Big-O-Tree Games (@bigotreegames) October 5, 2017<\/span><br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/><br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Big-O-Tree Games came under fire last week from elected officials, community activists, and even the Consulate-General of the People\u2019s Republic of China in Toronto for trailers of \u201cDirty Chinese Restaurant,\u201d which were published on YouTube last year.<\/span><br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/><br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Among the scenarios portrayed in the game are a Chinese cook hunting for cats and dogs in a back alley to serve customers, an immigration officer coming to deport employees, and a tax collector looking for cash hidden under the mattress, according to the trailers.<\/span><br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/><br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">RELATED: Politicians, Activists Criticize Game They Say Features \u2018Racism

data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/><br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">\u201cThey made the right choice by withdrawing the game,\u201d Chan told NBC News. \u201cI guess

up watching.\u201d The company also said it \u201cin no way is meant to be an accurate representation of Chinese culture.\u201d<\/span><br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/><br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Even if \u201cDirty Chinese Restaurant\u201d had been released, the game likely would not have met Apple or Google Play guidelines, which prohibits offensive or

Restaurant,\u201d including a game description and screenshots, had been stripped from the company\u2019s website. In its place was a brief statement.<\/span><br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/><br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">\u201cOut of respect we will begin removing all marketing media pertaining to [Dirty Chinese Restaurant] off our Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube accounts,\u201d the last paragraph reads. \u201cThese accounts will also be removed. We ask the press to please respect our privacy at this time as we begin the task of removing all our content.\u201d<\/span><br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/><br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The company\u2019s Facebook page still displayed materials associated with the game as of Thursday morning.
