Dharamshala, 12th September: True Colors is situated in the town of Haven Springs, where a shop called Treasures of Tibet is visible with a Tibetan flag flying above its entrance. That banner is a symbol of the Tibetan independence movement and is prohibited in mainland China, which is why it’s causing a stir among Chinese Steam users.
While the majority of its bad ratings come from Chinese gamers, the user rating remains Very Positive. One bad review claims, “The game contains elements of Tibetan independence, implying a split of China” while another argues, “Tibet is a part of China.” According to a third participant, “Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, and Tibet have been Chinese territories since ancient times. No matter how the obsolete think, they will eventually return to the mainland. I suggest that NEETs read more books, stop being stupid, and find a job to support themselves. Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, and Tibet is part of China forever “.
Devotion had previously been heavily review bombed by Chinese users due to a concealed allusion to a meme that linked Chinese President Xi Jinping to Winnie the Pooh. Similar instances, on the other hand, are not invariably politically driven. When Nier: Automata was released in Asia, it received negative reviews due to its lack of Chinese language support. The most popular language in Chinese is simplified Chinese, and China is Steam’s second-largest market.
Chinese players under the age of 18 are only allowed to play online games for one hour every day, from 8 to 9 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and official holidays, as of this month. Of course, an offline single-player game like Life is Strange: True Colors is unaffected by this.
