So I can write "Free Hong Kong, Revolution Now" on anything and it will be banned in China? BRB gonna take a marker and scribble on some bats and pangolins.

If the Chinese government is gonna ban every game with any degree of customization included as a feature, they've got a lot of work cut out for them.

Speaking of which...is Stardew Valley banned there yet?

I am really sorry but i have to post this:

Pls don't give me warns

So I’m gonna bet this has to do with the cheating on games is illegal deal in China. I say this because “Time Travel” is openly done in this game and is considered “cheating”.

The game was banned in China because you can crossdress.

DANTENDO · Apr 10, 2020

Can you eat the animals in the game if not then thts why it's banned

Bimmel · Apr 10, 2020

When you have whole virtual revolutionary movements being organized in the game, it makes sense to ban the thing just in case. Not to defend the practice, just saying that from the point of pragmatic dictatorship.

(also, bats and pangolins did nothing wrong :< )

Wasn't it Korea where cheating is taken super seriously? If anything, I've heard cheating in online games is somewhat common in China.

Joshua Wong creating pattern designs saying "Free Hong Kong, Revolution Now".

jUST curious, HK never enjoyed democracy as british colony prior 1997, They have such prosperity, and status as independent special administrative region of China cauz China gave them such right, Why those spoiled brats still complaining that much?

i heard they made laws for people who cheating in game like Overwatch or CSGO, to play those game players are required personal ID, and if you get banned, ur banned forever.

I would personally assume its because of all the protest memes i've seen posted already. But I have no idea.
Maybe China just hates all good things.

Axido · Apr 10, 2020

I'm sure it's just banned because it includes some bear that looks like Xi Jinping. I'm already trying to find out which one it is.

Probably both.

sux to live in china now they have a plague and nothing to play

lolz5521 · Apr 10, 2020

maybe because the game is talking about democracy when we choose the island name?

You can't be serious. This is dangerously close to the argument that, "Hitler did some good things for the German people." Calling people "spoiled" because they don't want every single one of their human rights trampled over...smh. There is no sugarcoating it, Xi Jinping is a dictator.
