      Are those themes actually present in game, or is this another “please don’t hurt our feelings” from China?

            Really? I’m pretty sure they never allowed owning another human beings unlike some other counties.

          They were doing so well until Xi Xinpoohbear took over.

          Are you sad that—only coincidentally during Xi’s term—you found out that “reform and opening up” was never intended to be nor was ever going to be the neocolonialization of China like you hoped? Things are largely going according to China’s long-term plan, that was laid out long before Xi.

      Are these really strange restrictions though? Don’t be an asshole, don’t be an asshole, don’t distract from the product that you’re reviewing with other crap, don’t use their product as a platform for politics.

      Why would streamers give a shit about game publisher guidelines?

        Not following the guidelines has potential to damage relationships between them and the publisher. Affection existing and future access to pre release content / review content / sponsorship deals etc… . It potentially could damage relationships between others publishers as well.

        It was guidlines for the prerelease and free copies, if you buy it yourself you do not need to follow the guidelines.
