After being subtracted from Steam and GOG, the Taiwanese horror game Dedication is for sale again. Developer Red Candle Games has its own store with Dedication and his first match, Detention, both available in DRM-free formats, The edge reported.
The game was not available for purchase after being reviewed on Steam, following reports that it contained an image mocking Chinese President Xi Jinping with a controversial Winnie the Pooh meme. Red Candle Games apologized for the incident and said it was never intended that the image should appear in the final version. However, Chinese authorities revoked the business license of its partner in China, and Red Candle took the game off Steam just a week after it was launched.
Dedication would appear on GOG last December, but owner CD Project Red decided not to list it “after receiving a lot of messages from gamers.” Red Candle promised to keep trying to make the game available, and how it now finally got it right. “We hope to provide a direct and easy purchasing channel for players interested in our games,” the company tweeted.
