Thread 714071505

If a game gets censored AFTER you buy it do you believe you should get a refund?

Context: Ready or Not is getting some stuff removed/changed years after release

small claims court

You deserve to demand a refund and then get buttmad when you get told off

>>714071505 (OP)
absolutely
not only should I be entitled to a refund, I should get a minimum of $100 for each hour spent playing
same if they remove songs etc
stop killing games

You agreed that the devs may alter the game's content at any time for any reason without notice when you clicked past the license agreement without reading and chose to proceed to play the game.
No remedy or recourse.
>b-b-b-bootlicker!
>b-b-buh muh yuropean laws say-
You're not getting your money back, deal with it.

>>714071505 (OP)
What compels a developer to sabotage their reputation like this?

>>714071914
console bux

>>714071505 (OP)
oh no not the nudity, think of the poor credit card companies

>>714071505 (OP)
100%
again console garbage fucking things up for everyone else

>>714072047
Postal 2 isnt getting censored on pc though only on consoles so whats the excuse here?

>>714072083
probably some microshit gamepass deal

>>714071875
>You agreed that the devs may alter the game's content at any time for any reason without notice when you clicked past the license agreement without reading and chose to proceed to play the game.
except at that point you already bought the game
you didn't agree to anything when you bought it

>>714071505 (OP)
yes, obviously

>>714071875
at least you know that you're a bootlicker

>>714071505 (OP)
yes
Console have nothing to do with me, why should i suffer for rules that dont apply to the Store where I bought my game?

>>714071505 (OP)
If the game gets any update you don't like after you buy it you deserve to get a refund. Balance patches, bugfixes, ANY update. It's no longer the product you paid for.

>>714072324
Because they got a fat paycheck to ensure to ensure the PC version wasn't the superior option of course.

>>714071505 (OP)
Not really. You need to prove that the game is unable to function post-censorship the way you expected it to. But if you bought a cosmetic DLC precisely because of how it looks at the time of purchase, then you should be allowed a refund whenever it got changed.

>>714071875
>buy game
>update happens removing everything but a 4k video of a guy drinking his own urine
>uh chud you cant complain no refund for you!

Define censorship.

Because right now it is a buzzword that basically means either
>any change
Or
>something shows less skin or doesnt make my pp as hard

>>714072363
a paycheck that should benefit the consumer by paying for the refunds

>>714072434
covering nudity is literally censorship kek open a dictionary you retarded nigger

>>714071875
Why do Americans suck corporate cock so much? Genuine question, it's always Americans that defend rampant anti-consumer shit.

>game downgraded on PC to accomodate new platforms
Could be worse.

>>714072434
This one is free im not googling the word "obscene" for you too

>>714071505 (OP)
american puritanism is a disgrace

>>714071505 (OP)
Great, so not only are these fags not releasing any new updates but they're also actively removing content. What niggers

>>714072083
cross play, the single worst multiplayer feature
PC players and console babies dont minle

>>714072182
You purchase a license to use it, you still have to agree to the terms of service for use of their property (their server). When you log in to play the game, you are legally a guest in their server for them to boot out for whatever reason they want. Online games famously boot everyone for server maintenance for instance.

Its been like 7 months since an update, and they push an update that is just to censor the game. Jesus Christ

>>714071505 (OP)
I asked for a refund, I think steam will issue it considering it’s not the first time these retarded devs have done this.
Not to mention the AI is still dogshit and all enemies act the same

>>714071505 (OP)
>buying Ready or Not
there is your problem

you bought a game made by stupid cuckolded freak fucks. this is been on my boycott list since day 1 of them putting it on steam, skipping the whole refunding problem/issue

>>714072567
im an american and i agree
guilty dogs bark the loudest

>>714072527
while i get it being shitty, but in the case of VR would it be better to have more players than prettier graphics? only an issue if they do it in single player games

>>714071505 (OP)
Yes. And games being sold as a "service" makes them susceptible to it from a legal standpoint, at least assuming you don't live in an anti-consumer shithole like the US.

