Both have lived (live through fake) Communism, thus increased critical faculties.

I don't really get it, is he actually considering doing anything about it? Removing language support? I thought the Chinese mobs review-bombed games for less.
As for Russians, my impression is that there's a fan-made translation with how-to instructions on every single Steam community. And I wouldn't be surprised if it's 20% less positive across the board, Stardock or not, translation or no translation. Probably because Russians justbitch and moan after being spoiled on pirated games have higher standards and no patience for pleasantries.
Or is he suggesting just blocking countries from accessing the games altogether? Could just split eastern versions off to a separate store page ghetto, like some publishers used to do when regional pricing was first introduced.

Yes, that kind of humor was what I was comparing the Tywom to. This is a rather benign kind of humor, even if one specific person on your image obviously fails to find it funny.
The Tywom on the other hand plays with a deliberately creepy humor. On GalCiv III, I have seen people who complain about how it makes fun of the tragedies of war, or of eating other people. Obviously, not everyone finds this funny, as some just see the creepy or the horrible side of the tale. I wonder whether Chinese have even more aversion to that kind of humor.

I remember him saying that he is not good at people skills. He should probably let someone else look at the situation.

Because their language is fundamentally different. Ever tried learning Chinese?
Truth be told, English comes as hard to them as Chinese comes to us. As someone who's been to China, seldom have I encountered people who speak decent English. Even on airports where it's a must. They mostly don't care about it. Good Chinese translators (especially live interpreters) are very, very rare to come by.
