china doesnt have dota 2 yet either, it takes a long time to settle with a publisher there and remove everything they want to be removed and set it up for their servers,etc.

The communist government has the power on everyone, they can choose who to kill or not, they also force abortions on women who often commit suicide after that. I know it doesn't have anything to do with the game itself, but it's just important to know, that we need to fight for our freedom against big governments that become corrupted. I pray China will have more freedom.

So stupid that there government can just say, "Sorry you no play with other people in the world". Shame on Blizzard for letting it happen. Just as bad as google saying, "Yes we will censor Chinese searches"

But will it still be subscription based? That's one of the main reasons it isn't popularized yet I think :/

China will never get global play, at least not in the forseeable future.

Would be nice if the price policy extended to people who buy the game at north american prices. Just because a region of the world has a strong aversion to paying and a strong desire to pirate it does not entitle them to paying less than everyone else.

Hong Kong belongs to the KR/TW region, all WoL copies purchased in HK was converted from SEA to KR/TW at HotS launch.

Internet browsing is free in Hong Kong and they get first releases of games in English, usually not localized. I got my copy of SC2 in Hong Kong when it was first released globally instead of waiting for it to come out in Mainland China.

There are still a few blocked websites and things we can't search, but generally free.

It's just that Chinese internet sucks, yes it's filtered by the government but the great firewall of China doesn't even add much latency. There are too many people for the infrastructure available, making everyone lag. No one wants to play with laggers and I think that Blizzard's decision isn't that bad.

When TL banned Chinese players from TSL did you also say "Shame on TL for letting it happen" ?

Last I've heard, SC2 community in China is really small these days, and the whole CN server is a hacker's server with not many people playing. Don't really think that HoTs will stir up anything in China, as far as I can tell..... there are too many MMOs and other games the younger generation enjoys.

And SC2 isn't net cafe friendly, you have to have your personal account to play, I see people on League of Legend almost every net cafe I went to in China, rarely do I see anyone on SC2.

Although I could be narrow sighted. So don't quote on me, but that's just how I feel.
Mostly a troll, bi-polar by design, occasionally brain malfunction. Please forgive me. xD