>>714073085
Players on different platforms could still potentially play with eachother while having different graphics. People in PC games today already play against eachother with different graphics settings.
However, the developers of this title got bought out by Facebook and so having a better looking PC release would mean less sales on Oculus, so they destroyed it.

>>714071505 (OP)
Yes. It's one thing to add content a player doesn't like, but entirely another to REMOVE content. That is grounds for refund.

>>714071875
Sure buddy, say what you want. This shit has never actually been litigated.

Definitely what will make the game better is censorship and not making the AI actually function

>>714073001
>you bought a game made by stupid cuckolded freak fucks. this is been on my boycott list since day 1 of them putting it on steam, skipping the whole refunding problem/issue
Explain. All I know about this game is that the AI looked dogshit so I didn't buy

>>714073518
NTA but they cucked out and made the high school level a college campus instead they obviously had 0 integrity from the start

>>714071875
ToS are not laws fucking retarded mongoloid

Some of this stuff like the fake discord image in OPs post is staying on pc tbough, the dev blog even states that not all the changes are coming to pc when it is stuff like textures.

Is the game in early access?
Then no.
Is it fully released?
Then yes.

>>714073518
idc about the details because i tuned out immediately. they employ trash that attacks their audience, bow down to journos, etc the usual things
https://archive.ph/gUbzg

never giving a penny to these stupid fucks

>>714074167
Huh, good point

>>714074013
>the dev blog even states that not all the changes are coming to pc when it is stuff like textures.
They literally updated the post yesterday to backpedal on that, which is funny because it was after their PR guy said the changes were already final.

>>714074167
I hate that this makes sense, but yeah. not much different than if they were to change a game mechanic pre-release

What should we write here bros?
How about: "The developers are removing content in such a way that it neuters the original atmosphere of the game and which was the reason why it was initially purchased. The game is no longer in Early Access, rendering such changes unjustified and therefore legitimizing reimbursement"

>>714071505 (OP)
I'm just gonna pirate the version before the patch. Or pirate it later on and use a mod to restore the cut content/console pandering. Will never buy this or anything the company makes. Sjw faggots.

No because you bought a subscription, you pathetic sheep

>>714075307
>bought
>subscription

>>714071505 (OP)
they want to sell it to teenagers so they make changes to avoid the +18 rating
>>714074932
im a chud, game changed money stolen

Can't I just mod any of this shit back in? Like at first removing the condom from the kids bedroom in the meth house level was like sure whatever that's like a 2mb model, but can't anyone just easily nab the shit from the game and re-add it?
I can understand trying to push a universal version but I'll only hop on this retarded train if I can't mod any of this stuff back into the game

>VOID are getting universally shit on
You love to see it

>>714071505 (OP)
games are patched all the time and content is changed in various ways

it is not usually grounds for a refund, because you already used/played/experienced the product (consumed it)

europoors have tried and failed to get refunds for patches before, trying to use their faggy communist laws nobody else in the world cares about as justification and steam wouldn't do it

>>714075723
steam got refunds for faggy communist laws in australia, retard

Umm... are you voicing your opinion about an update you dislike? That's actually review bombing, sweaty. Review marked as off topic.

>Context: Ready or Not is getting some stuff removed/changed years after release
I'll do you one better.
Akiba's Trip is an Acquire game that was released in 2013 for the PS Vita and PS3, 12 years ago. It was then ported to the PC in 2015, 10 years ago. It sat unchanged for 10 years.
And then, a couple of months ago, out of fucking nowhere, they patched it and censored/cut a bunch of dialogue. For a budget game nobody has thought about for 10 fucking years, censoring dialogue that was never considered controversial.

I don't care about refunds, I think you should be able to to press a button that sends a Steam rep to the developer's house to finger-flick them on the forehead for being a fucking idiot.

>>714077662
>out of fucking nowhere
It got an updated re-release with the long-awaited Kati route. XSNEED censored it when they updated it to add the new content.
>censoring dialogue that was never considered controversial.
Trannies went absolutely mental over Eriko calling out the trap and threatened to kill themselves over it which resulted in Hatsuu losing her shit and getting relieved of XSNEED PR duties. It was a laughable shitshow back when the game first came out.

