I strongly urge people to visit china. It has come a giant leap along in the last 15-20 years. Amazing place to behold. Extremely low crime, amazing technology in the cities, robots everywhere. It's quite insane

Where is Simplified English?

English (United States) isn’t a option you can select?

CCP feels that Valve are not censoring enough or some retired red army general has a Steam clone launching and all that market disappears overnight.

Anywhere that doesn't have freedom is a shit hole.

Ehh, there are probably quite a few Americans on Steam.

The big shock here is that English is still technically higher, even if it's by a percentile.

It's probably because many Chinese kids are taught English these days, and some might just put Steam in English.

Edit: misread the stats, Chinese is higher, which is expected. It's only a matter of time when games are made for the Chinese audience rather than catering too.

Steam is global now. This is why Sony is putting their games on Steam now btw.

PlayStation and Nintendo are also global.

But there are regions that prefer PCs over consoles (China, Russia, etc.), just like there are regions that prefer consoles over PC (Europe). Coincidentally, the regions that do prefer PC are pretty huge in population (China), so they end up with a lot more impact.

There are already countless Chinese games on Steam, unlike on consoles.

Give it time, it's only gonna grow on consoles too.
