This fucks over Japanese devs the hardest Western devs have the option of skipping PS4 and going to Xbox/PC/Switch, but Japanese devs? They either bend the knee and censor to suit California SJW standards, or they don't get to release a game, because PS4 is the only relevant console market there, Xbox might as well not exist there and Switch is still an ant compared to PS4's install base and attach rate. They literally have no choice but to let gaijin censor games, most of which will never be seen or played by the west.

David Clark
>Two factors last year combined to turn that unease into action, these Sony officials say. One was the rise of the #MeToo movement in the U.S., which pointed to the dangers of being associated with content that some might see as demeaning to women. The second was the emergence of channels on sites like YouTube and Amazon Inc.’s Twitch where gamers play in front of a camera and are watched by fans online. That means games meeting Japan’s laxer standards can get world-wide exposure.

What? Have you seen the sales numbers in any game in the last 7 years? Fucking games sells between 30k at most in PS4. Games on Switch are selling better than that.
Juan Russell
I knew western shit was fucked, but I swore never to use my PS4 again since they started ruining my Japanese games. Absolutely no regrets, s*ny is not getting another cent from me.
The only bad thing is that I'm too broke to afford a computer capable of games. I haven't played any vidya since October.
>Any game with big breasted girl = BAN Go to any Mortal Kombat thread and is full of trannies calling women with big boobs disgusting. They are just censoring the "competence" Also funny how "otakus" rape a lot less than the muslims they love so much
Nathan Nelson
>"does not inhibit the sound growth and development" of young people but muslims raping kids is perfectly fine i'm sure that wont have any effect on their development
Colton Brooks
>In general, any company making a game for a platform like the PlayStation 4, Microsoft Corp.’s Xbox or Nintendo Co.’s Switch signs a contract with the platform maker governing royalties and other items. That gives the platform maker the ability to block games it doesn’t like.
I fucking knew it. If you sign a contract to release a game on a certain platform you must release it unless you break out of it. So that's why all these devs couldn't move their game away from Sony

Sony's new in-house standards that limit sexually explicit content distinguish it from other game-hardware makers that allow a greater amount of content as long as the software carries a rating from a national industry body. It wastes a fuckload of time >She declined to say when these guidelines were introduced or to discuss them in detail. That's because the guidelines are 100% fabricated post hoc whenever someone within the corporate structure has any sort of negative emotional response to something in the game.
>sony now censors pantie shots and boobs even if nipples are nowhere near visible etc. in japanese games >nipples and dicks are fine in western games tho It's getting so ridiculous that it feels like sony has a feminist panel that gets asked whether something is "problematic" or not and it just depends on if they're on their periods or not. I really don't give a shit about ps5's specs if this keeps on.

James Long
The problem isn't with Sony or devs. The problem is shitty parents letting their kids play games rated M for Mature and then complaining that the games have unsuitable content. Most of the reason people are such shitty parents is because most people also happen to be wage-slaves so theres no time, no time for education either which would have made a difference.
Kevin Thomas
I haven't played that shit in awhile but how do you get full nudity? I could only ever see tits did they add it later or is there some workaround?

OBJECTIVE FACT: The fear in enjoyment of a woman's body is the cause of hyper degenerate fetishes like furries, brapshit, pissing, "STEP ON ME," and "BEAT ME UP" and by enforcing a fear of the female form instead of helping kids you are turning them into crazed sexual deviants.

Evan Bell
They didn't. I'm on PC and just got to this point this morning, the censor is still there. ppl keep saying the PC version isn't even censored. Y'all dumbfucks.
Brandon Harris
The aftermath would be much, much worse. It's like trying to raise your kid to be Catholic and not do any drugs (without explaining what drugs really are/do/why they can be dangerous) and not have sex (without explaining safe sex practices). It's just not going to work and the kid ends up a tranny, gay, or just fucked.
The game happens when society attempts to curb change. Change is inevitable, the aftermath of trying to stop it is generally more horrifying than just giving people what they want and moving on/worrying about things that actually matter, such as governments serving only the financial elite.
Jaxon Morgan
Ps5 is going to bomb in Japan regardless
they are pissed that they decided to abandon there home country and become western
Brody Carter
It's time for you guys to take this gondola to the world of open market (PC), leave that gay earth behind.
you can literally look from example and you'd find out that the ones that initiate wanting to experience BDSM and shit like that usually end up being from hyper conservative religious homes too, so if you're telling kids that "TITS BAD" you are breeding a generation of freaks... thanks sony.
Evan White
This guy gets it, faggots are worse than drugs or violence
Nathaniel Taylor
Because it's appealing to men. And an entire generation of women has been very deliberately groomed to be weappnized against men. And these weaponized, caustic women are just one of many things that have been perverted to create a persistent societal tension in the west. And that persistent societal tension is designed to weaken western peoples and nations, destroying societies and cultures that a certain other ethnic group has a centuries, even millenia, long grudge against.
Their rise was not organic. They were propped up and given a boost. If they cracked under pressure and went off script, they'd be replaced by another. It would have just delayed the inevitable.
Nippon culture is extremely conservative, porn is already censored there. What makes you think the Japs won't see Sony doing this and cheer en-masse? There is no more a cucked generation than the Japs, highest debt to GDP ratio on the planet by far (235.96% of its GDP) and completely socially retarded.
Blake Stewart