>>714077908
Trap isn't even offensive. It's saying they pass enough where someone might think they are actually a woman. Tranny or something I can understand. These people are insane. But we all knew that already.

>>714078678
Its no use arguging or agreeing with them i dont understand why devs continue doing it they'll never ever be happy

>>714078970
>i dont understand why devs continue doing it they'll never ever be happy

No, because you notice bad graphics WAY MORE in VR than you do in flatscreen because those graphics are literally right up in your face. So when something becomes a blurry mess it becomes ten times more obvious and can even make you a little sick

>>714071505 (OP)
logically they *should* offer one but we lived in a kike society.
However what's actually getting changed is both extremely minor(lmao) and not really interesting in any way shape or form that Im not particularly miffed about this

>Do nothing

It's been out of Early Access for 18 months.

>>714071505 (OP)
The developers have now resorted to saying, "You just want to see penis," in defense of their actions on the Steam discussions.
>>714082473
The issue is not the changes, but what the developers will do in the future. They have revealed they have no integrity. If they get into a jam, say single mothers find out about the school shooter level and complain, Sony will tell the developers to remove it and they will.

That and the fact now the game's story and levels will have to be designed with the console rating in mind. That's why the newer DLC levels are so water downed compared to the the main story.

>>714071505 (OP)
Super hot changed the entire story and theme of the game from "you need to escape the matrix" to some weird suicide prevention PSA message.

It was very bad and they issued no refunds. All that resulted was the asterisk of shame.

>>714071505 (OP)
I don't believe consumers should have any real rights desu but I am not a libtard

Censorship is never acceptable, period. Make the game the way you want it to be, and leave it alone. Only fix actual issues like bugs or vulnerabilities.

>>714073072
Guilty dogs usually try to hide and dont bark the loudest.

>>714071875
don't care, just refunded your game

>>714071505 (OP)
Yes. More broadly, a developer should never be permitted to take away anything from the game you bought, including releasing an update and removing access to the unupdated version.

>>714072518
America is an artificial country that lacks a real culture, so Americans have made corporate worship and consumerism into their national culture.

>>714072518
conservatism in North America is partly about defending and supporting the rich. To oppose the rich is communist libshit. Since 4chan is ultra-conservative and mostly American you will see plenty of this.

>>714083527
>Censorship is never acceptable, period.
false and you know this

American culture is centered around niggers. They have holidays for niggers. They killed hundreds of thousands of white men to free niggers. They listen to nigger music. They elect a nigger as their president. They dress and act like niggers. They draw the entirety of their modern culture from niggers. They post sassy gifs about niggers. They watch sportsball in worship of niggers. Their biggest event of the year involves throwing parties in honor of niggers playing sports. They use nigger slang like "bruh" and "thot". When you say "Martin Luther" they're not thinking of the father of protestantism. They're thinking of the nigger. Their cities are completely overrun with niggers. They worship their ZOGbot police force disproportionately filled with niggers and their global police force of soldiers filled with niggers. Their men sit around watching nigger ball while their women sit around watching nigger talk shows. They worship niggers like Muhammad Ali and Michael Jordan and Michael Jackson and the late Eddie Murphy while attacking the whites who actually built their country before niggers took over. Their movies are filled with niggers and their music charts are topped by niggers. They send niggers to the Olympics and celebrate when the niggers win because those niggers are true red blooded american niggers. They watch nigger porn to a point where "BBC" does not make them think of an international media company but about nigger penises instead. They will tell you how much they hate niggers and how the mutt's law meme is a stale joke and they are just pretending to love niggers but the evidence speaks for itself in that America has always been and will be a nation of nigger loving niggers

No one thinks you believe this.

