Why would anyone ddos steam?
Microsoft unhappy about competition and trying to tank during a new release?
What happened with this game? What is the controversy surrounding it?
They forced unusual guidelines in the second half to influencers and streamers who have received a key from them.

Are those themes actually present in game, or is this another “please don’t hurt our feelings” from China?

CCP has been fucked up and backwards since it’s inception.
Which is so shicking after such a great leap forward. /s
Really? I’m pretty sure they never allowed owning another human beings unlike some other counties.
They were doing so well until Xi Xinpoohbear took over.
Are you sad that—only coincidentally during Xi’s term—you found out that “reform and opening up” was never intended to be nor was ever going to be the neocolonialization of China like you hoped? Things are largely going according to China’s long-term plan, that was laid out long before Xi.
This is weird.
Why would streamers give a shit about game publisher guidelines?
Not following the guidelines has potential to damage relationships between them and the publisher. Affection existing and future access to pre release content / review content / sponsorship deals etc… . It potentially could damage relationships between others publishers as well.
It was guidlines for the prerelease and free copies, if you buy it yourself you do not need to follow the guidelines.
Are these really strange restrictions though? Don’t be an asshole, don’t be an asshole, don’t distract from the product that you’re reviewing with other crap, don’t use their product as a platform for politics.
Big game media journalism site claimed the devs were sexist because of a poorly translated tweet. Devs ignored this drama and instead focused on promoting their game. Game media journalists got mad they were being ignored and continued to pump articles bashing the game for months before it’s release. Game releases, it’s good and people like it. Devs continue to ignore controversies and focus on marketing and promoting their game.
Idk how any of that ties into the DDOS if at all, but that’s the main controversy I’ve seen for the past couple months.
