Recently, the government of China implemented a crackdown against “Negative MMORPG”. Maybe you are not familiar with the Negative MMORPG, but you must know the games like Second Life, Left 4 Dead 2, Grand Theft Auto, Crime Craft more or less. To some extent, these games all focus on the negative activities of real world, such as sex, beating, killing, looting, rap... In a word, you can enjoy the shock of the content that is considered illegal or immoral in real world.

The official government news agency of China, Xinhua, announced that the Chinese Ministry of Culture has outlawed online games with "gangster" themes or featuring "mafia-like gangs."

"These games encourage people to deceive, loot and kill, and glorify gangster life. They are a bad influence on youngsters," read a statement issued by the Ministry. The statement went on to say that games embracing "mafia" and "godfather" culture are forbidden because they "advocate obscenity, gambling, or violence" and "undermine morality and Chinese traditional culture."

In some countries, government has said NO to “Negative MMORPG”: Australian have banned World of Warcraft and Second Life; German Govt. will Stop Censoring Violent Games; and even WOW(CN) containing too much bloody content faces update delay...

In the fierce banning storm, who will be the loser? Players? Game developers? Or the government? Maybe you have your idea...
