Aint that a kick in the head.

Changing content for the “sake” of an audience is the definition of censorship. Not saying they made the wrong call, but it most definitely meets the criteria for censorship.

Thank you Nintendo, I am so glad you are protecting me from the horrors of touching a girls face lightly.

I agree. I wish there would be a bit on the creative freedom issues with this kind of stuff. Not everything has to appeal to all audiences.

Everytime any issues of free expression or censorship come up at this site, both its writers and its commenters discuss those issues in terms of the particular content — haha, these dudes like nudie games, I don’t like nudie games, ergo there’s no problem here. But that’s not how these issues work. It’s so tiring to…

This, right here, on so many levels. I’m a grown adult that knows what he likes, and it bothers me when things I enjoy are censored because others don’t like the fact that I enjoy them.

Yup, this completely describes 100% of people who enjoy anime boobs... all emotionally stunted men... never anyone else... yup.

The point is the drawing of the line. Once censorship wins with porn next is violence. You will begin to see at first just extremely violent censored games edited and then it will spread. Its already happening in the rest of the world and 20 years ago when this was a hot debate we got our grading system (E,T,M). What…

I have never played a game like this, and I never will. However: if a movie like Nymphomaniac or Last Tango in Paris was being similarly bowdlerized on a major distribution system like Netflix or Amazon, would you really dismiss it out of hand? And Scarface is censored because it’s beamed into your house whether you…

For example, they point out how Darksiders DLC was cut from the Steam version, Metal gear has cut content from the console versions, Lighting Returns doesnt contain all DLC fro the consoles, etc...

Jeez get down from your high-pillar.

Yes.

I couldnt care less about an H-game being censored (same with NIS censorship of games) so it can be released on a system or digital service, as long as it doesnt destroy the story/narrative or affected the gaming experience, but when you remember that western games with sexual content like Witcher 3 or Dragon Age do…

its an issue because wat if you were the developer. wat if you were told that for watever reason, the content distributor didnt agree with a creative choice u made and would not sell it until you changed it. its not that people are complaing specifically about the softcore porn aspect being censored. you arent looking…

Some people are able to care about more than one issue, and they don’t let themselves stop caring about something just because it’s not the single most important issue in the world.

Hot Button because censorship builds upon itself and is most effective/dangerous in small adjustments over time which eventually lead to a larger scope of content control.

This. Censorship is censorship. Whether it’s video games, or books, or movies, editing content from the author’s original intent is something we should all be against.

Never played any of these games, but there’s plenty of movies and books I have enjoyed that people are always trying to censor or, usually, ban from…

You do know that redtube is a censored porn platform? Lots of content there gets pulled because of “copyright claims” and “being perverted”.

While I don’t really care for that stuff. I’d say censorship always sucks.
