games seem to be undergoing a phase were quality and making a good game is seen as less important then how much money the company makes. A very good example of this: Fable III. Fable III has had an unbelievable amount of features that have been massively downgraded from Fable II. I can go on and on about what they have changed, but I will sum it up like this: every feature that made Fable II a unique game different from every other game of its type and definetly a one-of-a-kind game has been downgraded into a form that makes it undisputably resemble what most people would imagine it looked like in Fable I, which was not made during the times that game's were as big of projects as they are now. They not only made downgrades like only being able to interact with one person at a time over an entire croud at once, but also stupid or lazy mistakes like making your weapon's transform uniquely to how you have played, but somehow every weapon in every person's game looks exactly the same, and also not checking the color of the two parents when a player has a child with a NPC (its not racist to be put off by a white baby with two white parents somehow turning into a young black girl all 3 times I have had a child). Fable III is a great example of not puting the quality in that people would expect.
Many great games have always created a game that even when some screwups have been made, they are reasonable. A good example of this is Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, which has many glitches that interfere with the game because it involves precision and carefulness much of the time to play. It has many glitches that interfere with gameplay, but they are not in great number, or too obvious, so I can understand them not being cought by the programmers. What irritates me about Fable III is that mistakes/glitches wont include reasonable things like a glitch so much, but more of something were the programmers never put in the time to do soemthing, like even though there are only 50 weapons in the game, there are are atleast 3 weapons that share the exact same graphic, so none of the only 50 are really unique. Games went through a phase were designing them were careful and obviously so, but now stupid and obvious mistakes have become more and more common in major games that would normally follow a more demanding standard.
I love to share funny stuf with friends, but whenever i offer a funny video to them, they tell me to stfu. So now im PASSING THE SAVINGS ONTO YOOOOUUUUU! I did not make most of the pictures or videos below. If I do not specify that an image or video was made by me, assume that it was made by someone else.

Chinese Censorship
I believe that the Chinese censorship is both wrong and ineffective. First of all, assumption is that censorship is being implemented as to prevent a revolution, since it struggles witha serious overpopulation problem, which also means a very large number of people who would revolt. Censorhip is inneffective with preventinga revolution because even though it would be much more difficult to spread negative information about the government, it in itself will create alot of animosity towards it. Also, people are resiliant when it comes to spreading information, so people will fight to spread what the government wants so badly from being released to the public. Finally, just because true facts are being restricted, false facts that are negative towards the government can still thrive. When facts are always being blocked and contained, people will be more apt to believe any of the few things they hear that justify their beliefs, and are also less likely to believe any good things they hear about their government, whether they are obviously true or not, and therefore will be more apt to ignore them altogether.
Censorship is not only ineffective, but is also wrong. People are entitled to their beliefs and opinions, so they should be able to speak them freely to others. Censorship can be used to censor anything that is seen as harmful to the country, so it does not just stop at people voicing out against their government, it will also be used to censor any material that may even just justify in any small way negative feelings towards the government, which almost anything can be argued as doing this. People will develope their feelinsg towards their government with it's approval or not, and that makes it difficult for the people, because they are not allowed to express their strong feelings in any way without facing serious consequences. Censorship is wrong because no one is immune to its punsihment, no matter how much of an upstanding and law-abiding citizen you are, your opinions can still develope into something that makes it difficult to still follow the censorship laws of the country.
