I just read some Steam reviews of the new game Mount and Blade Bannerlord, and was surprised to read that apparently, Chinese censorship now applies to people in Europe and America. Is this true?
The review said:
"When you purchase a product, you do not expect to get banned from multiplayer for violating chinese censorship rules. This includes having the "incorrect" steam ID. This affects accessibility of a game feature and hence is a relevant buy consideration.
TW has made some claims to invistigate it, but so far without any further results. TW mods here on steam forums have just purged a thread (instead of at least locking it with a comment why) which called for attention regarding this censorship. Note also, the discussion there was surprisingly calm without getting overboard.
I am glad to remove/change the review when this issue is settled the only possible correct way. "
