It's about time the degenerates at Kotaku and Polgon get a taste of the censorship they've been trying shove up everyone's ass for the past decade. We told them this would happen and they didn't listen to us. My only complaint is they'll probably prevent games that allow you to assault and murder alphabet freaks. Censors aren't known for their subtlety.
It would be extremely easy to fix that char. I bet that it was intentionally done like that so they can edit a few text lines to make it passable in China.
The lack of moral choice is obviously the only bad thing, but I can fully understand why they would try to prevent it. It's bad because anything in a video game can be seen as a "moral choice" if you try hard enough. Is killing goombas a moral choice? You never have to kill them. Obviously it wasn't intended by the developers, but that choice does exist. Trying to prevent people from morality in games simply means that games that give you too much freedom will be attacked, which limits the scope that games can have.
The Chinese government thinks they can bruteforce their way into solving these complex problems. At the very least they are trying to solve the problems, which is more than I can say about many Western countries.
WoW has been changed for years in China at this point. No skeletons upon rez, instead you get gravestones. No bones showing on undead, elbows and knees instead edited to be more covered, etc.
This will however affect all the dumbfuck changes various woke devs are pushing into the game right now that is doing nothing but pissing off the remaining player base.
The Metro games have moral actions and deeds you can do, but short of maybe 2-3 instances they never present you with an outright moral choice to your face.
Still, after Exodus I'm not too optimistic about the future of the franchise as-is.
The issue with Exodus can be summarised simply by saying that it took too many steps out of its niche and into the broad, generic, open-world games we've seen done a hundred times before.
It's not outright bad but it fails miserably at being a good Metro game. The world is much less interesting than the Moscow Metro (which had the chance to be fleshed out significantly in the books), and the story is so dumb that they (spoilers for Metro 2035) ran with a story and reason which Artyom pokes holes in in the book and which turns out to be a quickly-thought-up cover story for what's really going on. Not that it really matters as after the first half hour it just drops you into an "open" world, lets you waste more time walking around with nothing to do than actually doing anything interesting, then a few hours later just rinses and repeats.
If you really need your Metro fix then there are worse sequels in the world of games, but I consider Exodus to be the Fallout 4 to 2033 and LL's Fallout 3 and New Vegas - a lot of the magic is gone.
I have Exodus on my wishlist, what made you dislike it? First two games were pretty great. I actually liked the corridor-shooter aspect of it, so whilst I am not too thrilled about it being more open world that alone didn't deter me.

Promotion of faggotry has a negative influence on society as a whole. I would say the happy medium is to make any games that have homos 18+ and no marketing them to minors.

This.
NO GAME rated E or E10+ should include any of that, and I would even venture to say games rated Teen should be excluded from including any references to or themes around same-sex relationships. Because kids don't need to be bombarded with content themed based on abnormal and aberrant behaviour. Unless it's honest about the harms, dangers, and social degradation that comes along with said behaviour (i.e., a mystery game where someone gay is killed, and it turns out it's an elaborate life insurance plot because they actually had aids and that wasn't covered in the policy).

That's basically the entire point of Postal 4.
Bioware and Obsidian on suicide watch.
Is the trans status mentioned in game? Or just in outside of game stuff that can be left off the Chinese websites?

Based commies?
It might be funny if the quest for Chinese box office returns causes Hollywood to abandon "woke" shit...
I doubt they would abandon it, they would just make it easy to cut out, as they have in the past.
Warcraft banned in China lol.
Just as developers were shoehorning in all sorts of faggotry.

Was Exodus bad? I've got it in my backlog.

Whelp, I guess that does it for Kerbal Space Program.
Good, Good, oh shit.
Well at least the new games won't having chinese gold farming spam bots.
Based (though I still hate China).
Are they banning "moral choices," or "absurd black/white choices/thematics that make no sense?"
Remember, Teagan was right.
No c&c sucks but the rest are okay.
Exactly this. It was entertaining once in a while, but who the fuck wants to play as a Mary Sue??
I'm sure there are more than a few trans weirdos that get off on this.
Seemingly every fucking new AAA game has a female protagonist now. I'm over it b
