seen in this game far as programing of enemies goes lol.
