Red Candle Games had recently proposed Devotion, a horror game available on Steam and edited by India event. A title that angered the Chinese government after the discovery of an easter egg comparison of its current president Xi Jinping and Winnie the Pooh. The game was later removed from Steam after a bombing review by Chinese players.
It seems that Xi Jinping still has not digested this easter egg since the publisher Indievent simply saw his work license canceled by the government of the Middle Kingdom. Political censorship that may put society in difficulty in the face of a controversy that has dragged on for almost five months.
Indievent accused of breaking the Chinese laws
Without giving further details on the exact reasons for the revocation of the work license of the publisher India event, the Chinese government evokes a breach of the laws of the Middle Kingdom.
The company will no longer be able to offer its games on the territory, while Devotion was at the center of a controversy in China for an easter egg mocking President Xi Jinping, comparing him to Winnie the Pooh. A man whom the leader of the Middle Kingdom only enjoys moderately. The character of Disney, present in Kingdom Hearts 3, had even been censored in the Chinese version of the title of Square Enix.
