BEIJING :China's video games regulator granted on Wednesday publishing licences to 45 foreign games for release in the country，further lifting rigid curbs that have hammered the industry for 18 months.
The approval of imported games effectively marks the end of Beijing's crackdown on the video games industry which began last August when regulators suspended the game approval process. Beijing's year-long crackdown on the industry has dealt a significant blow to Chinese tech companies including Tencent and NetEase Inc which derive substantial revenue from publishing both self-developed and imported games.
Other imported games approved include CD Projekt's"Gwent: The Witcher Card Game" and Klei Entertainment's"Don't Starve".
