A TOTAL of 39 games, most of which are single-player games developed overseas, will be banned from all domestic media starting tomorrow because they contain violent or pornographic content, the Ministry of Culture said yesterday.
Information technology and game websites, including 17173 and Yesky, have been told to delete all content related to the games, according to officials, who declined to be identified.
The games, including "Call of Duty" and "Grand Theft Auto," contain violent and pornographic content.
Such graphic content violates the country's Internet and game regulations, according to the culture ministry.
Most of the games are distributed in China illegally. Therefore the ban won't have a big impact on the game industry, analysts said.
"'Call of Duty' was popular several years ago. But that was at a time when there were no online games," said Alan Wang, a veteran gamer who lives in Shanghai.
