Video game YouTuber Asmongold documents some interesting behavior in the new video game Marvel Rivals: It censors your text messages if you try to say anything critical of Communist China.
Marvel Rivals is a “third person hero shooter” that’s just been released featuring Marvel characters. Unusually in a year in which AAA video game titles lost the companies releasing them big money due to gamers rejecting them for being woke, Marvel Rivals has garnered generally good reviews.
Like many games, it has a chat system. But testing other reports on the game, Asmongold verified that it will not let you post such messages as:
It flags all these as “text contains inappropriate content.”
I’m sure it will come as no surprise to you that Marvel Rivals was developed and published by Chinese developer NetEase Games for Marvel Games.
Remember, when you subcontract IP development to China, you’re importing censorship…
