AI Summary:
Main points from the article
The page discusses how Chinese gamers reacted to the “global” launch of The Elder Scrolls Online—a launch that notably did not include China.
🌏 Why China Was Excluded
Chinese regulations require that online games be operated by Chinese companies before release in the country .
As a result, The Elder Scrolls Online must secure a local publishing deal before it can launch in China.

Chinese players expressed a mix of frustration, sarcasm, disappointment, and resignation about being left out of the global release. Their comments highlight several recurring themes:
1. Confusion and sarcasm about the “global” launch
“Why does the global launch not include China?”
“Our country has left the globe!”
2. Criticism of government regulations
Complaints about the Ministry of Culture delaying approvals and frustrating gamers .
3. Economic frustration
Some note the game’s monthly fee is cheap in the US but expensive relative to wages in China .
Others simply say they can’t afford it .
4. Desire to play despite restrictions
“I really want to play this, please come set up a server in China soon.”
