The wall thread was closed up, wow. This one has been allowed legs to run? confusing policy.

But we are wargamers and this article is about an aspect that genuinely threatens the future existence of the wargames we play. It would be really interesting to hear Erik and co's take on this subject too.

Guys?

b) Censorship is based on popularity. Yes and that was exactly one of the points I made. You try and get a politician or 'celebrity' to stick his/her head above the parapet and ban GTA or Fortnite. It isn't going to happen - but military wargames? Yeah, easy target, less popular and so no problem.

China has banned a number of popular games. Don't know is Fortnite among them, but some other big names certainly are.

[edit]
In USA there has been several attempts against Grand Theft Auto series and those have failed spectacularly.
