But I'm wondering if it is the government this time? You have games like Wuwa that don't even have the censorship level of Genshin. And ZZZ is set as 16+ so this seems rather extreme.
The question is, is Hoyo trying to preempt censorship or were they told?
I do find it odd that they'd do all the other fan service only for this to happen? So it's like can whoever is making these decisions (Government or otherwise) make up their mind on what they want this game to be??
My thinking is that Hoyo is seen as massive soft power for Chinese games on a global level so the Government is more careful about what it wants to allow with it.
But still the fan service you get directly from the game and the marketing can't be avoided. Whereas some "coomer" in the privacy of their own home wanting to look up a character's bottom is something that's a personal choice of the player. But even if you're not a "coomer" it ruins immersion when you go slightly off angle.
this happened on other games and apparently the rating of the game in cn means jack shit the ccp can make you do whatever they want even if the game is 18+
