The9 have been trying for almost a year to get the game released in China, but the censor boards have been very iffy about letting it go through; something vague about the representation of bones and gore. When you have an expansion almost entirely centred around zombies and skeletons and all that jazz, things get complicated. It makes perfect sense that they would give the title to a company that's actually going to get it released. It’s a little more complicated than that.
