All of this is in human nature, and like it or not, this entertains the masses and is essential in keeping a happy population.
Restricting such entertainment leaves lesser entertainment to take over.
This is where MMORPGs come in.
Most Chinese people work in manual labour for very long hours with little pay. The only joy in their life left, is playing a free MMORPG after work.
This takes minimal effort. No need to spend time walking anywhere, or large amounts of money, just turn your computer on and play.
The Chinese government brought this upon themselves. Treating their country and their people like shit. Abusing their land and their inhabitants.
Total disregard of human life and little to no respect for their rights.
The Government should revoke Communism as this romantic view of everyone being hard working and living in an incredibly peaceful place, with no profit, is great in theory, but many examples of its failures show that in practice, it never works.
The rapid economic growth is impressive, but at what cost? Their lands being ***** and poisoned? Their people treated like slaves and cattle?
That is not what Communism is meant to be.
Games should not be blamed. They prosper in a broken world. The game developers aren't masterminds with their pinky to their mouth. They don't purposely want to ruin people's lives. They want to live and have a better life in a corrupted and ravaged world. Anyone would.
