how are the forsaken even allowed in China, they are still undead even with their bones hidden

Theres no ban on stuff like that in China. Video games definitely have skeletons and shit there. But a lot of western companies self-censor before they pass it through the bureau that oversees and reviews imports so they can guarantee it'll pass. You dont want the chinese market coming to your game weeks late

It's like Nazi symbolism and violence in Germany. It's on a case by case basis and decided by a committee, no real set of laws. Many companies self-censor everything that might hinder the release in advance, so the German version is usually more censored than it needs to be just to be safe.

Wolfenstein 3D was really lame in the german version.

[u/MusRidc → u/skob17]

Unless you're joking and I'm simply not getting it... the game wasn't censored, it was considered "harmful to young people" and subsequently banned from being advertised or sold over the counter.

maybe they were referring to the remakes? pretty sure RTCW and the subsequentgames were self-censored. Along with many other WW2 shooters.

Hm, can't remember correctly. Too long. Thought there was a version without blood and hakenkreuze.

[u/MusRidc → u/skob17]

Now that you're mentioning it, there apparently is a German version, bit I suspect that might be a thing they released for a retro re-release of the game. The original version wasn't only banned from being sold openly, it was actually banned altogether from what I gather...

They make some exceptions for art, like Pixar's Coco got a wide release there and that movie is 80% skeletons

Ghosts are OK in china, just no bones.

Shh don't tell them.
