Man I hate when games blow up and releases take longer and longer for the dev to milk every single update. Guess I'll come back in 2054 when I can finally make some little cheetos.

Music licenses are the one and only reason for some kind of "censoring".
If we want to use this word, I personally would not call it so.
Ocean wanted to avoid Adult Only rating on SG at all costs and didn't give steam any chances to screw him up, otherwise Artlist would have screwed him - money <10k$ + music gone - and a DMCA strike would hit instantly on steam.
Steam Version and Patreon version will be the same:
WIAB will not have this limitations, because the WIAB had from the beginning on explicit content and has from the get go Adult Only rating.
I can't say anything bout the changed dialogs because I haven't played the game till now, and if there are some changed dialogs then who cares?
If the are not cut out without any replacement then I'm fine with it, If the replacement makes sense or is funny or both - even better.
Or the lewd scenes will be so tame he won't have to censor them.
Yeah game is dead for me. What a fucking shame. I really hope this will notaffect his other game a all But I nhighly doubt it.

well if there was any dialogue changes im unaware of any. I was going by what was said in devlogs and post by other users on the subject when it comes to the lewds being self censored. But I assume any dialogue changes are primary do to music licenses or because he wanted a certain rating for certain countries and well he isn't going to try for that rating in S2. So I dont see why he would self censor himself again. Unless he gets more music which requires a license that makes it necessary but I swore I read somewhere someone said he going to not use music that requires a license in S2 but that could change if true.
All im saying if he does do it again it will be on him not Steam unless they change a policy. But from things ive read it doesn't look like he will for S2.
The self-censored bigots at Steam still got the last laugh though! Visited Steam and looked for "Summer´s gone"? They still made it unavailable in Germany and several other countries! This evening I wanted to buy it to support Ocean, teethgrindingly since I knew it was neutered, but surprise, SG is "unavailable in my country". "
Then they won't be lewd scenes to begin with, lol. Deliberately taming something before you create it because you changed your mind is also a form of self-censorship, iirc.

Reee reeees avoid my post. Just dropping this for myself.
I'm on your ass Ocean, No diddy. I'm gonna see through this whole "He will deliver season 2 faster, reee". There shouldn't be nothing now that will make you rework or any other bullshit to slowdown the story. Move the story ffs.

Sancho, the mod-maker, started tracking the changes down and posted results on pages previous, before giving up on it. He will still make the mod, but from my understanding the update pretty much killed his love for the VN.

Same for me, because Steam had forced Ocean to check in "Frequent Nudity", steam is doing now steam things, this was completely out of Oceans control.
And exactly this behaviour was the reason why Ocean wanted to give steam as less targets as possible.

ah I see I kind glance over most of the mod creators post I see since I dont use any of their mods for any game. but thanks fr the info
RNasc4444,C'mon Pax!
You know I adore your cheerful and positive posts. And I know you're gonna carry Ocean's water (no pun intended
You're being extra disingenuous by not only trying to imply that I don't like his music/don't find it beneficial or impactful and mentioning only what his supporters want. Wasn't the whole goal of the Steam release to find new customers??
My stance is simple. As good as SG's music is, it's not at all worth censoring hundreds of renders over it. You are free to disagree but please don't twist my arguments.
There's no intent to twist your words.
Here is your post:
Yes! Which doesn't really make it better. Prioritizing music over lewd renders in an AVN is fucking wild. Especially considering the overwhelming majority of people playing these games disable the music from the get-go.
I commented on what is said explicitly in that post versus guessing about what was not included in that post or attempting to comment on some greater body of posts here and elsewhere in this thread.
I understand and accept that there are different opinions about the music, the need for the rework, the decision to take the time to make a Steam release.
In this, I'm happy to carry Ocean's water, to be a $ supporter, to buy the AVN on Steam and to gift it to friends on Steam who have no interest in visiting F95 - not their thing.
The music Does matter to me, and it is one of the things I talk about with the friends who I gifted Summers Gone to.
I see it as a selling point for SG and something that separates it from many other good AVNs.
I find it hard to play an AVN that has no music or sound effects once I play an AVN like Summers Gone - it is just Too quiet - and the lack of sound immersion is even more evident.
So - while we agree on a number of things - I can accept that we disagree about the importance and value of the music in SG (at least enough to justify removing the renders Ocean did to maintain those music licenses).
Cheers!!

Clearly you don't know and use Steam!
Changing to a different Country via VPN doesn't change your Steam Setting of your location... hence - it doesn't matter if you change to Siberia if you could and then pass the "local" Country restrictions... if you set up Steam that you're from Germany... it doesn't matter what Country you might log in from... you need to also change your setting in Steam and that's, I think, restricted to once every 3 Month... and you could just to that in Steam, no need for any VPN - LOL
let me get this straight. steam saw that SG was an AVN and asked ocean to check for something that most if not all AVN has?
A friend of mine has created a new Steam account for his fake location of Turkey just to buy games much cheaper.
Three months of censoring the hell out of his own AVN only for Steam to give Ocean the middle finger anyways and ban it in Germany. Well deserved in my opinion.

That's new. Well then the Germans got screwed, now they're forced to come here until Ocean fixes that issue.
great now ocean needs to tell all of germany to create a new steam with their location set to whatever.
