7Even and by extension Senran Kagura itself getting killed by Sony was unironically a turning point for the whole industry, it marked an irreversible shift towards increasing censorship and pozzing of heterosexual Japanese games and signaled that pure, unfiltered Japanese experiences would no longer be permitted on the greater market. It was the death knell of moe otaku games. All the remaining notable series either followed it into the grave (Omega Labyrinth, Genkai Tokki, Bullet Girls, Gal*Gun) or have been slowly circling the drain since (e.g., Neptunia). Senran Kagura was the canary in the coal mine that gaming was no longer going to be for gamers, they were being replaced for the "modern audience", and anything that clashed with said audience's tastes would simply not be allowed to exist. All of Sony's peers have since adopted a version of their policies, it is now literally impossible to make anything like Senran Kagura today. The vidya industry has been "zoned" aka ghettoed much like the anime industry is steadily being; if you want anime girls with fanservice, it's basically just gachashit or H-games for you now, and the latter's position is getting more and more tenuous as well.
