      CCP has no "rules," just vague guidelines so that devs have to proactively censor everything, and they can ban your shit for anything afterwards anyway

        They don't "have" to do anything, and I listed two examples of games that didn't get censored. a bunch of people think this meme is some real law and that it's illegal for chinks to see these things, which is moronic and evidently untrue. This belief seems to be the only reason why the odd game ever gets censored like that over there in the first place.

          it's not a belief, just the very real fact that CCP can and will do whatever it chooses to do regardless of what the devs do or not do, there is no rule of law anyone can build an honest business out of, random CCP infighting destroyed their entire domestic game industry for no other reason

            Yes it is? People even talked about it ITT thinking it was real. The belief is that people think they banned depictions of the undead, which isn't true. Somehow you were too much of an ESL to see that and it doesn't even seem like you even know what you're talking about anymore.

    the idea they're shying away from mummies because china and not just doing another version of the same enemy as they've done dozens of times before is absurd and based in cultural ignorance. especially when they're walking possessed skeletons.

As a kid I remember going frick this when you drop into a room with them under the cabana with no way to know beforehand that they're even there.

    These gibdos are not less creepy than a zombie from the other games. It's like a demonic bug is using a dead body, zombie ant style. Even the "nests" look like mushrooms, probably because it was inspired by cordyceps. Instead of fungi they are evil bugs.
