China World of Warcraft Operator Files Bankruptcy?

China’s refusal to authorize the release of Wrath of the Lich King could be a big problem for Chinese World of Warcraft operator The9, which says it will go bankrupt if the expansion isn’t released.

Authorities in China announced last week that Wrath of the Lich King, the latest expansion for Blizzard’s hugely popular MMOG World of Warcraft, would not be approved for release in the country due to concerns about objectionable content, most of which is centered around the presence of undead skeletons in the game. The Chinese release of the previous expansion, The Burning Crusade, faced similar issues and was delayed so modifications could be made, including the addition of flesh to skeletons.
