Fact check: Post Title: After 10 years Ubisoft censors Far cry 4 Comment Chain: 1. Why after 10 years? 2. Likely a result of Tencent buying 25% of the company Original Reddit link: https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/s/RuOtRt0b9n

1. Summary of the results

The claim about Ubisoft censoring Far Cry 4 after 10 years is confirmed by multiple sources. Specific changes include:

• Adding a loincloth to the protagonist Ajay during arena missions ^{[1] [2]}
• Covering female characters' breasts and adding bras ^{[1] [3]}
• Modifying various character models to cover previously exposed areas ^[3]

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

Several important contextual elements were missing from the original statement:

• Tencent's Investment Details:
• Tencent owns a 25% stake specifically in a Ubisoft subsidiary, not the entire company as implied ^[3]
• There were significant shareholder concerns about this deal ^[4]
• Chinese Regulatory Context:
• The changes appear to be influenced by China's strict media censorship laws ^[2]
• These modifications might be part of a broader censorship strategy to make the game compliant with Chinese regulations ^[3]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement and comment chain present a simplified cause-and-effect relationship that requires more nuance:

• Stakeholder Interests:
• Tencent, as a Chinese company, benefits from games being compliant with Chinese regulations ^[3]
• Ubisoft benefits from access to the Chinese market through these modifications ^[2]
• Shareholders have expressed concerns about the implications of this relationship ^[4]
• Timing and Motivation:
• While the timing coincides with Tencent's investment, the changes appear to be part of a larger strategy for Chinese market compliance ^{[3] [2]}
• The modifications seem more driven by regulatory compliance than direct censorship demands ^[2]