this thread is full of gachabrained bugman tier chimping out
actually feminist tier manufactured outrage
this isn't something like "we are nerfing all the guns to be California compliant" you are just complaining how you can't look at ugly unidealized women in peril when you can find that shit for free elsewhere and it will be hotter and shit
like are ugly western art style women why you bought the game about being a police man? can't you mod the game anyway? kill yourself

>>714084419

>>714084556
Now you're assuming for me which means you're probably mad about something I dont think anything needs to be censored but there's a fine difference some things arent meant to be made for a certain audience you cant show strippers with tits and ass in a show for kids for example but Ready or Not is an 18+ game theres no need to censor anything

>>714084557
why the fuck are you moron's argument always ALWAYS "go watch porn lol" stop projecting your porn addiction on everyone else

>>714084838
The fact you haven't blown yourself up in a Libyan market to get 72 virgins in the next life that you couldn't see naked in this one is a major failing of the CIA and my tax dollars. I demand a refund from the CIA for censoring you.

>>714085012
I just firmly do not believe any right winger on this site would actually be fine with no censorship of woke or lefty ideology. I think you just say it to save face because you know the hypocrisy is embarrassing. I don't believe you are against something like the feds threatening companies to force them to not be woke.

And here you go immediately proving me right. It's sad and embarrassing.

>>714084462
Apparently your case was "if I think it is for kids" so I'd say there's likely millions of cases since that is some wide open criteria you got.

>>714085260
Censorship is a tool used by those who have ideologies that are indefensible -- ie, communists and other leftists. There's no reason for anyone on the right to employ it, since right-wing ideas hold water on their own without coercion.

>>714071505 (OP)
Yes this is not why I paid for and fuck the devs for going along with it

>>714085260
who said I was a right winger again more assumptions

>>714085075
How do I have a porn addiction if I am fine with my games not having children convulsing on the ground from drugs and sexual abuse, and how do you defend your bottomless conviction to see that as anything but porn addiction

Porn addiction isn't real.

>>714085075
Because you seem to want sex and I cannot really understand the mindset of clearly wanting sex but avoiding anything hardcore. Are you Korean? The same country that bans porn and then has to hyper sexualize everything else as a result?

pic related is the only nudity in the game and it's the only they straight up censor

This event would be massively less impactful if this crate was filled with women wearing normal clothes. It's completely missable and I was genuinely surprised when I came across it. It's a small thing but censoring it to fit shitty fucking console standards does make the mission worse.

>>714085907
Did I say they should have made the characters porn stars?
Or did I say these characters, who aren't meant to be attractive in the first place, getting censored to fit international console standards, are not worth the time and effort to have ever thrown a fit about in the first place, that none of the subject matter has really changed, none of the gameplay has changed, that this isn't even a topic that should be hotly contested if it were censored like the erasure of things like religious terror or internet grooming, and all this effort and complaining about censorship over whether or not the rape victim in your police game has a bra on or not is just loud retards grasping for any control over companies they can get their grubby little fucking hands on?
Did I stutter or did you plug your ears?

>>714086298
To censor nudity in this context is to whitewash the horrific reality of human trafficking. Censoring this by adding clothing to the women is tantamount to saying "well, human trafficking isn't THAT bad, guys... human traffickers actually food and clothe and shelter their victims so it's not a big deal that it happens". Same with the other censorship of the overdosing child in the crack house in that other mission, changing it to be just a sleeping, healthy child. To scrub away depictions of the horrific realities of what police encounter, is to sweep those horrific realities under the rug, communicating to the audience that "it's not that big a deal that crack dealers keep children in their slum buildings, guys. It's not really THAT a big deal that organized Black and Mexican criminal gangs kidnap American women and traffic them to other countries to be sex slaves."

Then again, this censorship all makes sense once you understand and realize that console manufacturer companies' executives all have powerful connections to occult secret societies who partake in these same exact crimes.

As long as they keep these changes to consoles I don't give a fuck. I didn't pay for a sanitized console version of the game.

>>714087150
>Our age rating as it stands for console is ESRB M-rating, PEGI 18, and USK 18 to give an idea. Still, there are other game content requirements that console platforms have in order to exist on their systems, and a portion of these changes will be visible on the PC version.

