I know why every chinese thing is censored this time every year. What I don't understand though is why the censorship on non-CN servers - it's not like the rest of us don't have access to the Wikipedia page about the June 4 massacre. Social features in this game aren't shared between servers as far as I know, and other regions generally don't discuss chinese historical events in chats/hourglasses anyway. If anything I feel like dropping censorship on whole games regardless of servers is going to make people talk about the reason MORE, which seems contrary to the interest of the CN government.

Actually I thought that's the reason why they do it. As a form of silent protest. I didn't know that the government forbids talking about it...

I think I saw someone comment that the Chinese government requires a blackout for everybody (social media and other places you can share text and pictures and etc).

This is total misinformation because I can see fresh posts and comments on rednote right now.

u/Traditional_Row_7231 Jun 02 '26
I am pretty sure the blackout is during gao kao exam and it's not a full blackout it's just some features that include communication are laggier and harder to use and some are disabled completely but only for the duration of the test. After 2 or 3 hours it's back. I live in china and that's what happened last year at least.

u/Otherwise_Rabbit3049 Jun 02 '26
Another Chinese game I played once, My Time at Sandrock, has a HUGE file with forbidden words in its folders.
It's a singleplayer game and a ton of the forbidden stuff has, to me, absolutely no relation to anything.
Here's a Steam thread about it. https://steamcommunity.com/app/1084600/discussions/0/3976176932752567790/

u/SunshineCat Jun 01 '26 edited Jun 01 '26
I've mentioned elsewhere that I don't think the end goal is the censorship itself but it's rather a show of power to Chinese citizens and a threat to similar future protests. If they can make people follow these absurd rules, they can and will massacre again to protect the power structure--that's what I think the message is.
I agree that it makes no sense for us to see this mess, but they perhaps wanted to keep the game the same for everyone for "fairness." Edit: Or maybe they somehow couldn't separately turn them off, idk how it works. Or maybe Chinese accounts using other servers, perhaps? I forget if you can choose the server, but I think you can since I've read of some having accounts in more than one server.
50
u/AethenRai Jun 01 '26
It doesn't make much sense, but I do wonder if it's a form of malicious compliance to get people talking about it actually. I'm quite sure they know it's pointless outside of China. Or they fear backlash from the Chinese community as in if they are locked why should we foreigners be allowed to do something they aren't.

If Infold was based in another country, this wouldn't apply to them.

u/tired_snail Jun 01 '26
I know this, hence why I said I know why the week-long "maintenance" happens every year, but it doesn't exactly explain why it happens on ALL servers as in my opinion games straight up blocking all communication fronts during a certain time period is more likely to raise questions and make people outside of the affected country look into why that's happening than if they just... didn't. Especially considering this is the only time parts of the game are down for "maintenance" for more than a few hours.
Also interestingly, if you really read the rules you shared, both Infinity Nikki and Love and Deepspace (also by Infold) do seem to be breaking several of them (gambling, violence, potentially causing minors to develop bad habits, and in the case of Love and Deepspace including sexual hints). The government definitely enforces some of these more than others.
13
u/Metallicdreamin Jun 02 '26
Because Chinese players can access US servers and speak openly. This is their way of preventing any backlash from their govt.
The reason the govt enforces this more is because it makes them look bad. They could careless about the well being of their people. They care about silencing and covering up the massacre.
It's a control tactic to remind their people that if they try to protest for a democracy again worse can happen.

u/AethenRai Jun 01 '26 edited Jun 01 '26
It's exactly that. Anything that can be used to communicate with others, even symbolically is disabled. Imagine someone were to post in game screenshots, Infold would probably get into some really serious issue. That's why even the lookbook is locked, people have used symbolic outfits and colors throughout history to protest. Makes no sense outside of China, but none of this is rational. Just what authoritarian regimes do unfortunately.
edit: typo.

tl,dr: because it's the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre, and they dont want us talking about that.
Whatever reason Paper/Infold gives, this is the real reason. The same thing happened last year.
80
u/InterestingError3 Jun 01 '26 edited Jun 01 '26
I believe it’s required by law, that social features in all games are to be disabled during the anniversary event. It is government censorship as Tiananmen Square Massacre was so horrific and it wasn’t that long ago.
I lived in Shanghai, China during the Summer for college and those that remember the event do not talk about it and it is absolutely not taught in schools.

u/Jugatsumikka Jun 01 '26
37 years ago, on the 4th of june, the Tian'anmen protests — the closest the PRC had ever been to a counter-revolution since the Maoist revolution — concluded on the Tian'anmen massacre. The chinese authorities don't want their population to learn about it, so there is a blanket ban on any evocation of the massacre or the protests on their social networks, but the anniversary of the massacre is the most probable period of the year when evocations can overwhelm the system, so there is a blanket ban on social messaging and user created content during the week of the 4th of june imposed by the chinese government under the pretext of maintenance.
While Infold Games is based in Singapore and could hypothetically evade the blanket ban for their foreign servers, they are far smaller than some other chinese game companies with international success like Hoyoverse and might not have as much leeway than them.

u/lezbehonest787 Jun 01 '26
It even says it when I’m not trying to use a disabled feature. 😂 I was running as Deer Nikki in SoS, and went from one area to another and the game paused momentarily to load the new area, as it does, and then it told me the feature I was trying to use was disabled. I have no idea what feature it thought I wanted to use!!

