Hey, I liked the story, I liked that it was shared, a definition was explicitly asked for so I gave one.

It's not about politics, it's actually economic/industry

Alright. You asked for it. I consider it political because you mentioned government action, but if you want a definition:

politics (pŏlˈĭ-tĭks)►

n.
The art or science of government or governing, especially the governing of a political entity, such as a nation, and the administration and control of its internal and external affairs.

i know. censorship =/= politics. just look the world up real quick. "politics" is just a buzzword people use these days. it doesnt actually mean everything people use it for.

"story of a government essentially banning games"

Your definition of political and my definition of political differ.

[isturbo1984]

The article isnt a political one. Nobody is vying to take a political stance on a political subject. It's just an update to the story of a government essentially banning games. And it has tons of overseas implications as TenCent owns 40% of Epic Games, you know... the folks who own Unreal Engine and Fortnite. This isn't a political issue, it is an industry issue.

This is mainly economic in nature. The political ties is due to the nature of China's economy.

i'm not sure the extent we can post such content, but maybe if the responses are tame, the post will be allowed and kept to be viewed? idk, still getting used to the site

This is extremely interesting to me. Thank you for posting this. However, someone is probably going to delete this, because it's political.
