China loves the lingo of games (boingboing.net)

By all means, i like the view on how gamer lingo slowly takes foot in chinese language, but imho it should be read carefully.

This article gives nearly no evidence that this is more than a subjective view. Sorry, but 'my mother uses gamer lingo' and statements like this are supporting arguments but no evidence. They did manage to show off some market-related numbers, why not support the main claim?

This lack of evidence taints the reading experience.


It didn't taint the reading experience for me, as I wasn't expecting a peer reviewed research paper.

I viewed it as an interesting opinion piece.


Indeed, that was strong worded. I should have chosen better fitting terms to make that point.

Thank you for the reminder.
