Steam removed the game because it even up having anti Chinese writings in the game. [edit] Wasn't steam removed.

GOG announced that it was coming to their platform but is now "blaming gamers" that they didn't want it

A little late?

Wikipedia:

"On February 21, 2019, two days after the game's release, players discovered a fulu talisman decorating a wall in the game contained the words "Xi Jinping Winnie the Pooh"

Also, cowards.

Will they remove any game that has a swastika too, e.g someone painted it on a wall or whatever? Why would it mean that you even promote something. That's a really dangerous road for censorship.

False, Steam didn't do anything, the developer decided to take it down on their own. https://www.pcgamer.com/taiwanese-horror-game-devotion-has-been-removed-from-steam/

Quote:
Update: Roughly three hours after removing Devotion from Steam without warning, Red Candles has issued a statement on the decision:

"Due to technical issues that cause unexpected crashes and among other reasons, we are pulling <Devotion> off from steam store to have another complete QA check. At the same time we'd like to take this opportunity to ease the heightened pressure in our community resulted from our previous Art Material Incident, our team would also review our game material once again making sure no other unintended materials was inserted in. Hopefully this would help all audience to focus on the game itself again upon its return."

"a phenomenon."

Ya that whole apology just read of them getting review bombed and decided to pull it because of Chinese backlash. some crashing "among other reasons". It's obvious what the other reasons were.

Yes, but it's not Steam that removed it, that's my point. While in GOG's case, it is GOG that decided to not release it.

Unbelievable. Removing a game and bending over just cause a shitty dictator got his feelings hurt, and his brainwashed citizens were angry at you. Fuck China.

Lmao the replies to the tweet.
> "US gamers decided we dont want the game!"
This reminds me of something.. ah yes, yes, another representative of all GAYMERS:

It is very clear from your community commentary that you do not see things the same way that we, gamers, and the rest of the industry do.

They didn't even research the game before allowing it on their platform ? That's beyond stupid.
Oh and the irony of poles bending over backwards for a communist authoritarian regime again 30 years after they got rid of it themself. Rolling Eyes