>>714087150
They're making the PC version have the same changes. Their excuse is the PC version not having these censors would effect crossplay.

Another game in the list of "games that were better in alpha than the release version"
Remember when enemies could hide in closets and under beds and such? Why did they remove that, it was a great feature.

>>714071875
>devs can just keep removing content
you were born to be a slave

>>714087373
>Remember when enemies could hide in closets and under beds and such? Why did they remove that, it was a great feature.
Because the implementation of that requires a character quality known as "attention to detail". This is something that is completely lacking in the DNA of Indians, whom VOID will inevitably be hiring instead of their original native programmers with at some point, like any other software company does.

>>714084556
Stopping a company from pushing a message on kids isnt the same as editing graphic content intended for a mature audience.

Making this argument is the best one can do when the jig is up.

>>714087253
>Their excuse is the PC version not having these censors would effect crossplay.
Is this arcane technology too scary to implement?
You can't even pull off the "we can't maintain two branches because bug parity" bullshit, we're talking about a few model swaps here.

>>714072182
Purchasing a game is purchasing a license to software, and part of that license for any modern game distributed digitally is that the actual owners of the game have the right to change it however they like.

>>714072518
just have a LGBTQIA2P+BBQ flag and you'll have all these things sucking Larry Fink's cock
he's on their, the good guys' side, after all

>>714087373
That's still a feature in the game. The issue is the game design. If you kill too many suspects and cause their stress levels to go too high they go into "terminator mode" and hunt you out instead of hiding and/or surrendering.

>>714087582
They said they don't want to maintain two branches actually lol.

>>714084419

the cheek and, dare I say it, entitlement of these game devs is truly disgusting. I'd rather sign a petition to kill all games than to preserve this digital garbage.

>>714086928
>whitewash the horrific reality of human trafficking
Void would have a much stronger leg to stand on if they leaned more heavily into the reality of law enforcement instead of using it as a backdrop for larpers. As in if every mission had some way to follow up on the events like news reports or if the events of previous mission were expanded upon in the next. But as it is every missions events are completely isolated and thus feeling like edgy shockvalue that is forgotten 20 minutes later and i think that is why they had no other choice but to make those changes.

Like imagine if unis rushed to the scene, picked up the girl, EMTs rushing her to the hospital and some time later you hear that she's in some CPS program making progress, trauma, blabla. That sort of thing. Now she'd be character and not just a kid OD'ing.

Same with the trafficked women. The team is being told to shut the container and act like nothing happened by their superiors and it never comes up again. That's just weak.

>>714087947
I would love this. It really is just larping rather than a genuine attempt to make a game about the horrifying reality that some police really encounter. I've played every mission through a few times and have S ranked a bunch of them. I barely even remember some of them.

>>714087947
I get what you mean, make it more meaningful instead of cheap shock value, but I doubt SWAT grunts really get follow ups on the individual people that are involved in their raids, even if they absolutely are people with names and lives.
I'd definitely like adding post raid scenes with EMS and such though, or longer narratives about cracking down on a specific crime syndicate, something more than only the slice of shooty shooty shots fired tango down stuff.

>>714071650
>>714071875
Low-iq rage bait.

>>714088494
SWAT aren't grunts in the way you're thinking. They're all police officers with years of experience already.

>>714071505 (OP)
SWAT 4 had balls. This modern ripoff could never.

>>714087947
While I agree that they fumbled creating a good cohesive overarching story, there are missions that tie to one another. The streamer SWAT raid mission turns up pizza that leads to an anonymous server host mission, which then leads to this party villa run by a rich pedo that has a nightmare studio in his secret basement.
There are also two or three missions that share a storyline about a group of veterans turned political activists turned assassins.
When I played through the game for the first time I thought that all of the missions would one way or another fall into the groove of two or three storylines that would run parallel and intersect in places, but really all I can think of are those two. The giant gratuitous Police Station mission hub feels entirely pointless as well. All I ever saw that went on there between missions was cops talking to each other about PTSD councilling. I thought I'd be able to chat up the detectives and look at the evidence from the missions I completed and see the corkboard lining everything up, but there doesn't seem like much going on.

