CDPR Used "Winnie the Pooh" to Refer to Items Censored in Cyberpunk 2077's Chinese Version

From GameWatcher: "Publisher and developer CD Projekt Red may be in hot water yet again, as leaked Cyberpunk 2077 source code reportedly suggests that censorship flags used in the RPG's Chinese version were tagged with the name Winnie the Pooh.

A small reference to Winnie the Pooh previously saw horror game Devotion pulled from stores shortly after release. Since 2013, the cartoon bear has been used to mock Chinese President Xi Jinping which, as you can probably tell, doesn't sit all that well with the state's censors."

Time to pull a John Cena CDPR

ChrisW1089d ago

John Cena... Wow, I am super disappointed in his kowtow to the CCP. However, I loved that he called Taiwan a country!

Popsicle1089d ago

Hope they don’t apologize to Xi Jinping. I know he doesn’t like criticism because he thinks it makes him look week but can grow thinker skin.

OhReginald1089d ago

Lol f*ck cd projekt red for releasing cyberpunk 2077 way too early in a broken state. But I gotta say that's funny, I wonder if they will add this to apology list.

Cyberpunk 2077 Director On 95% Positive Steam Rating: "Never Thought I'd See It"

Cyberpunk 2077 has come a long way from being one of the worst games on the planet to being one of the best ones.

DustMan16d ago

I shelved it after a few hours in game at launch, glad I didn't refund it. One of the few games I've actually completed in the last year, and after finishing the campaigns I wanted to just jump back in from the start. They pulled a No Mans Sky and finished one of the best FPS in the last few years.

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

Kaii28d ago

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

anast28d ago

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM28d ago

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

gunnerforlife27d ago

Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.

S2Killinit27d ago

That game was just plain good game. It didnt improve, it was just good.

gunnerforlife27d ago

I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!
