Comparison of Winnie the Pooh with Chinese President Xi too much for China gamers to bear

TAIPEI - A Taiwanese games company whose latest offering contained a hidden comparison of Chinese President Xi Jinping to Winnie the Pooh has apologised after gamers in China boycotted the product.

Horror adventure game "Devotion" was unveiled by Red Candle Games earlier this month and had generated much buzz among gaming communities in Taiwan and China.
