They should, but the question is if they made any money in China this year and whether or not their data was shared. Read more

The safety net's much better than say mainland China's. Though therein lies the problem, we're comparing it with a developing country. But HK education and healthcare are considered good.

They are definitely doing this so they don't do anything real with the money. I bet the money's going up the river.... Read more

The list is from 2011. Saint's Row the Third and 4 are probably banned but not specifically called out. Read more

The three aren't a hat trick. If a game promotes gambling, it is in violation of China's laws and regulations. Drugs are too.

In regards to putting China in a bad light, that's determined by individual censors. Read more

yup - the ban is just a stupid way for the communist party to cry foul. It's no where near enforceable in a country devoid of copyright protection and net savvy city dwellers. Read more

Well GTA 5 makes sense. Since at one point they start saying things about the Chinese even though its only a tiny slight.

Just portraying China in a badlight, many of the above mentioned games don't even touch on China.

As to super violent games, China's own home grown game "The Glorious Mission" is super violent and… Read more

I'm not sure how Steam works in China. It just does. Some of the games are available for purchase on Xbox Live too. PSN links you to whichever country you tie your account to. Read more

Kotaku is not banned in China. It's occasionally blocked on some service providers and occasionally experiences outages. Read more

someone on this thread who is grayed out mentioned that the rural area of China doesn't suffer from "Family" planning.

Unfortunately I'm unable to un gray him out which is strange, but at the same time his comment was slightly offensive so I don't feel inclined to contact IT.

China's rural country side isn't subject to… Read more

black denotes completely illegal, whereas gray is more along the lines of say Flea Market shady. Many of what appears in China's gray market are imports that escape the tax man. They are sold under the pretence of "resale". Though that isn't so much the case anymore... but yeah, even if something's banned it can… Read more

so...does that mean you guys want to watch me eat food while my hairy manly asian man boobs sweat through my hoodie???

Theyre Korean made games! But they're Chinese in the sense that in China these games are touted as Chinese games, because 1) Tencent or x company paid boat loads of money for 2) Tencent or X company now owns the game 0r they have some kind of weird liscencing deal. Read more

That was 2012! Read more

Well the trend right now is that Chinese companies are paying Korean and Japanese and even Western companies to create games for the China market. BandS for example happens to be Korean made and launched first but the Chinese one is considered an upgrade.

I know what your getting at but domestically created games… Read more

You can play them in China without a Korean SSN. but you'll need a Chinese SSN. Read more

I mean...Some of these games are getting to the point where you can say that they're good without giving it the China multiplier Read more

I don't know...You're on Kinja! And you're writing on Kotaku...You're a writer too!!! (>^_^)> Read more

I like Bioshock too. (totally fishing for some love here) Read more

Super Recommend! Thanks for doing this! Read more

I put three as a safe guess, China had to be in the top three. I was thinking that North Korea would be first since that's all they do.

China's massive draft program is a joke. With the one child policy, Chinese people aren't very pro war. No matter how much public anger or frevor is brought up in China, if the angry… Read more
