Gamers in China are protesting by refusing to accept refunds for Monster Hunter: World
Hit title is even more popular after being pulled from Tencent's WeGame

Monster Hunter: World might be virtually crippled in China soon. But gamers are protesting by refusing to accept refunds for their copy of the game.
The sudden removal shocked gamers and industry watchers alike. While the Chinese government has cracked down before on content containing profanity, gore and pornographic elements, Monster Hunter: World doesn’t seem to fall into any of these categories.
Tencent pulled Monster Hunter: World from WeGame and offered refunds to buyers. The company gave gamers until next Monday to accept their refunds, and says it doesn't promise that servers will continue to operate beyond then. (It is possible to play Monster Hunter: World offline, but the game is primarily intended as an online, co-operative experience.)

But even though this would mean gamers would be left with a crippled version of the game they bought, many are defiantly holding on to Monster Hunter: World.
