I think i saw WCG 2009 finals the other day and they were held in China and there were A LOT of people, would love to see that again; good news for sure. China still has a big following in broodwar because its so accesible etc and can run on any pc nowadays. | ||

The Chinese government actively censors the internet for it's citizens; a policy that many, many people strongly disagree with. China not getting global play is just one of a long laundry list of symptoms of that policy. Edit: this post may not be correct. I originally assumed that it would be legal for Blizzard to implement global play, but that China's censorship firewall created too much lag. But now a user is saying that it would actually be illegal for Blizzard to implement global play in China. Please see the post below where I try to resolve the issue. | ||

Wait... so China actively forbid Blizzard from setting up a server that would communicate with outside servers in China? I thought that China's censorship firewall just created too much lag for global play to be possible, not that they actively prevented Blizzard from setting up global play. What exactly are the laws that server owners are subject to in China? | ||

Not true, mostly have nothing to do with firewall and stuff, it's just Blizzard and NetEase being conservative plus there are more non-political tech issues like payment and BN games stuff. DotA 2 which recently launched in China is right on the same Steam server playing with rest of the world. | ||
