I wonder if they were planning to pull a bait-and-switch from the start, or if they were pressured by Sony and their BlackRock masters to censor the game when they saw it was gaining popularity.

The developers seem to understand that coombait sells if the success of Nikke is anything to go by, so I can't imagine this was a calculated decision. Then again, maybe the ESG bucks were worth the backlash?

It's not totally clear. On the one hand, apparently they've censored Nikke of their own accord before and gotten away with it. On the other, this wouldn't be the first time westernized Sony has forced a dev to censor a game released on their platform. Perhaps they didn't anticipate the pressures that would be exerted after going public (ShiftUp used to be privately owned) and then making the game a PS5 exclusive. Anons have been saying that the 'no censorship' tweet was posted after some of the changes had already been made, meaning that it was a lie.

<+aweigh> if a japanese dev is forced to cover up 2 centimeters of a titty because of SJW pressure, i don't really care. it's not a big deal to me. it's still 100x more based than anything coming out of the west

Average Western game

When it comes to PC people will just mod it back in

I hope you folks feel foolish and stop coping by pretending the issue is Sony. What good is a principled stand if it crumpled in silence instantaneously?

He had me going with the first sentence, only to subsequently ruin it.

Censoring dozens of things doesn't happen overnight. They were likely in the middle of that work (meaning: planned, approved, actively changed) in the middle of the public praise for sexy artwork.

Stellar Blade in-game art referencing racial slur will be removed, says Sony

Bros... I thought this was the anti-censorship game that was going to destroy the woke left....

When it comes to PC people will just mod it back in

Can't wait for someone to make it deliberately racist with a graffiti "NIGGE" right next to hard R. If someone does I will actually buy the game

absolute state of first party PS5 exclusive games

Dafuq is up with that low-res texture lol

So this whole thing has been a grift to sell ps5s

[Metalhead33]

I ain't buying PS5 just for a game that's mid at best.

The main protagonist is hot, and she pissess off all the right people (puritans on both the political left and right), but the game is on PS5 (and I am PC Master Race Only) and probably not my cup of tea genre-wise either.

I call things how I see them.

People who get triggered by stuff that appeals to straight men for moral reasons - right-wingers see it as "sinful", left-wingers see it a "misogynistic" - are puritans in my vocabulary. Especially if they express a strong desire to ban, censor or deplatform content they see as "immoral" (let's face it, there is a far greater overlap between what tradcons see as "immoral" and what woketards see as "immoral" than either camp dares to admit).

Or, I could take a page out of @aweigh's playbook and call them SJWs too. Wouldn't make a difference to me.

Aren't you being a puritan by excluding gay men?

[Metalhead33]

Nah. Excluding homos makes me a Chud, not a puritan. A puritan is that annoying guy who hates on anything remotely sexual, especially if it appeals to straight men.

Underage girls being abused doesn't appeal to all straight men FYI

You are the one using a group that strikes fear into modern liberals (400 years later and the jews and libshits are STILL making tv shows and media that demonize the puritans) as a negative, yet have the gall to claim we have a bunch of overlap. Aweigh is also a spic liberal crybaby, so he is the last person you want to be in agreement with here.

Wouldn't that be a Right-wing thing to do?

I heard it was coming to PC, like several other “exclusives”.

weird gay strawman by a weird gay man

[Shillitron]

Moral Quandary, who do we hate more and want to lose the culture war / fade out of existence?

fallen white men who debase themselves as coomers with no self respect?
Or
pissed off game urinalists who actively hate men and want them genocided?




You can pick both.. but one has to go first.

Easy question. The only group I loathe more than journalists is localizers.

[rusty_shackleford]

coomerism lead directly to sjwism
e.g., no coomers, no lara croft, and lara croft was a proto-SJW character

[Acrux]

Coomers first, then journos. Business before pleasure.
