Message: <blockquote data-quote="Myrdin Potter" data-source="post: 9358677" data-attributes="member: 6843593">There is no need to have an Asian only group of writers to work on a setting in Asia just like there is no need to for only people of European descent to work on other areas. You just need a writer or a team of writers that can write interesting material that holds together well as a game.The rabbit hole of enforced only people of the right blood can do it is a terrible road to go down. I speak more mandarin and have lived in Asia (Singapore and Shanghai) while many of my Chinese descent colleagues speak little to no Chinese and have never been to Asia. Why are they better than me? Even their experience as a minority is not exclusive. It is impossible to meet all requirements of all the different cultures in Asia, many of which actively dislike each other (which is way more evident in Asia which has less filters than we do).Some Chinese descent person from Toronto or Vancouver or San Fransisco is highly likely to have a different world view that some who grew up in China itself or one of the more established immigration areas in south east Asia.I would love more Asian settings and would love them to appeal to people in Asia. I don’t care if the whole team is from there.</blockquote>
