SWGOH will be banned in my country

Why is China banning the game? That seems strange.

you should look into it, they are not just banning this game. <> I also believe the end goal is to only have games made in country, but I'm not sure if that is all part of the same plan or a later or different thing.

a few years back that also implemented a plan to have all goods made in country, this is an extension of that plan. (on some grand scale)

Edit to fix poor wording

Ugh. How awful.

Sorry you're facing this, Millaboreus.

@Kyno

They are banning all games that have players interacting with players outside of china.

Good information, thanks, Kyno.

Censorship finds new ways..... congrats China ☹️

Sadly its not the only country trying to find ways to do this.

Vpn is the answer

There is always a way around it. It's sad though that China is becoming this way even more so

@Mephisto_style

Don't point fingers.

Of course point fingers. Refusing to point fingers is just refusing to acknowledge that anyone has any responsibility at all for anything. If the situation is complex and Trump's stupidity and trade wars are bad - and they clearly are - then point a finger at Trump or the US government or whatever. That's fine. Don't excuse the USA for its bad acts.

But even if we all agree, and I hope we do, that Trump's trade policies have been aggressively hurtful to many, including China, China still gets to choose how it responds. If it responds in a bad way, then you point fingers at China for whatever it is that they're doing wrong.

Identifying what is being done wrong and who is doing it are essential steps to creating a better future world. Choosing not to point fingers means nothing will ever change.

Let me explain roughly the notification for those who dont read chinese. It says swgoh (actually all games without ISBN) will not be available in mainland china's Apple appstore from June 30th. The current version downloaded from mainland china's appstore will be shut down after the next version update (around July 8th). So in the future players need to have a foreign (including Hong Kong) Apple ID to download this game. Also note that this only affects ios players.

Interestingly, this also leaks that any new game mode they're launching will probably be released on July 8th, if the client isn't changing until then.

Easy solution then. Get an android.

Can you translate what that notification says in English?

1. SWGOH didn't get an IBSN in China, which is a kind of license.
2. Players who are now using China Apple App Store won't get SWGOH anymore.
3. After May 28, these players are banned for purchasing in the game.
4. After July 8, these players are banned from the game forever, becasue they can't get an update in App Store.
5. If you wanna continue, you can download the game from a non-China Apple App Store then log in through the original Game Centre ID.
