Like holyshit, did they think no one would notice?
Have the Chinese ever had an original thought since they became an industrial powerhouse? Why can't they make their own shit instead of cloning and ripping off literally anything and everything?

There's a bunch of good stuff in the indie manga and game parts coming out of japan, but not so much once a company gets their hands on it.

Hmmm...
In order to win, Battlefield 1942 pays more attention to teamwork. For example, in a bomber, one player is responsible for flying the plane, while the other two teammates are responsible for the co-roduction of machine gunners and escort aircraft. The cooperation of these three players will enable us to gain the greatest air superiority, suppress the enemy's vital forces, and ensure that the crew can survive from the battlefield.
Oh god, they accidentally called it Battlefield 1942 in their own description.
Here I stupidly thought the practice of trying to pass off footage of a popular game as "actual" footage of a vaguely related game was confined to mobile games.
Either they copy-pasted the system requirements from somewhere else without caring, or this is a bad hack on top of being a rip and it's less optimized than a Derek Smart game.
I like how the store screenshots are on low graphics settings, gotta have an i5 and 1060 just to be able to play BF1942 at low settings apparently.
Rockets and gunpowder.
Well I mean, 1942 is technically abandonware though I'm pretty sure you can't sell Abandonware from IPs you don't own for profit. Good thing this is Tank BATTLEGROUNDS then and not Dice's smash hit Battlefield 1942 game.
Wow the series really let itself go after V's shitfuck

huh these Steam curators are p neat
Everything about this feels so wrong.
Even the recommended specs for crying out loud lmao.
About 10 years ago I remember watching a show about technology, can't remember what it was I didn't watch it often. Anyway, there was one episode about China and most of the episode was leading up to a big tech event in China where companies were showing off their newest stuff. The show followed the Minister for Technology (or something similar) and he said the show was a disgrace, he said he spent the entire day in there and every single thing he saw was just a cheap rip off of something from the West or Japan.
Chinese companies don't bother innovating, they can just copy what everyone else is doing a couple of years behind and sell to a captive market of over a billion. One of the reasons I'm worried about Chinese mega corporations moving out into the wider world is they have no concept of quality control and next to no ability to innovate. I have to wonder how many Chinese start ups with new ideas get bought up and destroyed by the big guys every year.
Aw man, shame it's not released, I won't mind having Battlefield 1942 in my Steam library.
""""Accidentally""""
The recommended specs are accurate, they plan to mine crypto during gameplay
Why would playing the game require making an account on some third party site or launcher, did they clone uplay too?

damn hippies parading around in their camper vans trying to ruin my WWII experience.
China is one big photocopier machine with the settings set all wrong.
I'd like to think this was just to test their acceptance system, like the time that one dude uploaded a blatantly fake speedrun.
My personal beleif is that communism strangles innovation. Their entire education system is build on regimented instruction.
While I get ya, Capitalism is trying to keep an ancient polluting power source alive, so I wouldn't chalk that up to the system as much as greedy humans in general.
China keeps building more coals plants. Funny, isn't it?
I still remember some mobile game using Age of Empires 2 screenshots and some other using Banished video footage for the trailer.
Mobile gaming is just junk like this.
They very likely just bullshitted the requirements.
Yeah, Communism. That's what China has, sure.
They are, but China is pretty capitalist at this point. They're just insanely authoritarian too.
Also, China is the world's biggest investor in renewable energy.

Though China might typically be viewed as a nation that is fond of coal, it’s become a growth leader in renewables in a remarkably short space of time. It’s already surpassed its 2020 solar panel target after having invested $86.5bn into the industry last year, and is expected to do the same for its wind power target in 2019. With multiple huge solar farms, and more solar projects scheduled for the coming years, China is indisputably a global leader in solar energy, and is fast catching up with hydropower, too, investing in new billion-pound projects in places like Nigeria as well as in China itself. With China innovating at lightning speed, it’s clear that growth in this area is likely to continue for quite some time, providing engineers with a healthy source of jobs for decades to come.
