World of Warcraft’s China branch faces bankruptcy

This is quite ironic. One of the biggest gaming markets and the biggest game of them all, should be a healthy combination, or would it? Because of China’s strict rules in terms of content, the latest expansion, Wrath of the Lich King, has not yet been approved for release, causing Chinese players to activate Taiwanese accounts and start playing there. China’s owner of the WoW license is now facing bankruptcy due to high costs already present. (servers and license fees)

Lets see if the Chinese government will help out and get the game cleared in time.
