The inscrutable demands of Chinese censors have this time forced the revered Monster Hunter: World off the market, as Tencent has removed the game from its WeGame platform.
Occurring no less than a week after its PC launch, many are theorizing this act to be part of China’s staunch efforts to control the flow of information online, even that as worthless as the grind for crafting mats in a coop action RPG.
A statement from WeGame claims that “authorities” were being bombarded with a slew of complaints regarding Monster Hunter: World, prompting them to simply remove it from their store and issue both refunds and a $4 dollar coupon to buyers – those who already own the game however can continue playing it.
Elaboration on the complaints sent in and why Tencent obliged them have unfortunately not been supplied.
Tienanmen square, democracy, winnie the pooh, civil rights, etc., etc.
If you find a ching-chong in your games, make sure to copy/paste some translations of their heavily monitored terms so they can get a knock at their door.
Really feel sorry for the Chinese gamers underneath such bs policies from their corrupt government
It’s really strange because this game is very Chinese. The entire point is killing large endangered animals for their horns. Though then you use them to make armor instead of boner medicine.
China numba 1.
JK. Proving yet again China is a shithole.
I bet the reason is Capcom did not handover MHW source codes to chink govt “to be inspected”
that could possibly be the reason
