A few months ago I gained access to the Chinese version of Roblox and tried communicating with users living behind The Great Firewall. Cultural and language barriers quickly collapsed as we discovered we have way more in common than previously realized.
On September 1st, 2021, the Chinese Government introduced new gaming regulations that required all games to verify the identity of their players through China's National ID system, making Luobu inaccessible to foreigners. All footage was recorded before this date.
Special thanks to Waisenchun, DoubleHexagon, Hanako, NotesInBetween, SingleDog and hugoyie for helping organize the interviews.
