After 2 years, a horror game removed for political reasons can be re-purchased

Perhaps many more will remember that the new game, Devotion, released in 2019 by the creators of the well-received Detention, is very serious – politically motivated – he went round. The Taiwanese company made the fundamental mistake of misrepresenting the Chinese president – to put it bluntly – Pooh (which is a red cloth to the leadership there, as many portrayed Xi Xin-ping as Disney’s famous fairytale hero) the inscription “MORON,” or idiot. In the West alone, this might not have seemed to anyone, various digital stores such as Steam and GOG have made the software immediately inaccessible in stores to the outrage of – primarily – Chinese “gamers” and have not been legally available since hunted down one of the ultra-rare boxed editions exclusively for the Taiwanese market (for which up to $ 5-800 was requested in some places at first).

Devotion, who received a very positive reception anyway, seemed to disappear into the sink, and for anyone who wants to try it, only warez remains the solution. Until now. Red Candle Games has announced that it has opened its own digital store – available at this address – where not only Detention but also Devotion can be purchased, one hundred percent uncensored, for PC and Mac at very discounted prices. : the basic version is $ 17, and the special edition with music is asking for 20.68 – so for that, we get a copy-free version for the money. The studio has announced that they plan to make their future releases available solely and exclusively from their own store – because (to quote) “here they don’t have to be afraid of being forced to buy for sale because of perceived or real outrage.”.

Devotion originally debuted in 2019, but then became unavailable in a few days.
