Will there be a Chinese region release on GOG (of course with English and other languages), that have all the weird and sometimes sick stuff, for whitch Larian was banned on TikTok, removed?
No posts in this topic were marked as the solution yet. If you can help, add your reply
you heard wrong about the tiktok ban but welcome back to the forum again

yes there will be Simplified language for china as is clearly marked on the store
Yes, but my question was not about language, but about content. I would prefer Chinese release in English. Chinese censorship is very strict regarding youth depravation.
assuming you already own the game then no its not censered... if China or Australia or any other country deside to wave their arms in the air and yell think of the kids then thats their right but it only effects copies not already sold by that point. besides people would simply mod it back again or use VPN to get around it

you could censer online content like Gforce but that would require two different servers and $ which someone needs to maintain so at this point the answer is still no
China's video games market is worth at least twice as much as USA's. If BG3 will be banned in China, it would be a big financial blow. Looking at Wolfenstein, GOG doesn't have problems releasing different versions of one title.

It's all speculation here, regardless. You can buy it now and hope, or wait until someone else finds out for sure.

As a developer, the easiest way to implement content censorship would be to turn on modesty filters by default, and ship the Chinese versions without the ability to turn them off. All of the content would still be present in the game files, though, so a clever modder could easily just go back and re-enable those options.

Making a completely separate build, with different cinematics, etc, for different countries, adds quite a bit of maintenance complexity. I'd imagine most developers would want to avoid such a thing.

That said - if you want an uncensored version in English, just use a VPN and pay in dollars to get a US version. Problem solved.