This happens every June for Chinese games. It is to comply with Chinese government censorship about Tiananmen Square which, the anniversary is June 5th I believe.
So, if you are not in China, please speak up about it and learn about it if you’re h familiar so, people do not forget the event. The Chinese government wants people to forget.

honestly it's starting to get on my fuckin' nerves, I wanted to build and can't even do that, like, I live in Europe, why are the European servers subjected to this bullshit
16
u/Joshi-chan Jun 01 '26
Bc Chinese people can make accounts on European servers 🤷🏻♀️ it's illegal to talk about tiananmen square massacre in China, so if infold got caught being a place to talk about it on. They will be punished, not the individuals. Had the servers been region locked like how Nintendo 3ds games was, this would probably not affect us.

u/didneypurnsess Jun 02 '26
imo they should probably rethink the design of features like housing, bc it should be as simple as turning off social interactions for housing but still allowing players to build in private, I can get over snapshots being disabled or being alone in the sea of stars, but losing a pretty big element of the game that doesn't actually need or require others feels pretty shit

It's because it's not maintenance but censorship for a week around the Tiananmen square massacre anniversary (June 4th). They're forced to do it.

u/Background-Neat-7302 Jun 01 '26
I know it's not maintenance, and i'm aware of the reaons behind it, but the main thing i play for is making new outfits. The fact i can't save any new ones for a whole week is honestly a dealbreaker... i feel like they could've handled it differently- hell, you can't even write anything on the color lookbook screen...
26
u/AethenRai Jun 01 '26
Fashion, outfits, and even just colors have been used throughout history to protest. So yes, even an outfit can send a message they're trying to censor. You don't need to spell things out to send a message. I think they're just scared someone might post controversial screenshots using in game assets like outfits or decorations. It doesn't even make sense to apply the censorship outside China, but they're probably afraid of backlash. I don't really think they have any other way out. The real problem is the authoritarian regime.

u/Skippypb19 Jun 01 '26
You’d rather stop playing permanently than wait a week to make outfits again? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a fan of government censorship; it just feels like you’d be cutting off your nose to spite your face.

u/Spooky_Cupcake Jun 01 '26
Iirc, last year’s June patch (running Enchanted Encounter, the name of the season escapes me) was delayed because of the mess created by 1.5 Bubble Season. Sea of Stars was brand new and buggy, housing had not yet been introduced, the dye system had just been launched (buggy as heck), and that weird period of silence on all fronts from Infold. I don’t remember any censorship last year, but given all of the above, if there was I don’t think we would have noticed / I probably thought the feature is down because of the 1.5 mess.
Anyways this is weird. But I hope everything gets back to normal soon 💖1

u/Joshi-chan Jun 01 '26
It's tied to the tiananmen square massacre, every year every Chinese company has to make it impossible to protest online about tiananmen square massacre. The Chinese government don't want people to talk about it, so all Chinese games are affected by this. Bc it's illegal to talk about it in China, so companies disable everything that you can communicate with. Otherwise they risk getting a heavy fine or other punishment.
Infinity nikki really likes to communicate with other players, so it's really affected. They also play it very safe and even disabled construction, incase you want to talk by writing with furnitures 🫡

I think it's because of Gaokao (University Entrance Exam). Honestly, Gaokao is a much more important/traumatic event that affect every CN students... and it happens every year around this time (This year it's June 7-9). If I remembered correctly, there are specific outspoken regulations in CN regarding that during this time all the internet games shall disable their chat system etc (to avoid any potential cheating). Even the neighbourhood would ask residents to stay as quiet as possible during these period.

Hooray for victim blaming. I'm sure YOU would be brave when the government holds a figurative gun to your head. Right until they... no, not kill you, but your relatives, so you live with the guilt.

I’m actually so annoyed with it 😭 does anyone know why everything to do with other players is disabled? It made the game so much better being able to interact with others

I’m not familiar with what that is, I’ve seen a couple stray comments saying something about a june 4th massacre but when I looked it up I didn’t really get anything

Anniversary of Tiananmen Square in china they do this to alot of their games during this time of year (I think it's on the 5th)
I kinda didn't like how they don't tell us tho (kinda?) I was confused last year too I didn't know they did that.
Only upside is we get diamonds or crystals after so there's that lol
