Wow! Fucked up thing is you've got people here in this country that would love to have more control over us as well.

For further research, look up a company called Tencent in relation to gaming in China. I believe China requires Tencent to own stake in any company wishing to distribute in China.

China also has a network of loyalists ready to review bomb an gaming content they don't agree with. Red Candle's "Devotion" was removed from Steam thanks to China: https://kotaku.com/popular-horror-game- ... 1832881001

I managed to get a copy because I bought it day one since their other game "Detention" was amazing. You can still buy it: https://store.steampowered.com/app/555220/Detention/