>>714084419
Why would you have to adjust it anyway? They said that it's like one model/texture and one animation. Just let the PC version play the uncensored variant, and the console version the censored one. Hell, just make it a toggle on PC if you really cared.

>>714071875
Tanoomba, this isn't the steam forums

>>714071875
So many fragile nerves STRUCK

>>714071505 (OP)
Fucking pussies.

>>714088401
After they got everybody excited with the first announcement trailer, i think, they slowly started to realize they bit off way more than they can chew. So they dropped most of the narrative and campaign content and instead focused on isolated stories, to give the co-op for larpers a backdrop.

>>714088494
Doesn't even have to be that involved. Just newspaper articles in the LSPD covering the events of their last mission or they could be fancy and have some of the officers gossipping or a news report on a TV/radio.

>>714089968
>The giant gratuitous Police Station mission hub feels entirely pointless as well.

The game has been in development at least since 2016 and i think the devs are using it as a platform for more, just in general, stuff for another 10 years. I think they are more or less making it up as they go, adding missions and gear and overhauling mechanics as time goes on.

>>714071505 (OP)
i mean, going off that snippet of the update post, it seems like they're changing things exclusively for the console version (probably only due to sony/microsoft/whoever-the-fuck's guidelines or whatever) but keeping the PC version completely unchanged. what's the problem?

>>714090215
I think it's something else and they're just using the crossplay as an excuse. They are reducing gore, putting clothes on the previous nude sex trafficking victims, covering up the exposed penis of a suspect, and changing the ODing little girl to a girl who is asleep. Why do texture changes have to be applied to both versions? Previous games that required version differences were still able to play together.

AHAHAHAHAH no.
Forced censorship on PC too to keep parity because "muh can't maintain two branches" and "muh crossplay"

>>714090725
>but keeping the PC version completely unchanged
No. Try actually reading the update:
>Our age rating as it stands for console is ESRB M-rating, PEGI 18, and USK 18 to give an idea. Still, there are other game content requirements that console platforms have in order to exist on their systems, and a portion of these changes will be visible on the PC version.

>>714071505 (OP)
Yes, with the key exception of legality. In the case of a console release like this, the game should fork.

>>714071875
TOS enforceability. A class action lawsuit will get to discovery, and that's a losing position for any company that pushes too hard. Note that the gamemakers contract with the publishers like Valve do NOT allow them for unlimited alteration without facing refunds.

>Originally posted by JasonB: Sorry, but I don't really understand this at all. Unreal has an asset handling system that allows for platform-specific cooking and build scripts that can in fact swap models in place - as in, ensure that the offending model is not included at ALL in the console version of the game, without fracturing the project in two. This can happen at build time, thus solving the problem. There can be one reference to a model that is cooked differently for different platforms.

That was the FISA liason talking, which links to the weird shit FISA is involved with. There's no more because that's the last mission in the game, and the DLC seem to want to advance the story. Maybe there will be something in the future maps they're adding in the summer. The story is very slim and Void doesn't seem to be in any rush to elaborate.

>>714093483

shut up kike apologist. fuck you, the ratings boards, and the clueless deadbeat pearl-clutching soccer moms who try to make their kids society's problem

Depends. If they make chances during early access (you knew it could change for the worse), or keep offering you the option to use the 1.0 version, no.
Otherwise it depends on the impact.
A blur of some tiddies in 1 cutscene shouldn't warrant a return on a regular game but if it's a porngame that becomes a whole different matter.

GOG offers the ability to download old versions of games, why can't Steam? Why do they force updates before you can even launch a game?
This would appease everybody and not just for this particular game.

Left 4 Dead 2 literally removed all gore from the Australian version and it was still possible for ausfags to play online with everyone else with everyone else still seeing the gore.

