Resident Evil 2 is banned in China, so shops are using hand-drawn art to sell it
Taobao is secretly offering games through code names like “First Day on the Job at the Police Station: Remake”

It’s no secret that China has a strict policy towards gaming. Like almost every form of content, it’s very picky about what is allowed to be shown in games -- which means no nudity, no gambling and definitely no blood and gore.
It’s not surprising that the Resident Evil 2 remake is on the blacklist. But what is surprising is how it’s being sold anyway.
Red Dead Redemption 2 gets rave reviews in China… from gamers who’ve never played it

While that one flat-out says Resident Evil 2, other vendors are giving the game a code name. This one, for example, is called “First Day on the Job at the Police Station: Remake”. Which is true! Resident Evil 2 starts with police officer Leon S. Kennedy heading into the city for his first day of duty, meeting college student Claire Redfield… and a bunch of zombies, of course.
