Yeah, 8 minutes into this, and I can already tell this narrative is extremely sexist. Anyone can be a gold digger in the hyper capitalist nation that is China, that also includes males who prey on innocent women trying to make ends meet for their loved ones.
Capitalism is fraud in of itself, so I'm not sure that's a true claim for praise.
- I watched this whole thing, the story is vastly better than I expected. I'll be starting part 2 tomorrow. Trust me it doesn't go where you think it does.
  
  Honestly lost interest.
  So reply to your post if you want to report back a review.
  I prefer anticapitalist games that are illegal in China.
Isnt catfishing misrepresenting yourself by using fake photos/descriptions not gold digging per-say.
- From my understanding both revolve around using other people to get money, but a gold digger dose it in person, might even go as far as marriage and life insurance clames. Where as a catfish dose it online, to be able to maintain the fake persona.
  So they are similar but there are some differences.
Released for $4.60. below average game cost they said. This makes me wonder... What do games cost on release most places?
I seem to remember $40 PS2/Dreamcast era $50 PS3/360 era, $60 PS4/5/Xbox S/S era. And now people are saying $80 for next gen. Sorry I know I dropped a lot of consoles, but was that pretty standard everywhere?
China still has the "lots of restless young men" problem, so they may be trying to placate the issue by way of diversionary tactics.
Still it's something they created on their own, at the expense of women and now shockingly (not) blame women as well.
Truly idiotic leadership everywhere.
If there's sex scene or sexy scene, i don't complain it
- FMV game, I wouldn't count on it.
