the dev was listed as the publisher already

yeah

now they have to publish it on steam again

Devs are allowed to self publish

it's funny how an easter egg cause the entirety of china to chimp out

getting the government involved

*Worst of all, however, is that the game is very suddenly no longer available for sale on Steam. Red Candles said in an updated statement on February 23 that it had been removed from Steam China, but as of today—literally while I was writing this, a little after 2 pm ET on February 25—it's gone from Steam completely.*

I'd rather not pirate something from a developer I trust.

its not like youre taking away money from them

and will have the ability to buy when/if it gets rereleased

I'll wait till it's up again, if they can get something to work out. It's fucking dumb that their publisher chimps the fuck out

Along with Chinese government

🤔

It's a fucking easter egg kek

They called Xi Jinping dumpling 😢

so rude

I dont like horror games

Should've included a Tiananmen easter egg

so I'll just cheer them on

I pirated it and it was too spooky 10 mins in

I deleted it

but it does feel a lot like china

or taiwan

Taiwanese are based

they're good people

I hate spoopy games

Well not downright hate but don't enjoy them

Which still, this whole situation is dumb, why when you have a Chineese publisher would you include an easter egg that mocks chinks

Even as an easter egg

Maybe they actually were placeholders like their excuse said

but they never bothered to replace or didn't expect chinese to play/read them

But there are much better options for placeholder arts

what's wrong with calling xi jinping a dumpling

Unless it was placeholder and just a case of dumb foreigner not bothering to know what those moonglyphs mean

Their newspaper one was more subtle than the Winnie the pooh

why do chinks defend xi jinping anyways and think an attack on him is an attack on china

even chinese people themselves hate him

Because that one said Dumpling arrested

Patriotism taken too far

If they receive the call to shit on a product they do

This usually happens on their news programming