Jacob Reyes
>And an entire generation of women has been very deliberately groomed to be weaponized against men. As someone who has witnessed this firsthand during the first year and a half of Uni I can confirm this to be pretty true.

I think you're failing to see that this is the problem. If people are shitting on the streets it should be public like it is in India, so that the problem may be addressed/revolved/discussed. Repressing gays is an example of how this went so, so, so wrong. Now they're coming for our words and our games and it wouldn't have ever happened if we at least gave them a little bit of freedom earlier on instead of stamping on No's.

>"does not inhibit the sound growth and development" of young people. newsflash sony, preventing kids from seeing a little bit of cleavage in a video game isn't going to do SHIT to help them. Kids still get exposed to this shit from tons of other sources, preventing games from having that won't suddenly save him from liking women. what will happen is, he'll just go to somewhere else to get his tit fix like the internet or even a different console. So in reality all this would actually do is just make developers hate you for proposing that they cater to your beliefs instead of doing what they've always been doing.
Oh, look, what a surprise! I decided a few months ago to no longer support anything Sony because of their censor-happy ways, and they double down!
I encourage everyone to look into exactly what Sony as a company sells/provides, and either support their competitors (not just the Playstation brand, ALL of Soyn), or just pirate their "products". Put enough demand on them, and either Sony will cave, or their corporate supporters (from advertisers to 3rd party devs) will take note and go to where the money is: PC, Switch, etc.
They are doing this to profit off of women who are interested in gaming. Fanservice has been shown to repulse women just like fujoshit repulses men. Gaming is changing because they want the other half of the population to become addicted to gaming as well.
Hunter Diaz
Parents who buy their kids games with tiddies never want to admit it was their own fucking fault and instead want to remove it for everyone else.
Ian Thomas
You know, people will go 'it's just vidya' but this kind of constant pushing and pushing and pushing the buttons of any group, not just gamers, and just in gaming, but almost every facet of life, is what sets off movements like National Socialism or any other reactionary uprising. Eventually the gamer or the movie enthusiast or just an other wise normal person gets sick of being harassed, bullied, and generally shit on and they just collectively snap and next thing you know they're fucking goosestepping
You might laugh, you might go 'haha gamers rise up amirite' but it's the truth. Sooner or later the gamers and comic readers, other nerds, and everyone whose been affected by this social justice bullshit spilling out into the real world beyond the internet are going to get tired of having their hobbies, pasttimes and culture ridiculed, criminalized and harassed that they just snap. And the best part is, the SJW, the marxist, the cryptocommie, will act shocked and hurt and play the victim when it happens, nevet acknowledging they caused it even as they're lined up on the wall.

Why do you think that more men buy games than women? Gaming is currently catered to men for the most part. This is changing because developers want the other half of the populations cash. Are you serious? You can't be serious. The majority of women are not lesbians. Games are obviously sexually charged to appeal to men. This is why men are upset that this is changing.

>be a 'concerned mom' >feel safe buying little Billy "Blood Gore ShootEmUp 3" because no tiddies or sex >load up an episode of Rome, Sparticus, or Game of Thrones and leave it running while you do chores Sounds legit. It's the only thing that makes me hesitate to call it a planned move by bigger parties, because surely it makes no sense to target just gaming, when you have harder shit than what softcore porn could portray a few decades ago on evening TV. I mean, Blue is the Warmest Color has actual fucking lesbian sex, with full on finger banging and pussy eating, and it's 'just a movie' avalable on streaming service.
Company man? I guess that what I am called? I dunno. But I am a freelance fixer of problems for companies and let me tell you that I have done consulting and security and it is NOT that hard to undermine security for one of these sites, its not the damn CIA guarding these jewholes, its at best private security firms that have some measurement of training and/or ex military. I got no beef with them but they aint gonna be pulling armed fireguard shifts 24/7 with assault rifles. I am not suggesting nor giving advice but provided someone manages the genuinely difficult task of organization and practical members with equipment and skillsets it would be very easy to storm the building.

