Microsoft has just released a new one Flight Simulator. Players around the world enjoy the game – save for China.
Last one Flight Simulator came out on Steam in 2014, and that version came out earlier in 2006. But this latest edition did not make it to China.
As South China Morning Post reports, the game is not approved for sale in China, even though you can fly above the Forbidden City and CCTV headquarters.
“I think it’s a mix of issues with publishing licenses and the content of the game,” said Daniel Camilo, a business game developer at Apptutti in China.
‘Since the game allows it [players] to travel virtually all over the world and inspect many locations ‘in detail’ (particularly airports), which could potentially cause a lot of content issues for Chinese regulators, [such as] flying over Xinjiang, Taiwan, and how those regions would be identified. ”

As SCMP notes, it may also take a long time for a game to be approved for release in China. However, players in the country are still playing the game by changing them region in the Microsoft Store.