>>714094282
>Why do they force updates before you can even launch a game?
unironically TakeJew/Rockstar of David wanting to ensure people couldn't keep their copies of GTA SA and others from updating once they'd pushed a patch to strip music from the games
the Stean change to remove the option to refuse updates coincided with the patch that removed licensed music from GTA games on PC

>>714075821
Wrong. That was actually because of the EU.

The Australian case was a matter of Steam being unwilling to honor Australians right to product that is fit for purpose, and being unwilling to refund them for a product that was not.

The Steam refund policy and its 14-day / 2-hour limitation is a commercial substitute for the EU's right of withdrawal, which is a 14-day grace period in which a consumer can withdraw from ANY contract for a distance sale without reason stated. This right had a waiver clause added it to it for digital content, after extensive lobbying by the industry boo-hoo-hoo-ing that it would ruin their business model if the right of withdrawal could be abused to arbitarily rent any game for 13 days and return it on the 14th.
The EU was willing to concede to that and offered them the means to ask a consumer to waive their right of withdrawal. However, they also warned the industry that they would periodically observe the state of the market for abuse of the waiver and that they would want the industry to offer commercial alternatives that, as much as possible without harming their business model, would keep to the spirit of the right of withdrawal. Failing to do so would result in the EU removing the waiver clause from law again, and leaving the industry up shit creek.

That's why Valve created the refund policy for Steam.
And why EA did it for Origin a few months before Valve, even.

>>714071505 (OP)
Yes

>>714087236
>Still, there are other game content requirements that console platforms have in order to exist on their systems, and a portion of these changes will be visible on the PC version.
Basically confirming that the censorship is being demanded by one (or more) of the console companies rather than any of the ratings agencies and that the console company is probably demanding they censor it on PC too so the versions have content parity. Sony is known for doing this.

>>714075723
Steam's refund policy came to be because of the EU: >>714094585

Seethe and cope.

>>714090215
The reason for that is Sony.
As part of their policies for acceptable material to release on the PlayStation platform, they demand parity in applicability of all censorship to all platforms a game is released on. A ploy meant to take away reasons for people to leave Sony's hometurf of PSN behind and venture to PC storefronts, where they would go on to discover just how much Sony had been shafting them before and not return.

>>714071505 (OP)
No and stop using the word censorship for everything

>>714095303
Luckily, the Dutch are currently suing Sony under anti-trust legislation and are steering towards similar arguments as Epic-vs-Apple and EU-vs-Apple, which might result in the EU actually stepping in and designating PSN a gatekeeper service. At which point Sony would either be forced to pull out of the EU (and lose ~60% global revenue; since their installbase is actually largest in Europe) or, just like Apple, be forced to open up the PlayStation ecosystem to alternative digital storefronts and sideloading.

I hope it pans out.
The arrogant fucks have it coming.

>>714093483
Then he should take that back to someone on the actual dev team and ask them for an explanation.
That's your fucking JOB if you work in customer relationships.

don't try to be a shakespear lawyer, just write that the devs recently removed content and changed things that are not to your liking and change the atmosphere of the game.

If you really want to go one step further mention current game preservation discussion and how games like any art are product of their times

What exactly is the best version of this game i can get (pirate) so I don't have to play censored shit?

Man that one post made people MAD. And not one person can present a valid argument against it.
You agreed to the dev's terms when you booted up the game, you're not getting refunded just because they changed some textures around.
Grow up.

The Saboteur had DLC that uncensored nudity on consoles and the PC version came with a toggle. God of War literally has sex minigames, probably a thousand more examples of nudity.

Lorena and the Land of Ruins was a porn game, which at one point got all of its porn stuff removed and is now presented as a normal game (nobody cares about).

another funny case is Little Fighter2. Ten years after releasing and 5 years after the last time the game was touched the dev released a patch with a few fixes for modern hardware and added dynamic ads panels in the start menu, also shilling merch and his other game.
Another 10 years later he announced a remaster to shill his NFT

ideally they should offer the version without such drastic changes. Paradox Interactive does that. They change games too much but always offer the roll-back option, sometimes up to the original release version as beta on Steam.