Hey now, we're crazy but pretty laid back and relaxed, just dont fuck with our beaches and gators Also we look forward to the apocalypse every September
The only women that care about this are the twitter landwhales that already keep telling themselves that it is ok to have zero sex appeal, those are the people Sony is catering to.
Normal girls will always concern themselves with being fuckable.
Instead of worrying about this cringe stuff just go out there and fuck a few normal girls, regardless of video game censorships, 30% of all males are not having sex at all, as studies show.
So instead of worrying about the objectification of women or whatnot. Go out there and fuck some of them, I swear to you, they want you to.
Jack Foster
that's because Commiefornians are colossal hypocrites who think it's okay when westerners do it but anime tiddies? OH NO NO NO this is mostly due to the fact the loudest voices for censorship from places like sonygaf are pedos trying to deflect attention from themselves

Well the women can put themselves in the shoes of the videogame girl being sexualized and it makes them uncomfortable. It feels predatory to them. That is the real reason why things are getting less sexual in games. Women won't play games if the male gaze stays but men will still buy games even if there is no sexualization. This means that developers are about to make some serious money in the next decade.
Colton Allen
>and gaming "does not inhibit the sound growth and development" of young people Yeah I think that sexy girls are great for the growth of boys/men.
Also for girls actually because it shows them not to get fucking fat

>A Sony spokeswoman confirmed the company has established its own guidelines "so that creators can offer well- balanced content on the platform" and gaming "does not inhibit the sound growth and development" of young people. She declined to say when these guidelines were introduced or to discuss them in detail. >"Oh, user, I think that Japanese game might be a bit too mature for you. Why don't you play this superhero game? Just right for a big boy like you!"
>Well the women can put themselves in the shoes of the videogame girl being sexualized and it makes them uncomfortable this is not at all true, women don't care about that shit. if that was the case then games like Bayonetta would never have even been made, especially wouldn't be loved by women to a point where Lady Gaga of all people set out to finish it and constantly talked about how much she loved Bayonetta. The truth is women don't care about a girl being sexy, in fact if it's other women thinking a girl is sexy they go "YASSSS QUEEN SLAY!!!!!!!!!" they only get annoyed when MEN take it to a point where they start devaluing women.

>Instead of worrying about this cringe stuff just go out there and fuck a few normal girls Why don't you go fuck yourself? I don't care about making small talk, and having to deny myself, wage slave, be fashion conscious, and witty all so I can get into some bitch's pants. I don't have the spirit to pretend I care about anything that comes out of a woman's mouth just so I can "make it" with her, and tell all my dudebros over a beer. I work, I pay my taxes, I obey the law, the least this shitpiece existence can do is let me jack it ten times to whatever big titted anime girl I'm on that week so I can relax and continue to tolerate living.
Dylan Watson
Just move to the Switch. The xbone isn't really an option since its a dead fish in Japan.
I'm in agreement with you. It's about the devaluation. That is what i meant. It's not about how attractive the character is.
Jayden Hughes

They get the sense of moral superiority that comes from doing the 'right'/wholesome thing with none of the judgement or need to actually do the right thing, being free to do all manner of degenerate shit behind closed doors.

