Why would anyone ddos steam?
What happened with this game? What is the controversy surrounding it?
They forced unusual guidelines in the second half to influencers and streamers who have received a key from them.

Not following the guidelines has potential to damage relationships between them and the publisher. Affection existing and future access to pre release content / review content / sponsorship deals etc… . It potentially could damage relationships between others publishers as well.
Are those themes actually present in game, or is this another “please don’t hurt our feelings” from China?
The CCP has been doing a pretty big cultural push the past few years. You will see more of it’s as time goes on.
Nothing wrong with China and their culture, it is their vile government that is the issue. They were doing so well until Xi Xinpoohbear took over.
Big game media journalism site claimed the devs were sexist because of a poorly translated tweet. Devs ignored this drama and instead focused on promoting their game. Game media journalists got mad they were being ignored and continued to pump articles bashing the game for months before it’s release. Game releases, it’s good and people like it. Devs continue to ignore controversies and focus on marketing and promoting their game.
Idk how any of that ties into the DDOS if at all, but that’s the main controversy I’ve seen for the past couple months.
