Ils sont forts ces Chinois !!

Experts working for China's General Administration of Press and Publication (GAPP) have found WoW to contain “unhealthy” content. The level of horror, blood and violence is apparently a risk to youths, causing them to violate social morals and commit crimes.

However, the part that claims WoW contains “a detailed description of how to make biological weapons” had me scratching my head... Are they referring to the Scourge plague? I'm sure we didn't get an ingredients list, or even mixing instructions. Maybe they're referring one of the many other biological weapons in WoW, like... um... Oh they all slip my mind right now.

Gapp director Song Jianxin explained that the cultural differences make the western version of WoW unsuitable for China,

“games transmit thinking and ideology. Wholly western things cannot be brought in directly, they must be modified.”

WoW closed down in China when the operator licence moved from The9 to NetEase in June. Hopes of a quick turnaround period were dashed when NetEase had to re-apply for permission to operate the game when the original application was delayed while the game was tested by the GAPP.

Existing account holders in China can currently play WoW on an open beta test while the most recent application is being processed. However, the game is expected to re-launch any day now.

Alors en plus du sang, des squelettes et du gore qui avaient forcer a modifier wow pour les chinois, la license actuelle ne revient parceque ... on peut soit disant y apprendre a faire des armes biologiques ! evidement, je me sens découvert, moi qui m'etait empressé de fabriquer la peste du fléau dans ma cave, les authorités même occidentales vont se mefier maintenant !

Ah joli oui

Encore que bon, pour l'ideologie bien occidentale qui passe dans le jeu, c'est assez vrai.

Mais ils ne connaissent pas notre uberfurher-manager-petit pere des peuples. Sinon ils diraient pas ça.
