It’s almost certainly Sony’s weird new policy, one which doesn’t make any sense because they were doing just fine before without it. Now they moved their HQ to California and suddenly they’ve gone puritanical. The weird part is that it really only seems to be affecting Japanese titles. I can’t really name any western…

Dammit J.J. Abrams!

They’re not ignoring it, you just have no ability to judge what constitutes “news”, and “platform owner decides what games are on platform” is not, unless something unusual is happening, news.

Who said I’m trying to polish any companies knob? I bitched about when Nintendo was “Localizing” a bunch of the games on Wii U. I’m bitching about Sony doing the same thing. I think Ubisoft censoring all versions of the game is idiotic. I’m asking why Kotaku seems to be ignoring Sony doing it when they had no problem…

Tell that to Pqube who wasted a ton of time and money localizing Omega Labyrinth Z to have Sony cancel it after they had finished it. What happened to the original agreement with Sony and Pqube? Why didnt Sony tell them from the start they couldn’t sell that game on Playstation? 

“Censorship is okay when its something I don’t like” 

That would be fine and dandy if Sony was telling the publishers up front what is or isnt allowed instead of waiting until the game is already completed and ready to be released to tell them “No you have to take this out” Western and Eastern publishers are both saying that they have no idea what the specifics of Sony’s…

So are you guys gonna report on Sony censoring ganes globally too at some point? The American branch of Sony forcing developers to censor their games in Japan to censor their games and correspond with them in english seems like a big deal
