Aranea Highwind Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Sony is passing the blame on the publisher when they are the one who blocked the intimacy mode. Someone on Twitter asked them why the mode was removed and this is what Sony has to say. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katt Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) I can't believe this idiotic response is real. I don't buy it. I'm dreaming. Hope that guy gets fired and the tweet goes viral. Edit: success. Media is talking about it and a lot of comments in Twitter and Disqus. Edited October 16, 2018 by Katt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumpkin Head Cthulhu Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) 11 hours ago, Walt the Dog said: PS UK on the Senran Kagura Burst Renewal censorship I am certain that this statement will not be abused to hell by people who are angry about the censorship as a meme about some more popular games with very similar releases year after year. Surely not. the funniest part about his comment about games being the same is that it can be applied to sports games and Call of duty (most fps games actually). 10 hours ago, SnowxSakura said: I think 2K was also begging "fans" to contact their politicians in Belgium and tell them that they wanted the loot box ban overturned i would congratulate Belgium for that ban.

JustOneStingray Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 So I am sure Sony will be removing the Japanese and Asian versions which have this mode in the game because it broke their policy right? /s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probably only a western branch policy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone on Twitter asked them why the mode was removed and this is what Sony has to say. Do people not actually speak English? That's not what that said. It's still a stupid tweet, but it's not blaming the publisher. It's telling people to take any future query to the publisher. It literally says "it doesn't meet our standards anymore". How is that blaming the publisher? Call Sony stupid for trying to get people to go ask the publisher about these things when it's Sony's policy. That's stupid as hell, but it's not "blaming the publisher". Anyhoo, I think it's absurd to censor games that fit within the rating board's standards. The rating boards were established for a reason, and while I hate them, at least it's more consistent (to some degree). And more importantly, is not up to the whims of a console maker. Things like this are stupid, we shouldn't be limited based on the standards of some idiots at Sony. Or Nintendo. Or MS. Reminds me of when Nintendo was refusing games on moral grounds like Binding of Issac. They eventually changed their minds. So there ended up being no reason for the restriction at the time and people just missed out on a good game on Wii for no reason. We shouldn't have to deal with stupid bias from companies. Leave the nonsense to the ESRB and other rating boards around the world. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowhunterrX Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) Ever since Playstation got new leads like Jim ryan. They are making all weird and anti consumer decisions only to safe there own face. There slogan *for the players* is looking more like joke. One day this will come back and haunt them.

Nikoyi Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Already signed the petition. Canceling my pre-order today. Buying the game on Steam, support XSEED, not Soy-ny. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntingFever Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 My Asian Copy was posted a day or so back, which means it should be with me by this time next month . In future, I'm not pre-ordering any ports of JP/Asian games until I know with 100% certainty they will make it past Sony's draconian laws intact but if they get canned or censored in any way - then I'll just order the untouched JP/Asian originals instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's time to go mad. Here is the translations of each tweet (according to Twitter's translate option): First Tweet: I was watching the PS4 version with Nora and the CG regulations have been enhanced than the Vita version W mysterious light Mr. Wwwwwww CERO It was true that the regulation from Sony recently was enhanced or regulated up here in the W. Second Tweet: Even the bare skin of the wwww was erased. First piece: PS4 edition 2nd piece: Vita version 3rd edition: PC version What a shame to see Sony going in this direction, even in Japan where this kind of content is usually more accepted than here in the West. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crimsonidol38 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I find this even more "funny" (may be NSFW): Spoiler The one with the rays is the PS4-version and the other two ones are Switch and PC. They even censored the bellybutton and now it seems like the character is more or less nude. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majob Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 On the bright side, maybe we can combine our efforts with the Japanese as well. Enough noise around the world might get Sony to think that what they're doing might not be a good idea after all 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
