Shortly after reprimanding a dev for selling queer games in Russia, Steam has reportedly restricted the LGBTQ+ tag in China.

    Yet the LGBTQ+ content in Guild Wars 2 was still stripped out in China :/

      I’m not able to find any information on that, can you post a source? The closest I’ve found is GW2 just censoring LGBTQ+ content globally.

          Weird that thread’s no longer there on Tieba, but since I don’t play the game and can’t find any other reference I’ll assume it’s real. Foreign companies do tend to get the weirdest advice to pass NPPA and they were a lot more strict in order to encourage domestic competition even just a few years ago, like the ‘skulls’ censorship in blizzard games.

          I can say safely though there are plenty of Chinese made NPPA approved games with LGBT representation, just like there are plenty of skulls.
