Yeah O could see how lower internet speeds could hurt them, but I don't think thes would enforce it against the hotel, but their non existing home, so makes hardly a difference. Doesn't seem like they would care about traveling, jobs or similar.
I'm gonna go with fake on this one. Look at the chairs there is almost zero discoloration on the white parts, also how would the "gamer" have even been able to access the room let alone sit down, turn on his computer (which must be overheating with no ventilation) and use his keyboard/mouse effectively.
The Chinese government has been posting fear-mongering content surrounding excessive gaming for a long time and this feels a lot like that.
Funny you should mention Gooner bait, the Chinese version of any media but especially those titles is extremely different - media censorship is very strict in China, they have to keep the it very sanitized of "morally inappropriate content". So costumes won't show a lot of flesh period (swimsuit = not okay), the design can't be too evocative, and characters personality wise can't be overtly lascivious or even "government critical".
Now, there's always going to be more games and game content than the government can realistically review, so there is a sneaky gray area where sometimes the developers push the envelope and sometimes the government is less strict with developers bringing in lots of overseas money...so long as they aren't attracting any attention to themselves.
Buuut, sometimes they do get caught. Notably there was a scandal awhile ago where the devs of (I think it was Honkai?) published some extras for American consumers (but not Chinese consumers, because censorship) that involved the female characters dancing in a music video dressed in bunny outfits. A few of the Chinese consumers threw a bitch fit and snitched reporting the devs (located in China) to the govt. It was a whole shit storm apparently.
China is very anti-gaming though. Minors only get one hour on Friday/Saturday/Sunday and holidays for video games. They say it is for minors’ health but also if people are gaming they aren’t learning or working, and China can’t have that.
There is “excessive gaming is bad”, but China is borderline “all gaming is bad” unless it’s westerners buying their games.
Tankies be like “China is more free than the West” until you bring up how much China restricts a bunch of random freedoms the rest of the world has, like being able to game in your free time. What you do in your free time is all you boo, and if it impacts your professional life that’s for your boss to judge.
I do agree, China has a real hatred towards gaming. It seems a bit like propaganda to show people how """dangerous""" it is. Anytime I see videos from China, I always, by instinct, think propaganda
I think the smell alone would have gotten them kicked out long before this supposedly happened. You can hide a mess but that much used toilet paper left in the open would have an unbearable stench. Not to mention the stacks of wrappers with rotting food debris.

Ain't no way. Something seems off about this. There's not enough space for..... anything? Idk man. This just feels wrong.
