Well, I kinda understand why - in a true communist game, picked up ammo would be evenly redistributed across all players (except the admin, they get 10x as much)

Prepare for the arrival of even more "Chaina numba one!!!!!" on NA servers. Good Luck.

Why wouldn't they ban the original movie?

A ban in China would pretty much kill the game. :v:
The main increase in active players is all Chinese.

I feel like this guy overestimates how much PC players play CoD, especially the types who play stuff like CSGO and PUBG.

There'll be a drop, sure, but plummet? I doubt it.

Actually the reason for the incoming ban was because Bluehole was able to fend off a buyout from one of the largest chinese gaming companies Tencent (whose has connections to the government).

Tencent already bought out a 40% stake in Epic, so Fortnite won't be banned

Just update the Chinese version so each player is a lone Chinese citizen and everyone else is Japanese, the Chinese government loves games about massacres against Japan.

Play against and spy on your neighbors! Fun for the whole revolution! :vs:
