    So, you’re saying that it is the Chinese culture to steal from others because they were stolen from? That sounds racist as hell.

      No, but this might shock you, other countries have different definitions of what theft is. Theft is taking something from someone.

      The funny part being that it is literally enshrined in American law that game mechanics can’t be copyrighted, so its not even in the definition of theft in America either.

        Game mechanics can be Patented in the US, just look at the Nemesis system.

        Also, just because a country decides that their definition of a thing is different than everyone else’s, doesn’t make it correct. Just look at Russia, they have so many different forms of lying to justify lying in everyday life, but that doesn’t make corruption OK.

        On top of that, you were the one who defended this fairly blatant plagiarism by pointing to examples of theft.
