If you have access to the October/November Magazine of MULTILINGUAL, do not miss the Article from Xiaochun Zhang "'Harmonious' games localization for China".
The article explains in a very clear way the process of modification of several games (i.e. Blizzard's World of Warcraft) to be allowed in Chinese cyberspace.
The author concludes that not only sex and violence are considered, but mainly cultural, political and legal issues, including moral behaviours of the characters.
Ms. Zhang also mentions a bbc article where this topic is analyzed.
Also from bbc TV there is a very interesting news on how people are paying to get several type of equipment for their characters in virtual worlds.
