I noticed that all these games are the usual heavy hitters with one notable exception; Dota 2. Very curious because dota 2 is definitely violent and has some scantily clad women (not as far as LoL but I don't think censors really care about differences). The reason this is curious is because China is Dota's largest audience and Valve has announced that TI9 will be held in Shanghai. Important to note that this is a huge tournament with the largest prize pool in all of esports (T8 was $25.5 Million). Recently Valve banned a player from participating in a tournament in China for making racist remarks towards the Chinese in a public match and many believe that this is Valve bending to Chinese interests. [1] Valve has also recently announced that they will be releasing Steam China after years of working with Perfect World as a middle man[2] . Valve has censored heroes and abilities to appease Chinese Censors and has been able to more or less keep it only on the Chinese Client.
