Did you know there are two different versions of CS:GO? There’s the normal Steam version you’ve probably played, and the version intended for the Chinese market released by Perfect World in 2017<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Perfect World version was made to meet the Chinese government’\u0099s formal and informal regulations for content in the country. In particular, Chinese versions of western games are quick to censor skulls, gore, excessive violence and political iconography and views. <\/p>\n

While there’\u0099s no actual written rule that strictly bans skulls and bones<\/a>, developers often self censor aggressively to avoid having their games and cosmetics rejected by the Chinese National Press and Publication Administration.<\/p>\n

Despite the developer’s actual intentions, it comes down to interpretation as skulls, bones and even blood could be tied to a religious organization or cult in China. For that, it’\u0099s better to be safe than sorry which sees gaming companies censoring themselves or part of their games including Valve.<\/p>\n

For that reason, a large number of skins in the Perfect World version are censored in interesting and unique ways, which he have demonstrated below. Whether these changes end up making the skin better than the normal version is up for you to decide.<\/p>\n

The Perfect World version provides a special look to some skins while destroying the uniqueness of others like the R8 Revolver Skull Crusher. The censorship in China goes beyond skins, even map textures with Arabic texts are removed including any politically related symbols.<\/p>\n
