Title: China bans import sales of Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Post by: Redaktion on April 10, 2020, 18:56:51
Import sales of Animal Crossing: New Horizons have been halted and banned in China. Though the reasons for the ban are still unknown, a likely cause is the use of the game's online features by protestors to speak out against the Chinese Communist Party.

Not surprising, but still disappointing. Almost every English news media outlet you can name (including the English version of some news sites native in other languages) is blocked by the GFC, what's a few more games?

Sadly, this is the reality of China. There are three Switch games officially available in China. Three.
