Smells and sounds like Sweet Baby.
I don’t think this was DEI, I think this was censorship to avoid Westerners. A lot of Japanese media gets censored when entering the West. Sometimes to avoid Western media attention and other times to appease Western puritan culture. Still, it’s sadly not a new phenomenon.
I really wish people paid attention before because this has been happening for decades to Japanese media and products.

censorship in media is a pure non-sense in my opinion. She is too nakey? just raise a bit the ESRB/PEGI. that's it...

Censoring? More like censorshit! Ha haaaaa!
Seriously, I hated it decades ago and I hate it today. Literally why I enjoy games like Palworld. No censorship, waifus, husbandos, and slavery! A game where I can make Ancapistan!

no censoring in Palworld?
Well, it was against their will, but Nintendo forced some censorship in their game, right? :tpi:

Nintendo is constantly censoring their games. Palworld has a cat witch with birthing hips and can be male

Stellar Blade is already rated M, above that is AO.

AO to my knowledge would basically ban the game from consoles and even on places like steam restrict visibility.

Even if AO was still treated like M, I wouldn't be surprised to find some moronic article about some dipstick who bought the game for little Timmy and is disgusted by what they saw, with places like Walmart caving in like a deck of cards pulling the game, even if the only response needed was a clown standing in front of the parent pointing to the age rating.

Something curious I listened about this awhile ago

Think about that... SHIFT UP devs make the game full uncensored and build the whole merchandising about this, about the graphics and how thicc Eve is, then Somy came in and censor them, AND not only that but they open up the possibility to regund the game because of false merchandising...

Now hear me out, if people don't refund the game, Sony stick with the money, but if people refund the game, not only SHIFT UP will lose money, but.... maybe... who knows someone might try to buy the studio...

I dunno....:sleep::sleep:

I love how whenever I hear complaints about "censorship" in games, it is always something like this. Every damn time. I guess "fighting against censorship" sounds way more important than "fighting against insufficient sexualisation in my videogames". When will the rampant oppression and censorship of the Gamers end?

Honestly it's incredible marketing. Outraged Redditors taking to the internet to post free publicity and before/after shots of whoever but now with one additional scrap of clothing.

Pathetic losers refunding a great game and cancelling PSN+ because 1 of 74 suits doesn't have enough video game boobs. These people seem to not know that there is a massive amount of free porn available and it's likely they have never seen a naked woman in person before. Fucking neckbeard nerds.

I am just against censorship, period.
Personally, I think it’s fine to lewd women but I also think men should be lewded too. We have enough sexy women in gaming, we need more sexy men and remove censorship!

Censorship is a meme, along with complaining about games having certain types of content. I think a lot of this stuff is dumb gamer baby rage that hasn't gotten better over the years. I think the moderate and true thing to worry about are poor localizations, always.

Booty is the selling point of the game, I don't see anyone complaining about Yoko Taro's Nier characters like 2B or Kainé :glare:
