They have cut the bawls off their native JP devs for years that do fanservice games to the point the Senran Kagura dev just stopped making games, and you guys thought they wouldn't to a Korean dev? The only games that get through without censorship are western games which they turn a blind eye to. You can have actual sex in those and get through just fine.
Well I was very skeptical when Sony claimed to be the publisher for the game. And I stayed skeptical till the demo was leaked early and I saw some footage of it with showing off jiggle physics and also the playable skin suite. That gave me hope. Then, a few weeks later, the demo was offically released and all these things were still in it, unchanged. At that point Sony gained quite some trust back. I still was a bit skeptical, but not as much as I was weeks before. Then, a few days before release, they announced and confirmed that the game will come out uncensored in all countries, including Japan. Well, another very good sign and a step in the right direction. Well, until release ofc, where they blew up all the faith and trust they have build over the last weeks and months.

So as you can see, it was quite a rollercoaster, but before release they were continuously going in the right direction (which they normally wouldn't do in the first place) that they were able to gain back some trust and created a good amount of hope in all of us, that finally things will change for the better.

Now, with the release and the censorship that came with it, I have no trust anymore. And the fact that they can change things afterwards whenever they want is really sad. I mean that this game even exists and still has a good amont of fan service in it, it still a good things. But in the end, all this drama is not very convincing going into the future. This will probably be the last console I did buy, who knows. Shift Up on the other hand needs to be supported. If they make enough money (Nikke their mobile game is already very successful), they probably won't need Sony as a publisher anymore. And then they can bring it out on their own and release it on PC, which would be very nice as well.

Oh and in terms of Senran Kagura, yeah that was also a very fun game. As well as Onechanbara Z2 Chaos, especially the Banana Split Edition (maybe you have seen it :sneaky:). Great times.
After that it pretty much went downhill fast. And since Sony has moved the HQ to the US, it's pretty much sealed that those good times are over.

Stellar Blade was/is the only game nowadays that can hold a candle those titles. Even though, the fan service is quite tame in comparison to the other two game franchises I mentioned above. Just imagine a Banana Split Edition for Stellar Blade. Holy hell, the internet would burn in no time. Gamers would get heart attacks over so much sex appeal (especially in those graphics) and the woke agenda would explode into pieces because they can't handle the insanity. I would pay to see that happen :ROFLMAO:

The censorship boogeyman is only a real threat if it is government clamping down on free speech of the populace. What companies do to make money is their own business. Just don't buy the damn thing and speak with your wallet. That's how capitalism works. If there are so many woke people these days that appeasing them is the correct business model, then it's obviously the right decision to do so as a company. It's not even a porn game, so... who really gives a shit, other than to get outraged by inconsequential shit? It's not like you are trying to fap while playing fast pased ARPG.

Anyways, I just read up on Shift Up. It's a company founded by Kim Hyung-Tae, legendary Korean character artist. Notably, for War of Genesis and Magna Carta series. That's pretty cool. I played War of Genesis way back then. It was some top tier SRPG when Korean gaming industry was nothing compared to Japan.

Everyone is able to invest a minute of his precious time to sign the petition. There is nothing to lose, we can only win.
No online petition in the history of the internet has gone anywhere
Again, I support the the sentiment but your energy would be better spent orating in front of local governments instead of retarded petitions that don't mean anything to anyone.

Even gaming industry crash will not help if there will be no successful patterns.
Of course, all these corporations go bankrupt => no games anymore therefore no censorship either.
Still won't buy your korean grindfest, sorry :KEK:

Can you tell me in short what gamergate was menat to be? And how it turned out?
(I wasn't paying attention at that time.)

But as far as I know (correct me if I'm wrong), gamers were just criticizing journos about being biased and unfair with their articles and reviews. And if so, this would still be true to this day. But instead of changing things, they didn't take the critic serious and turned it all around, playing the victim role and critcize gamers instead of threatening and stuff.

In short, this is what I read about it. But like I said, I wasn't paying attention at that time. So maybe I'm wrong. If so, please enlighten me xD
well pretty much that aside of the thing also attracted the worst of the gaming community but that always happens in every discussion or movement. Also wanting journos to not be biased probably meant for some to just have journos in line with their views which is ok for me, gaming journalism have been kinda one sided anyway and today even more people feel left out or unrepresented or demonized tho from what im seeing gamergate 2 "influencers" are basically SJW 2.0 by just comparing their behavior with SJWs during the first gamergate.

This is a laughable thing to say on a porn game piracy site where the main form of censorship comes from crowdfunding companies telling people what they are and are not allowed to spend their money supporting.

Thanks for the additional information and clarification.
Yeah, it's a very strange world we are live in. Normally there wouldn't be any problem at all. But the woke crowd is clearly lacking tolerance and common sense. The hypocrisy these people possess is beyond crazy. They want to have everything for themselves, without giving anything back in return.

Is there even a single successful triple A game those people did create? No! Instead of building something on their own, all they do is going after established franchises with large fanbases, then they bitch and whine and complain that those franchises aren't made for them and that they need to change to fit the woke agenda. In the process they attack the fans, make up bad publicity and after a while most of them give in and change stuff to the wokes favor. Which results into those franchises completely losing their own identity and getting pretty much burned down to the ground. Becoming only a shell of their former selves.

THIS is what we see happening every single time. And this will go on forever till we have nothing left to fight for. And for life of me, seeing that to happen is not even an option. We need to stay strong and fight back to defend what we love. And signing a Petition is the bare minimum everyone can do (generally speaking).

True! There are several companies pulling the strings in the background. Even patreon wouldn't be as restricted if it wasn't for paying services like Paypal.

I already signed a while ago. But I agree. Unfortunately (and not to be negative) but this petition won't change a thing. Also for those of you whom may not know. A large part, maybe the root of this woke bullshit are to massive investment companies called Blackrock and Vangaurd.

They have majority share-holds in everything form Microsoft to EA to non-gaming business. These companies have "ethical rules" that dictate how they invest and how much in their investments. People whom meet these DEI/ESG requirements are seen as low risk and are given higher investments. (It's actually a little more complicated than that, but it gives you a basic idea).

Baldurs Gate 3
Idk if you played the game but everything insaw there was pretty woke to me, they even had non binary bodytypes and women have better strenght statd than all male characters, and you can even fuck a bear which baited conservative media. But because is a fun game(despite being the most generic fantasy setting, i prefer something more rich and creative like Warhammer fantasy) most people seem to say it isnt, i dont want to sound like a conspirationist but is hard to ignore those aspects of the game and seeing people qho scream woke not saying anything about that just because they had a good time playing the game lmao.

Btw the market is filled with progressive people, thats why they keep hiring even more of them and are worry about sensitivity wven if that doesnt make sense in a fantasy setting, which is my main issue, makes sense if you want to make a game about ww2 with a jewish resistance and want to consult people about getting a accurated representation but that doesnt make any sense when you go about writing about a new alien race or in a fantasy setting.

You keep going on about the woke agenda. I don't have a dog in this fight, I have no interest in Stellar Blade, but I can guarantee you that the "woke agenda" is not driving decisions like this at Sony.

Sony's leadership and stakeholders are interested in one thing and one thing only: profit. Decisions like this are based exclusively on math. I promise you they have done the math and have determined that they will make more profit with the release strategy they've chosen than with the one you wanted.

Now maybe to you that just means the "woke agenda" gets pushed a layer or two up -- Sony is chasing profit in an environment shaped by a "woke agenda", and if that agenda were not so pervasive they'd realize they could profit more by targeting a more adult audience. And sure, maybe there's an argument for that, and maybe it'd be nice if those kinds of pressures weren't shaping the market, to whatever degree they actually are. (I honestly don't know. I've been in and around the software/dev scene for a long time and it doesn't seem to me that publishers are any more or less eager to chase that market in 2024 than they were thirty years ago. I suspect that if the "woke agenda" were not the hot-button topic it is in 2024, most large publishers would still be reluctant to go out on any kind of limb for an adult-targeted release.)

tldr: be upset if you like, but don't mistake the pursuit of profit by a company like Sony for a "woke" or moral choice. There are no moral judgments attached at all, on any level, at a publicly traded multinational corporation like Sony. Every decision like this is pure numbers.

Imagine still believing this in 2024 when almost every previously successful franchise has been found 'problematic' with original fans getting ostracized and called names for liking it in the first place and need to accept 'the new normal'.
Yeah, that sounds like profit.

Stellar Blade is a phenomenal new game that just launched on Playstation 5 worldwide. But it has a problem. The content has been censored from the original trailer version posted by Sony. We, as gamers, want this content back. We relied on it, we made the game the #1 pre-order worldwide because of it, and this is the true game we want.
I'll sign a petition for people to stop pre-ordering games.

I never said Sony was making *good* decisions, or decisions their fans would like. I just said they were 100% driven by Sony's pursuit of profit. If their revenue models indicate that they'll make more money if they set their old fanbase on fire and chase a new one, that's absolutely what they'll do. Fans are pretty low on the priority list to begin with, and fans who hang out on pirate forums are even lower.

Literally look at what is happening with Helldivers right now. Companies dont care about optics, they care about your data, because its really valuable.

Guys, for ANYONE doubting that our voice matters, just look at the current helldivers 2 petition and backlash. Sony were forced to give in and take back their nonsense online requirement for pc players (I don't own or play the game myself). Long story short, GAMERS DID WIN (y)

Now we need the same for Stellar Blade. And even though you don't own the game yourself. JOIN and FIGHT BACK! In the end, it's not just about the game itself, but about STANDING UP AGAINST CENSORSHIP IN GENERAL. Let's stand together and keep signing the petition. OUR VOICES DO MATTER!!! (we see it again and again)
