So a couple days ago, the Shanghai Press & Publication Bureau finally gave an official response to the CN players who filed a complaint against Papergames (PPG) back in June. 

Basically, they confirmed that once the whole () drama started blowing up around the 28th, they didn’t just sit around—they teamed up with other relevant departments, launched an investigation, and called Papergames in for a meeting. During that meeting, they s told PPG to take player feedback seriously, actually own up to their social responsibilities, tighten up their content review process, stick to proper values, keep things culturally appropriate, and—you know—actually deliver decent content to players. 

And sure enough, the day after that meeting, PPG put out their apology. Days later, they canceled the new character drop and gave out compensation to affected players. 

Now fast forward to today—people have actually received a physical, stamped, official copy of that reply from the bureau. 

Why does this matter? Because for a days now, () stans have been running around saying the original email was fake or meaningless since it didn’t have an official seal. Their logic? No seal = not legit = Shanghai gov still has Papergames’ back and () is totally cleared and could come back anytime. 

Well… this pretty much shuts that down. With an actual official seal now, it’s confirmed that the government not only investigated and pressured PPG, but they’re also still keeping an eye on them. Most of us already knew () wasn’t coming back, but this really drives home just how far this whole thing went—and shows it wasn’t just angry fans yelling into the void
