						<p>Is it game over for Joe Biden?</p>
<p>New guidelines released for the &#8220;Animal Crossing: New Horizons&#8221; video game will reportedly ban islands like the one built for the <strong>president-elect&#8217;s 2020 campaign</strong>.</p>
<p>High-profile players, <strong>including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez</strong>, entered Nintendo&#8217;s blockbuster game after it soared in popularity over the summer, <strong>prompted by pandemic lockdown</strong> measures that kept most Americans indoors and online.</p>
<p>By September, the campaign for the president-elect along with VP-elect Kamala Harris had <strong>launched their own island</strong>, encouraging players to get out the vote IRL.</p>
<p>Now, it seems Nintendo has walked back their policy on campaigning via the &#8220;Animal Crossing&#8221; platform, following a newly published set of rules, coinciding with the game&#8217;s seasonal update.</p>
<p>Among rules that prohibit vulgar or offensive content, they also write, &#8220;Please also refrain from bringing politics into the game.&#8221;</p>
<p>It also states that players cannot use the game &#8220;as a marketing platform that directs people to activities or campaigns outside the game (including directing people to a sales page, distributing coupons, sweepstakes, giveaways, requiring consumers to follow social network services accounts, gathering customers’ information, or other invitational activities).&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Any business use of the Game that exceeds the rules set forth herein shall be permitted only with the separate and express, written permission of Nintendo,&#8221; they conclude.</p>
<p>Despite the new rules, Biden&#8217;s island currently remains open for visitors.</p>
