Gamers in China will have to do without Sega's Football Manager 2005, now that the government has banned the game. Sega's crime? The game violates China's "territorial integrity" by portraying Taiwan, Tibet, Hong Kong and Macau as separate countries. Dealers who sell the game — Sega's hottest-selling European product — face fines of $3,600 and cancellation of their business licenses. Sega isn't worried, though. The game is currently available in China only as a bootleg. An official version, currently being developed, will "follow the correct submission and approval process with China." Looks like fans of Tibet's soccer team — aptly nicknamed "The Forbidden Team" — will have to stick with the bootleg.
