Popular Post Paul Posted August 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) Will you be buying this game on PS4 despite its blatant censorship? Although I want to play Labyrinth Life, I don't intend to buy the PS4 version. I can't support Sony if the company is going to dictate what consumers, specifically ADULTS, can or cannot see in the products they purchase. It's ironic, considering Mortal Kombat 11 and GTA V are extremely violent games, yet they are left uncensored. Thanks, Soyny!

Popular Post MidnightDragon Posted August 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2019 In all seriousness, I wasn't planning on buying it anyway. Sony probably won't reconsider their stance unless they try censoring a major game and face enough backlash. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To answer the OP's question, I'm getting the uncensored Switch version because I'm done buying these types of games for the PS4 if Soyny is going to continue their vendetta against Fan Service titles and the developers that make them. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PS4 version won't have the touch and rub system or the Boobs Rock Paper Scissors System.

You're a good man. Don't support Soyny if they are going to censor games, even if it's just anime titties. In the foreseeable future, these policies will be applied to AAA titles. I don't trust Sony whatsoever. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaivRules Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 This game (or type of game) has no appeal to me, but I'd probably buy it on Switch, only because this is the type of game I'd prefer to play on the go, as opposed to being tethered to a TV via the PS4. So everyone doesn't have to go full hyperbole in describing the differences in versions, they're spelled out here: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sony are not just a publisher, but a platform holder who controls a significant portion of the means of distribution.

iriihutoR84 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I care more about trophies than anime boobs so I'd buy it on the PS4 if I actually thought the gameplay looked good. It doesn't, just like all these games selling on sexualized anime girls. I'm fine with Sony having certain rules and standards for publishing on their platform. This isn't political censorship either or the suppression of opinions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is literally one group of adults telling another group of adults what they will allow in society . It's not like PS4 is open source. Sony control what is allowed to be made and distributed, and they have a very dominant market position Edited August 5, 2019 by thefourfoldroot 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is when Wal-Mart was shutting down mom and pop stores left and right as they got dominated and record stores were rapidly declining. It's very similar to what's happening here and I suspect the result will be largely similar to what happened then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DiabloXIIIofWar Posted August 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2019 I'm still buying the game on PS4. The main reason being that the developer still worked on this version, yes I know it was butchered but the developer took the time to make this version for all the fans on PS4. Not everybody has a switch so for some of us (me at least) this is the only version I can play and I'm thankful to the developers for that. I figure the best us PS4 only users can do is just buy the game thank the developers for releasing it on PS4 and complain to Sony about the censorship. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't political censorship either or the suppression of opinions. So, you're fine with Sony censoring games that are targeted towards adults while Microsoft, Nintendo, and Steam sell the same game untouched? Sony is being influenced by the current social and political climate. They have said it themselves before. The The #MeToo movement is influencing Sony, which I think is a weak argument. If the games pass ESRB guidelines and aren't censored on any other platform, there's no reason for Sony to intervene. It should be up to parents to monitor what their children play, not corporations. Should we censor first-person shooters because they might affect somebody who has PTSD from being in war? Of course not. Any reasonable person simply avoids something if they don't like it.

I mean, those warnings are on the ESRB game box, so anyone who spends half a second looking at why a game may be rated an M by the ESRB or 18 by PEGI will understand why they shouldn't let their kids play a game like that. I don't get why SJWs have such influence on media when they are the minority in most of these cases. They could always release an uncensored version and a censored version to appease those who oppose such media being shown. It is animated media, so it's not real, it's not objectifying a real woman to show animated boobs in a video game. Even if it was live action, you need to get the consent of the actor/actress to show them nude in a scene, so while it may offend people who love to look for an excuse to censor shit, it shouldn't offend the average everyday person who just wants to play a video game. I can't say nudity being censored really affects me, but I do prefer the product to be in its original state if I am going to purchase it, I'm not phased by nudity or violence in animated media because at the end of the day games aren't a realistic depiction of reality and are used by people as an escape from their reality.

ShadeSplit Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 There are two ways to look at this. One, they're telling you this content isn't appropriate for you. Or two, they're telling you to buy the game from a competitor. Neither makes any sense, yet they continue down this path. They clearly need to learn the hard way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iris Heart Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I have not a Switch and I don't plan on buying one just for anime titties. So, I will stay with Sony version, besides, the developer made an effort to publishing it on PS, so, I will support the developer, not Sony's policies. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sony isn't telling anyone what they think is appropriate for anyone. What they are doing is establishing an image and deciding what they do want and do not want to be associated with. People here stating they Sony is telling them what they can or can't have couldn't be more wrong because they're aware that other platforms exist and people can get their needs met there instead since at this point they've decided that losing their money matters little to them.
