GOG Walks Back on Re-Releasing Devotion, Pulls Listing from Storefront
Earlier this morning, Taiwanese studio Red Candle Games announced that its game,
Devotion, would be re-released on PC via GOG on Dec. 18 for $16.99 / €13.99. The game was pulled from Steam last year because it supposedly contained a message mocking General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party Xi Jinping. This led to its Chinese publisher, Indievent, getting its business license revoked by the Chinese government.
However, in a sudden turn of events, GOG stated that it would no longer be publishing
Devotion on its storefront. The exact reason is unknown, but it is speculated that GOG does not want to lose the ability to do business in the lucrative Chinese PC gaming market. Red Candle Games has not commented on this new update yet.
