Message: Regarding the censorship of 《Snowbreak Containmentzone》 on August 26th, as a consumer & player, I felt that my legitimate rights and interests are harmed. I would like to inquire on whether any relevant authorities have enforced a notice/report on this matter? Thanks.

Sichuan Provincial Economic and Information Department: Hello, after checking the game u mentioned under Seasun Games, the Publicity Department of the Chinese Communist Party (中宣部) issued a notice in May 2024 this year towards Seasun Games on this matter.

TLDR: On May 2024, a ^big government authority issued a notice to Seasun Games regarding Snowbreak.

Private Speculation (TAKE WITH BIG GRAIN OF SALT):

Snowbreak changed their rating to 18+ in May after getting this notice and they thought that was enough for the censorship.

Three months after May, on August 26th, the government authority rechecked whether Seasun Games followed their notice or not and found out that they did not change/censor anything so they "warned" Seasun on this matter. Which in result caused the 26th August censorship.
This can be backed up by all the censored stuff are before 1.8 where 1.8 is on 30 May 2024 which I reckon why they(1.8-2.1) escaped the censorship.
