Still no Chinese language???
Wait a minute... as a loyal fan of Mass Effect series, I bought it right after its available on steam. (and fk my friends all just wishlist it and not pro-order )
But WTH? still no Chinese language?? several version of Chinese localization packages are there for years! u dont even need to do it yourself. but no, still no official Chinese language support! please remind me what year we are now.
All the beautiful description on game steam homepage in Chinese, even the name can be showed in Chinese, yet no language for the game, outrage!

Bioware had already translated the original trilogy to Japanese for the xbox 360/PS3 (the Japanese translation however was never released on steam). So this isn't Bioware favoring Japanese fans over Chinese fans, it's just that they already had the Japanese translation.

As for Bioware not adding in Chinese, translating a game isn't something game developers can do quickly, most text heavy games (which Mass Effect is) can take more than half a year to translate to a different language (and considering the trilogy is 3 games, it would take even longer).

As for why they don't just use a fan made translation, I can't really say for sure, but it's possible there are legal reasons, or they just didn't know these translations existed.

This is a remaster not a reboot. So minimal content update and primarily graphics update and bug fixes. What do you mean outrage?

1. Bioware want to make money from Chinese players, if your steam in Chinese you can see the whole homepage (even the game name, this is not often) is in Chinese, and believe me there are many Chinese ME fans
2. As I said, its not hard after many versions of translation are done already, just pick one and copy, yet Bioware dont even bother to do that
3. It is a remaster I know, but remaster can add more language, not in voids but in words like subtitle, and if U compare the homepage of ME3 and MEL, U will see there is one language added, which is Japanese.

You can literally look to the right which shows you supported languages. They are not trying to scam you off or other Chinese for their money they are not forcing them to buy it. Take it or leave it. Its their decision which languages they decide to localise it to and after their failure with Andromeda and Anthem they focus on making it up to their current fans and not spread out their localisation. Its not translated to my native language but i dont care im already grateful that this is even happening. People really need to learn some humility already somehow its a fashion now to be demanding.

Did I ever say scam??? dont twist others words. I just mean Bioware not sincere enough on this matter. (as its always been not sincere from the day MEA launched, which was years ago)

The fact is MEL added Japanese yet not add Chinese, don't want any argue if not about this.

You called it an outrage, I dont see how it is an outrage other than having some unreasonable feeling of getting scammed. Why would it be an outrage? There are many fan translations and now if all of them were like you they would have to add 100+ new languages and they didnt announced anything about expanding to Chinese localisation anywhere either so theres no reason for you to call this an outrage or be mad at all.

I was just saying they are lazy fkers want to make easy money like last 2 times (even though I still bought it with no hesitation, Love ME too much)
Then I find them added Japanese, and didnt add Chinese(I'm more then Confident to tell u the purchase from Chinese gamer are several times then those ocean poisoners)
gamer inequality is what U like? maybe other day they point it at u? and look back to Bioware actions in past few years, if this is not outrage, what is? when they feed ♥♥♥♥ to every gamer and call it gold? Oh sry, my bad, they already done that.

Who are you to talk like this? You seem to feel unreasonably entitled to get what you want. How are they lazy fckers as u call them? Just because they didnt added what you wanted? Thats stupid. They support already enough languages more than average and im sure every Chinese that will buy this will disagree with you on this as well. As i said if they would have to get all the fan translations just because some random mad kid on internet requested it from them they would have to add over 100 languages and localisations can many times cause a lot of bugs which they would have to fix then and considering how many languages they support (which is more than usually). They are by far not lazy fckers and are doing a great job at already handling the amount they do so stop being stupid please.

U missing the point, every word I said u twisted in to toxic ways and then accuse me with such non-exist point of view.
if u want a win, fetch~ u certainly don't want discuss any of the problem anyway.
Keep say what u say, but I'll stop reply your pointless slander.
Also kind reminder, u want to say something, look at the mirror first.
Also, there are many Chinese players are rejecting the game because language support already in post bars, not like u ever gonna know or really care about.
Lastly, I must say I expect better from Slovak gamer.

Youre literally being unreasonable and being outraged because you didnt get what you wanted, what should the other few hundred countries with own languages say? Why you should get a translation and they dont? Dont you think youre being way too greedy? I didnt missed any point. Youre just being demanding and theres nothing more behind it. Please learn some humility. Thats like me being outraged that idolmaster starlit season (which i wanted really badly) getsreleased only in east Asia and no english language but im not because its the companies decision and i have no right to be OUTRAGED about it. Bioware focuses on western part of world so NA + Europe, giving it an asian localisation is a bonus people should be already grateful for.

B/c bioware and EA just want to grab easy money at the lowest cost.

There are Chinese translations out there for original me series and all bioware and EA need to do is to contact those translators and add a new language into the remastered version.

So they are lazy and greedy at the same time. Just like paradox interactive who recently got a 7% positive review on their newest eu4 dlc.

Typical even after directly or not killing hundreds of thousands of people worldwide... reason why steam should stay clear from this market, look at the complaint for that game with a joke about that muppet of Xi...

As mentioned the list of languages is on the side, quit moaning... if you do not like it do not buy, it is not mandatory and it seems is doing great being constantly on top sales.

As with "Woke" and "Cancel History" muppets the more vocal are the very few, the majority is silent...

Lost the count of silly threads here, as if Bioware will come and reply to you, EA does not need lesson from you in business, they are horrible and always have been, but surely they know how to milk gamers.

This is shipped with whatever languages were supported.
