ngl I’d like to know how this article was written – and the dozens of similar articles I could find around.
It’s terrible, and the few details given are misleading. Here is a post (translated from the original) I found on chinese internet (Baidu) talking about the topic.
Chinese telecom giants Huawei and China Unicom announced the launch of the first 10G network worldwide, with download speeds of 9,834 megabits per second and upload speeds of 1,008 megabits per second. At the same time, the delay is only three milliseconds, which makes the network one of the fastest and most advanced networks in the world. 10G is coming, and the world is still catching up with 5G.
When most countries around the world were still worried about the coverage of 5G base stations, China had already taken the lead in opening the door to the 10G era. What does a download speed of 9.8Gbps mean? A 20GB 4K movie can be finished in 20 seconds. This kind of overwhelming advantage is like driving a J-20 to see others playing with paper airplanes. A delay of three milliseconds rewrites the rules of the game
E-sports players should applaud wildly at this moment-the delay of 3ms is faster than the speed of human neural response. Areas that require zero error, such as remote surgery and autonomous driving, are finally waiting for their “oxygen”. Ericsson’s best 5G record tested last year was 8ms, and China directly inserted the benchmark to the top of Mount Everest. Huawei’s millimeter wave black technology can’t hide it. The key to this breakthrough lies in the application of the 26GHz millimeter wave band. Just like expanding a single lane to ten lanes, Huawei’s AAU (active antenna unit) technology has greatly improved signal transmission efficiency. The U.S. FCC will not auction this part of the spectrum until 2022, and the technological gap is already clear at a glance.
Don’t rush to change your mobile phone. The 10G ecosystem has just started. Don’t rush to smash the 5G mobile phone in your hand. At present, the terminal equipment that supports 10G has not yet been mass-produced. Just like in the early days of 5G commercial use, no matter how fast the network ran, it had to wait for the terminal to keep up. However, according to the iteration speed of Chinese manufacturers, this transition period is probably shorter than the popularity of net celebrities.
The true portrayal from following the race to leading the way. In 2016, China’s 5G patents accounted for less than 20%, and China accounted for 40.3% of global 6G patent applications in 2023. This time the 10G commercial is like a beautiful shot back, making the narrative of “technological hegemony” more and more like a fantasy of self-comfort.
I have no idea, they’re saying they’re basing the deployment on Huawei 50G networks, sooo I think this is either the author who didn’t understand the assignment or a terrible translation?
Edit: well it seems like it’s 10G as in cellular. Every article is absolutely trash so I searched in Chinese and found this article (translated) which compares it to 5G and mentions the use of new wavelengths to transmit the data
Edit2: here is the full translated article since the linked translation doesn’t seem to work anymore

That’s not really up to them being nice though. If you sell something of value X for a margin of 10%, and the price increases to 1.5X, then the margins must apply to 1.5X.
It’s compounding for each element of the chain, so a 10% tariff would very much increase the price way beyond 10%, without anyone needing to be greedy about it.
Then, if you take greed into account… good luck
Mojang’s “stealing” started from at least the pistons in 2011, 3 years before the acquisition. Credit was given to the original mod author under “Additional programming”, and they did reuse the actual code from the mod
I don’t think it’s fair to call that stealing, for multiple reason:
- copyright of game mechanics should never be supported, if we serioussly consider this stealing then a lot of innovation will be completely hampered, and videogames will be subject to abuses worse than what exists in other creative industries. Copyright on game concepts would be akin to copyright on camera angles, special effects, etc…
- mods are only available on PC. Taking ideas from the community and incorporating them into the base game makes the content available for everyone, even vanilla PC players
- Mojang’s has been very decent with OG mod authors, often being assisted by said authors to incorporate their content into the game, see how they worked with the author of Mo’ Creatures, a mod for animals, to add the horse into the game
Accessibility is an extremely important topic and Elden Ring could absolutely be better in that aspect.
Difficulty, however, is unrelated to accessibility. Disabled people should be able to play difficult games – that’s what accessibility is about, letting people with disabilities experience the same content as everyone.
No. The Souls community is built over the shared experience of beating the challenging game we were put against. If difficulty was optional, the game wouldn’t be nearly as popular, as there wouldn’t be that common experience.
Maybe another shared experience would have allowed the game to garner a community, but then it wouldn’t be a soulslike, and soulslike as a concept would not exist. If that’s something that interests you, you can just play a game which isn’t a soulslike.
It reminds me of some Redditor who said they always instantly killed every single named companion in BG3 because they found the dialogues of said companions annoying. I have played BG3 for hundred of hours, but I don’t even think I played the same game as this person, and I think that if it was something a lot of people did, then there wouldn’t be a community around the game at all.
Like for BG3, where the central point is the story and the evolution of your companion as characters, Elden Ring’s has that defining element which caused the community to sprout, which is its fair but strict gameplay. If you remove that then all you get is one of those forgettable Ubisoft games, all the while completely destroying the community around soulslikes.
Steam and arrowhead both allowed the sale of the game in non-compatible markets.
No. Sony handles the publishing on Steam. Sony set the countries allowed for sale – neither Steam, which is only the platform, nor arrowhead, who did not publish the game, have any responsibility in the matter. You’re taking away blame from Sony which is the single culprit for that mistake
Oh yeah, considering the amount needed to level up & the amount they gained, they probably gained a few levels with that single fight
