China bans Battlefield 4

EA’s been making a habit of pissing off some high profile US enemies lately with their Battlefield series. Maybe next they can poke North Korea with a stick and dare them to do something about it.

The Chinese government has officially banned first-person shooter game, Battlefield 4, calling out Electronic Arts (EA) for developing content that threatens the country’s national security.

It also accused the U.S. game developer for depicting a form of cultural invasion, according to a PCgames.com.cn report Friday. China’s Ministry of Culture issued a notice prohibiting all materials related to the game in any form, including game downloads, demos, patch downloads, and news reports.

Set in the year 2020, Battlefield 4: China Rising features a fictional war in China triggered by Admiral Chang with plans to overthrow the current government. His success will be supported by Russia, but will bring China to war with the United States which relationship with the Russian is tensed. The game showcases the U.S. military’s fight against the coup and Chinese Liberation Army.

The ban confirms previous predictions about the fate of the EA game in China, after an earlier report in state-run newspaper China Military, said Battlefield 4 “smears China’s image” and was a new form of “cultural invasion”.

If a country goes as far as to outlaw a game that isn’t even legally sold in the country you know they are angry.
