News of the Weird: Chinese Online Anti-Corruption Computer Game Overloaded

Via China Tech News.

The official website of "Incorruptible Warrior", an online game which was jointly launched by Ningbo Haishu District Discipline Inspection Commission and Haishu District Ximen Street Party Working Committee earlier this month, has announced its shutdown.

According to a Donews.com report, the content of the website will be moved to other websites that have not yet been specified in accordance with a notice from relevant government departments.

The Chinese media report that attracted by the theme of the game, more users registered to play it than expected, which brought a heavy burden to the server that hosts the game. However, from the very beginning, some players criticized the game saying it was produced unprofessionally and the story was sparse.

It is still unclear if and when the game will open up again.
