A Taiwanese horror game has been removed from Steam following a controversy surrounding Winnie the Pooh and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Devotion was removed from Steam after users found an in-game meme mocking Xi, according to The Verge.
An in-game poster reportedly says, "Xi Jinping Winnie-the-Pooh moron," an apparent reference to internet memes that have long compared the Chinese president to the famous cartoon bear. It remains unclear if this was the exact reason the game was removed.
Chinese censors have repeatedly banned content linking the president to Winnie the Pooh. According to Business Insider, the Oscar-nominated Disney film Christopher Robin was recently banned because of the memes.
