Last time this happened to a Chinese game I owned, it’s because their publisher was removed off steam for fake reviews or something. The devs had to get a new publisher and issued owners of the game new keys to the game since they had to make a new store page.
This sounds very plausible to me.
Well you are talking about 2 different things.
Stalking: just following a person for your own personal benefit.
And Spying/Surveillance: following someone to share the information with another entity or government.
The person in question had several logs and such logs were communicated to the chinese government, they have proof of this, so such actions are criminal offenses.
But surveillance is illegal, especially in a targeted form. Let me put it like this, your address is public, as people can see when you get in and out of your house. But now someone goes and tells someone else, a criminal, your address with the intention to cause you damages. That person, the informant, becomes directly an accomplice, even if the person didn’t do damage directly.
“private citizen sending a message abroad about publicly available information on someone?”
That is actually a pretty nefarious thing because it is targeted, as in spying. That’s what is not legal.
Just a quick search gave me this:
18 U.S.C. 2261A says, “Whoever (1) travels in interstate or foreign commerce or is present within the jurisdiction of the United States, with the intent to kill, injure, harass, intimidate, or place under surveillance, or intimidate another person, and in the course of, or as a result of, such travel or presence engages in conduct that (A) places that person in reasonable fear of the death of, or serious bodily injury to (i) that person; (ii) an immediate family member (iii) a spouse or intimate partner of that person….”
In this case, there is an intent to have repercussions. I was wondering as well why Private Investigators are allowed to do this and in short, they are regulated so they have to work within the frame of law and should have a lawful purpose.
Doesn’t work like that, my guy. They were targeting Chinese descendants, which would make them american.
Also this:
US officials have warned for years of Chinese determination to influence American policy and cultivate relationships with political figures, but also act to pressure US-Chinese nationals domestically.

Hahaha I was thinking about my wife when I wrote my comment, my train of thought was in the direction of “I’m breaking the law to show you that I love you by hugging you more than 3 mins”, ladies like bad boys.
Also 3 mins is not that much when saying the well wishes while hugging.
Thus ensuring that now all hugs will last 3 mins per person.

“Control multiplayer spin-off which the company said will give players a “unique Remedy angle” on the genre.”
You mean PvP with flying, telekinesis and other powers…

Bro, you put a Super Giant game and don’t mention “Build that Wall” from Bastion, tsk tsk.
Woah, buddy don’t think like that, let me reset that neural link for you.
