Blizzard Awaits China's Approval For WoW Relaunch
angry tapir writes "The relaunch of World of Warcraft in China, where it has already been offline for six weeks, still faces an indefinite delay as it awaits government approval for its content. Problems for Blizzard Entertainment, the game's creator, started when it switched to a new local operator for World of Warcraft in China, online gaming company NetEase. New operators of foreign games have to submit the games for government approval, and China has objected to some of the content it found in its latest review of the game."
China. Pssht. They probably couldn't get more than 1% of the population to play and at $15/month...that's only...um...$150,000,000. A month.
Allrighty let's get China on board here! Start bringing in those tax dollars! (Blizzard does pay income tax for something like this?)
The Chinese Communist party got tired of people taking their candles.

They need to check exhaustively, I'm sure out there somewhere is Fizzle Sparksprocket, a fire mage gnome who contributed to the overthrow of Gnomeregan, and who immolates himself periodically in worship of an Old God.
