Oh, just another day which will live in infamy - another US company that suddenly and deliberately surrenders to market pressure from an oppressive government. Lifting the Little Red Book besides the prison door for a yuan - what a sight.
There were what - just two or three hotfixes over these 6+ years, including this one? The game is plagued with gameplay bugs, left for months and years to persist. But what deserves a hotfix in a hurry, just in a few days? A political sensitivity in an oppressive government controlled, but very, very and extremely lucrative market. In a game which has rewriting history in its core, for each and every of its leaders and civilizations - that's the whole premise, isn't it? To rewrite the history, many times over - that's the deal on offer, which we take, that's why we play this game, isn't it?
I guess, the tempest-tossed might be looking for a new place to call their home before too long, if this trend continues.
