[Report] China’s Gaming Ban List Revealed; Fortnite & PUBG On It
Sucks to be a gamer in China, especially if you love battle royale shooters. It also sucks to be a publisher whose games rely on the burgeoning Chinese market for that sweet player base number.
So it’s rather telling that someone on Chinese gaming forum NGA (via Reddit) chose to leak a ban/to-be-banned list made by China’s official online games ethics committee.
True, the list may not be confirmed since it’s from one source, but it does paint a picture of how China handles game bans and games that have banworthy content.
The following games require corrective action to still be sold and distributed in China.
What does it mean by “game visuals promote incorrect values”? That they’re not stereotypical enough or not adhering to communism values?
The following games are on the ban list along with the reasons why they’re on the ban list.
PUBG, Fortnite, and Tencent & Netease games will be taking a hit in their player base numbers because they’re made out of, you guessed it, Chinese gamers. It seems that the battle royale games on the list are the prime target for bans, either because the market for these games are huge or the genre needs curbing from the country.
What does this tell us about the China gaming market? Is it in trouble? Who knows, but the market’s going to be shaken up with news like these.
