Adding a new subfaction into the game for free is a good move! I was looking for them in the DLC section, nice to see it's free for everyone regardless of locality.

Freedom is communism
Democracy is non-negotiable

This is my favourite game! I love the new minor faction!

Free Hong Kong! omg I cant belief this gamin cumpany is supporting china overlords who are rekting their own people! they gun grind em 2 dust from dere bones, will that make you happy?

Now this is hysteria and stereotype.
Cut out your arrogance, and stop commenting on things you dont know.
Besides its just a game and Chinese is used by a billion people in the world, I dont see any problem they add it to the game.

Thankkkkkkkk you！！！！！！！！！！！！！！

Oh boy I so want to play this game, but the unit customization RPG elements and turn based combat of it is a step too far in details for me. I loved Endless Legend 2 where the same system of unit buildingis so much more simpler and easier with the automatic and cinemalike battles. I wish I could have that from this studio in a fantasy world.

i used to think like this in some other fantasy w/ space travel game... the thing is that if it's truly that distant and alien fictional world, how we are supposed to know what was inspired by what without spoiling the surprise for ourselves?

That is my point. When you design something "fictional", you will of course use something that existed already (how esle?). Nevertheless, the final version of endless legend setting is quite "unique", with it's own idea (as far as i can understand) - everyone is uncomfortable on auriga, because in the start of the game, no one is fully adopted to live and survive on it. Everyone are some kind of foreigners to this planet, aliens. And when you point out that this creatures are *surprise* just a representation of some human nation, lol the magic of this setting is broken than.

"the universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose" - j.b.s. haldane.

and no, word "queer" isn't being used in some stigmatised way here. it's more about how real aliens supposed to be much harder to recognize than to discover.

"Celebrating this addition to the game, Endless Legend and most of it's DLC are 75% off until November 13"

Why did the sale end this morning, November 12?

It's the 13th in China, has been for four hours.

Спасибо вам ребяты :) Вы прекрасные (:

It's like they took Maytag and switched the y and g around. Seems like lazy naming.

I love Amplitude, but this announcement makes me a bit worried. Increased activity involving the Chinese market is rarely a good sign for a company's western fans. As long as they don't bend the knee to China, I'll continue to support Amplitude, but if they bow to Chinese money, I'll quit them like I quit Blizzard.

I doubt they'll read this, but just in case: Amplitude, don't make us hate you. If there is a Blitzchung-like incident, there WILL be trouble. Do not forsake your fans or their freedom of speech and expression for Chinese money. Make sure your company policies regarding China stay only at translations.

As a test of censorship:
Free Hong Kong
Free Taiwan
Free Tibet
Justice for the Uyghur Muslims
China is the new Nazi Germany

Amplitude is owned by Sega and has been for a while now. Wherever Sega goes Amplitude will follow and as the Chinese market opens up and becomes more profitable, Sega WILL bow to the pressure. It's only a matter of when that happens.

If it were a situation where it'd cost them their western market as a consequence they wouldn't do it, but that won't happen. Sure, the market will kick and scream about it for a while and swear to God they're never going to buy another Sega game again but all it'll take is one shiny cinematic trailer to whip them back into line.

Das ist euer großes Update? eine Milliarden mehr potenzielle User...

This is based on what data? Many companies have suffered big losses because of censorship, why do you think Sega is immune? Of course, it isn't. And Amplitude is a lot weaker than Sega.

Population data, economic common sense, and an understanding of the fickleness of the average western consumer.

And, you know, this isn't entirely about greed or not caring about your customer base. You can refuse a foreign investment or to kowtow to the demands of an oppressive regime if you want to but at the end of the day it doesn't matter. Refuse the investor and he can simply buy up enough of your stock to gain a controlling interest in the affairs of your entire corporation, never mind the one game he initially wanted to invest in. Refuse to create your game in a certain way to satisfy some country's sociopolitical bent, say goodbye to your share of that market to someone else who won't refuse.

Even if you have the best of intentions, it's a damned if you do/damned if you don't situation and the Chinese market is nothing to sneeze at anymore. The best we can hope for is that when the time comes China will be a different China. But I don't really care because it's not our place to decide how China ought to manage it's own affairs. I just try to not buy products from there if I don't have to... except for knives. I buy a lot of Chinese knives. Their manufacturing is getting scary good.

I'm not sure what "Amplitude is weaker than Sega" is all about. Amplitude is owned by Sega so it would be.
