Firm ordered to correct game that takes advantage of legal loopholes

BEIJING, Dec. 22 (Chinese media) -- Under pressure from both the government and the public, a Shanghai-based game designing company has revised its popular on-line game "Giant", which presented virtual pornographic bathing and massage to winners.



On Dec. 10, the Ministry of Culture issued a notice to the Shanghai Interactive Group Inc., ordering it to make revisions.

Confessing it failed to design the game in a careful manner, the company has deleted the vulgar contents. Moreover, it has made changes on the exposed clothes of waiters.

The company has punished some staff responsible for their wrongdoing and strengthened internal management, according to a company report, which was submitted to the ministry on Dec. 15.
