A number of games, which include major esports titles such as League of Legends (LoL), Overwatch, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG), and Fortnite: Battle Royale among others, have reportedly been banned in China after they were found to have violated the country's social and ethical rules.
https://gamersantai.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/banneder-750x392.jpg The bans come following the establishment of the Online Ethics Review Committee by the Chinese government earlier this month. The committee was tasked with reviewing online games in order to establish whether they violate the country's social and ethical rules or not. There were 20 popular online games that were reportedly included in the first wave of reviews. Out of that number, 11 were made to take corrective action to address the committee's concerns. The companies whose games were included in the list have so far been silent on the matter. It is also unclear how the review will affect the esports industry in China, one of the biggest in the world, as several major esports titles were among those made to take corrective actions or facing outright bans. |