ESRB is toothless since Gamestop doesn't stop kids from buying M games.
Sony is doing because no one cares or respects those type of games or the people who play them
Liam Diaz
another generation is on the cusp of coming out, they just have to shift to XBOX SCORPIO and Switch.
Seriously, what the fuck is going on with Sony? Like, I cannot comprehend how a company makes business decisions that are this bad. Literally all they had to do to ensure their dominance in the coming generations was to be exactly the way they were at the end of the previous generation. >Massive library of exclusives from lots of genres, from platformers, to shooters, to rpgs to driving games etc >free online >indie friendly >less restrictions than competitors
They started the generation that way and it went well until 2015 when they decided to turn into the shittiest console manufacturer.
>no backwards compatibility, pay $60 for the games you already own you dumbass consumer >no free internet, pay again to use your internet >Oh you like our exclusives? Well, we're gonna shut down like half of our studios and the rest are only going to make cinematic, third person shooters >censorship >against cross play when everyone else is okay with it
FUCK ME, I used to love this company as a kid. I literally cannot stand them anymore. Eat fucking shit, commie sony.
Austin Turner
What is "mansplaining?"
Isn't it a little sexist?
Ryan Long
the point you were trying to make is that the game makes women feel devalued when in reality women blame the MEN that devalue them. The truth is, men in the gaming industry are becoming so emasculated because of this that they are the ones pushing for all these changes within the gaming industry because they've taken women being upset at men devaluing them as "it's the game's fault women feel devalued, I'm sorry that I'm a privileged male who could never understand the plight of a woman, we must make amends!"
They've been taken over by people who unironically think you need consent before fapping to a vidya girl.
Jack Rogers
After the Japanese games industry nearly died thanks to the 360, they aren't going anywhere near you faggots.
William Torres
Women can't help that they are repulsed it's just in their biology. If anything blame developers for figuring this out and pandering to women to make more money. Also you should probably blame men for victimizing other men if you feel unsafe outside.
Isaiah Parker
It speaks volume that the people who support this garbage don't buy those games in the first place.
I once knew this really beautiful girl that had a great attitude toward life. Then she shaved off her head, grew out her body hair and showers once in a blue moon. Got piercings and everything, it was such an amazing transformation, I'm still reeling from the shock. It was around 2014-15 I'd say.
Ayden Hill
>Sony Corp. is cracking down on sexual content in PlayStation 4 videogames globally, reflecting concerns in the U.S. about the depiction of women in games but irritating some software developers No shit. I'd be totally fine with it if it was just influencing how content could be released in the US, but this is the US reaching their hand over into another country and forcing their media to conform to US standards. Imagine if fucking China was in higher power and they reached over into American and European studios and told them what they had to release in the US and America instead of just censoring it for Chinese release.
Autistic people are also more likely to be transgender and you've got to be on the spectrum to speedrun games.
Gavin Hall
You know that devs and publishers would prefer bend over and take in the ass over switch platforms right?
Just look at all those retards wanting vita 2.

Henry Johnson
Apart from the horrific attrition rate it'd be pretty good.
It was never about equality or any other bullshit they claim to be for, it was always about destroying things people they don't like enjoy, and purely out of spite. Literal toddler mentality.
This goes for Western devs too. Men design the women in videogames to appeal to other men. The way they do it turns women off from gaming. Male developers WANT women to buy their games so they are toning the sexuality down.
Grayson James
I have a feeling the Konosuba game was delayed because of this. Basically the only options for this game are PS4 and Vita so fuck. I hope the Nips kick Snoy to the curb after all this.
What the fuck do nigger dicks have to do with this?

Remember when people just thought only lolishit was gonna be censored and that this was just an overreaction and there is no way anything else would be censored because Sony is based af?

Jace Jackson
People saying that Bameco is porting to switch. I'm not sure if this is remotely true but considering that God eater popped out of nowhere it might give some credit to the rumour.
Thomas Phillips
I don't think you know how a lot of women work. Women have been highly critical of the male gaze in media for a long time. The issue is not the attractiveness of the character but how they are constantly sexualized for the male audience. Most women are repulsed by that so that's why it's changing.
Austin Gonzalez
They're all just gonna become mobile developers and make gacha games anyway. The era of traditional video games is coming to an end.
Christian Thomas
I’m worried for code milkies :(
Parker Gray
I feel like the 'anime shit' aspect is the biggest factor in discussing Snoy's censorship right now, hence that reoccurring debate happening in these threads, but once the new generation kicks off and literally everybody's games are being put through the same ringer, like the GTAs of the world, a lot more people are going to realize why this is a catastrophically bad move.
Caleb Ward
That's literally the case, they are contractually forbidden from disclosing censorship demands after the negative press they got after another dev called them out in a major JP publication, so the konosuba guys had to dance around the issue, 'complications in the production' was intended to be read as 'Snoy is making us revise shit' and as a cry for help.
This is also why Code Vein is actually delayed, screencap this. They also got SNOY'd and have to redo character designs and content on top of polishing the game. People are gonna be PISSED.
Liam James
Unironically vote with your wallet. Buy a Switch or an XBONE, don't give snoy money for a PS5.

I've literally had to analyze women behavior for a psychology/behavioral class I did, and I can tell you that women don't give two shits about other women being sexy, they only care about whether or not people are judging THEM, Women constantly judge other women all the time and they don't care if other people are judging those women as well, it only becomes a problem for them when THEY are the one being judged.

