GENHIN IMPACT does not leave players write to Tibet, Hong Kong and Taiwan because of Chinese censorship

GENSHIN IMPACT is impacted by Chinese censorship worldwide, Kotaku Reports. Censorship acts as a way to prevent users from writing certain words in the cat in play, in accordance with Chinese rules.

Certain words are covered with asterisks as soon as they are written, and these include more sensible words on the political level like Tibet, Taiwan and Hong Kong, but even several which seem harmless. Among these, you can find "enemies", and even "words" themselves, probably because they could be linked to the act of censor the last internet sensation.

This is not new for games, because China has strict rules for the release of games on its territory. We discussed it with Animal Crossing: New Horizons, where the players had managed to obtain imported copies and to pass the word from the cause of Hong Kong through.

On Twitter, analyst Daniel Ahmad explained why and how it goes on human impact. Mihoyo is a developer based in continental China, and as such, he must comply with local rules to publish games.

These rules stipulate that games cannot contain "nothing that threatens the national unity of China," said the analyst. Taiwan and Hong Kong are excluded from the games because their only existence is considered a threat to national unity, and that is why they cannot participate in the games at all.

Mihoyo refused to comment on the issue, as planned. Despite these limits, Genshin Impact was welcomed with a warm welcome, because he generated $ 60 million during his launch week only.
