According to a report, Battlefield 4 has been banned in China. China.com The ministry of Culture of the People’s Republic of China stated that EA’s first person shooter was “an aggressive attack on it’s culture.”
A Chinese social media website Weibo has already banned searches for the game. According to a translated statement –“Ministry of Culture: Battlefield 4 is an illegal video game, with content that endangers national security. It is an aggressive attack on our culture”.
It went on to say “After the ban of Battlefield 4, we demand that all items related to the game – downloads, Raiders, patches and news – are to be deleted.”
The ban followed the release of ‘China Rising’, a DLC map pack that featured 4 areas set across mainland China. Battlefield 4’s story-line focuses mainly on an Admiral attempting to overthrow the Chinese govt to win the support of the Russians and start a war with the US. Well, I guess we can see why the Chinese got ticked off with this game. At the moment Battlefield 4 have put all further expansions on hold as EA is spending most of its time fixing bugs they encountered with the game upon its release.
