@atropos148 most likely not following the strict government regulations and/or refusing to implement certain controlling features etc.
The list is huge when it comes to government certification for releasing and maintaining games published in China.

#Blizzard and #NetEase suspending game services in China.
This includes World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, Warcraft III: Reforged, Overwatch, the StarCraft series, Diablo III, and Heroes of the Storm.

Sad but not surprising at all looking at all the restrictions and GAPP freezes through the last years in China🫡

Let's talk about Season sales on #Steam and check out how our games performed between Steam Global and Steam China.

Since we’re in a unique position where we have titles on both variations of the platform, I wanted to share some insight.

#TheGameAwards are upon us!

It might not drive any traffic now but eventually, things will change. On the plus side, you’re able to release on other platforms with a much bigger audience, like WeGame. And it makes it a lot easier to get some exclusivity deals in the region.

You’d think that would have massively tipped the scales into #Steam China’s favor and we would’ve sold way more copies.
But no.
The sales amounted to a whopping 1%.
Where sales in China on regular Steam were around 66%

For the whole duration of the Summer Sale we were always on the front page of #Steam China and main banners.

On regular Steam, we didn’t get any special feature for Lost Castle, besides the places the algorithm decided to push it.
