Steam ban game due to Winnie the Pooh meme
The Woozles did this.
>autosage
quick rundown
>Indie taiwanese company include some memes and jokes about Xi Jinping and winnie the pooh
>Chinese nationalists freak the fuck out and start downvoting campaign
>Report and downvote all other games by the developer on steam
>Report steam and game to chinese censorship body
>Steam backs down at first contact and removes devotion from steam
>Developers now out of pocket as they can't sell their game anywhere
try searching devotion on steam store, the game has been erased
It was taken off by the publisher not by steam. There were multiple threads about this in february and march. Lynch yourselves, especially you and
steam didnt take it down though.
What's with china and winnie the pooh?
someone said their president looked like winnie the pooh and the character got banned
Grorious reeder has self image issues from what I gather.
傻老熊
This, publishers took it down not steam
China really fucking hates bears
when will they ban tank games desu
How thin-skinned can the gooks get over something as innocuous as Winnie the fucking Pooh? Their brains would boil alive if they were exposed to american memers.
Who was the powerful individual who was able to say something like that and get such an overreaction that they outright ban the character?
First off, Steam didn't remove it, the publisher did.
Second, I wouldn't really call it a joke/meme, it was a poster in one room in the game that said something like "Xi Jinping is winnie the pooh idiot". Just a straight up dis.
And to clarify about the downvoting, the Chinese are knee-bending insects that have an Orwellian "social credit" system which basically judges how worthy of a person that individual is to society, having a low score will cut you off from certain amenities like public transportation. The Chinese attacking anti-Chinese sentiments online is really common, because they hope they can earn some good-boy points by doing so.
I remember seeing some article about this chinese student who studied in America, and said how nice the air was, which was met by on onslaught of bugmen saying "FUCK YOU CHINESE AIR IS BEST AIR"
Most of them don't have anything against him, the "president" is just insecure as shit.
Like how putin gets so incredibly booty blasted if you say he's gay.
try doing some research before posting you absolute fucking retard
China is a hivemind, brain washed populous.
动。。。动。。。
Weirdest coincidence, I recall some controversy recently over some advertising company using this image and getting Chinese Weibo users mad. Weird coincidence you know?
>Like how putin gets so incredibly booty blasted if you say he's gay.
Or a manlet
Why the fuck would you take such a depressing story to shitpost against Steam? You're only belittling the real problems in question this way
When did that happen ?
