$1600? Mere pennies to Squeenix, may as well just pay the bloke and move on or ignore the guy and move on.

I bet if all the Chinese people were replaced by white people it would be OK. Doesn't anyone understand? You can only kill scores of white people. Anything else is racist bad, mmkay?
I don't hear crying about all the Nazi's killed in the all WW2 games.


Why are game developers sued over stupid crap like this? Movies have far more disturbing content than any game and I rarely hear anything about it.

I killed loads of people in Hong Kong in Deus Ex, and Shanghai in Human Revolution. I'm sure those games must have something against China too.

This is fairly typical behavior in China actually. The mentality is very much China vs the World (led by America).

The killing of Chinese citizens is just one of many aspects of Dog Days worth Bitching about.

No they shouldn't, this is bullshit and he knows it. SE should bring down the hammer on these frivolous lawsuits as well as anyone should.

here's my preferred rebuttal to people like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssC77hapv0g

China is pretty much the most backwards, tyrannically ruled bomb of a first world country. Poverty is common place, the rich rape the people for all their worth and the "government" goes to great lengths to murder silence and arrest anyone who speaks up. They have the highest ratio of executions of any country on Earth and an utter joke of a criminal justice system, all but ensuring innocent people and anyone the government doesn't like go missing or have their head blown off on a daily basis. They give new meaning to the term political prisoner. Nothing that comes from that country surprises me.

And and I'd well bet China is one of the more racist and xenophobic nations of people on Earth as well--irony.

$1600? That's it? I make that in two months. Why the fuck do we care about this?

It's the principle, and the precedent. Precedent means a lot in law courts. If he wins here he will have free rein to do so continually for higher prices and win claiming precedent.

Have fun dieing before Square Enix even goes to court!

Specially over $1600, the court fees will be more than that wouldn't they? All they have to do is threaten to drag this out and he'll end up in the red.

Now if he was doing it because it was a horrible excuse for a game as well, then we could take that shit to Kickstarter and get some reparations.

Though really, China doesn't need any help fucking up it's own image, they're doing it quite well themselves.

Wait what? So this guy thinks you can sue anyone who insults you?

I'll be right back guys I have to go sue anyone who ever made a ginger joke.

You guys do get news from Sankaku, I knew it!

Also, I can't agree with "Suffering from a severe porn infestation"; the porn site is currently infected with unrelated anime news.

The amount of China bashing going on here...

The lawsuit is stupid and China does have flaws, but it is a wonderful country.

So what happens if he doesn't win? China bans the game instead? Because that makes them look so good.

OK in fairness, as far as I can tell this is just some guy and not actually representing the Chinese govornment, but unless the game is in as poor a taste as that joke, what's there to be offended about? Chinese people get shot, in China. Why is that... oh because they're police? But arn't they corrupt police on the payroll of a crimeboss? And that's not even a statement about corruption in China; Western games, even games specifically set in America, use corrupt police as enemies all the time! It's actually a compliment, saying the police are a force for good, a force for order, a force so great that betraying them by taking a criminal's money makes it ok for the player to slaughter you in droves.
