Earlier this month, the Chinese government established the Online Ethics Review Committee. The committee was established to review games and censor content that the government sees as unethical or deemed harmful to young people who play online games. According to a post from reddit, the committee has reportedly reviewed twenty games and has banned popular games like Fortnite and PUBG for blood, gore and vulgar content, while others such as Overwatch, League of Legends, and Diablo are
being requested to alter the games content to meet the committee’s standards for sale
in China.

Although neither the Online Ethics Review
Committee nor game developers have
confirmed the accuracy of the list, concerns
are rising in the gaming community that
game companies will begin to develop
future titles to meet the demands of the
Chinese government's policies and censor
products.