>taking away games from kids because it's inappropriate for their age Isn't that what parents are for? Encourage people to be involved with their kids so you don't have to police everything yourself.
Jacob Brown
I'm not sure why men think that women don't like games. It is just that women are repulsed by how overly sexual a lot of them are. That's why a lot of them drop the hobby. Men do not NEED games to be sexy, they will still buy the games sexy or not.
Connor Diaz
You know it's true. The game isn't just delayed because they want to improve it. They got SNOY'd. The only reason God Eater 3 didn't was because it already went to press by the time the crackdown really started in earnest.
Colton Ortiz
As someone who was an Nintendo/Sony/PC idort throughout the years and owned PS1-4 and the PSP/Vita I'm no longer going to buy any Sony consoles. Fuck 'em, I only ever got the systems because of the exclusives in the first place. Since most things go to PC nowadays I can just skip them in the next generation.
Show jap devs where the market is next gen: anywhere but Sony. Surely Yea Forums can rally behind the flag of fighting that which is trying to destroy video games as we know it, and can stand down with console warring or other pathetic shit JUST THIS ONCE to make a statement. Unfortunate but surely there is a way we can stop this, nothing is completely out of the realm of possibility.
Jaxon Myers
They all have paid online and ads. It's the same shit with every console now.

Women don’t know about sexualized games or they just ignore them. Trannies and virtue signaling faggots are the ones who oppose sexualized games.
Ryan Martin
(2/2) There is a difference between transgendered and transsexual individuals, and that difference is that transgendered people don't exist. Gender is a spectrum. Trans-ness only exists in the context of dysphoria between biological sex and presented gendered behavior. Transsexuals are people whose brain chemistry and structure differs significantly enough from that of their biological sex that they experience an uncomfortable dissonance between body and mind. The treatment for this mental illness is to take hormones and receive surgery to make their bodies as close as possible to how they feel they should be. Medical science isn't far along enough to turn man into woman though, so a lot of people like that end up becoming horrible hormone goblins.
Some men are born with brains that ate structurally more similar to female brains than male brains, and those men are typically homosexual and typically their lives aren't negatively impacted by the transition process. Heterosexual men who claim to be transsexuals, on the other hand, have brains that are structurally different from the standard male brain, but those structural differences do not make them closer to female. The differences are the closest thing we've discovered to measurable degeneracy, for example it's very common for heterosexual men who transition to experience autogynephilia. Sexual arousal towards the idea of becoming or appearing to be a woman. People like that suffer great regret upon transition. It is worth noting that the very important fact uncovered by this is that men who transition into women but who remain attracted to women afterwards are not honest transexuals, they're literally deranged sexual deviants, woman fetishists who get off to the idea of chopping their dick off and appearing to be female. Here is an archive of a relevant study: archive.is/8wMFZ

Levi Young
Corporations move so slowly. You can feel the me too moral panic bullshit ending. It’s going to be torn to shit leading up to the US election because no one is pure enough for SJWs, themselves included. So you are going to have Sony and other banning sex when the general public starts to think it’s fine. Over the next few years, when people don’t care about shaming sexual content, Sony will get heat and lose money because they shifted to a belief system 2 years too late. Couldn’t happen to a better bunch of guys.
Angel Taylor
They're not, you're just hanging around too many feminazis and reading into their bullshit. Women love sexualized men in media, god fucking knows there's a huge gamer/fujo crossover, the "women" that give a fuck are the ones in the California office making these calls. That's it.
Dominic Torres
Yes they ignore them which means that they are NOT BUYING them. Also I'm not talking about straight up porn games. I'm talking about how female characters are designed to appeal to the male gaze and how it puts off potential female buyers. How are you guys so clueless about this? Women constantly complain about it.
Carter Reed

Noah Roberts
it's a complicated answer but to sum it up, the repulsion is more on the effects that might come from letting the "gaze" become the only way to perceive women(as in, the only way people make judgement about women are based on their looks), rather than the idea that they are being getting looked at at all, because everyone is being watched at all times. If you're out in a crowded public place, chances are at least one person looks at you every few seconds, regardless of what gender you are.
Blake Allen
Fujo pandering is not nearly commonplace as men being pandered to. Men hate fujo pandering for the same reason women hate women being sexualized in games. This is why sexualization is going to be toned down across all platforms in the near future. To maximize profit. This isn't rocket science.
Jayden Gray
I've been saying this for a while now, all we have to do is survive the Japanese Olympic Games. As soon as they're done acting all cutsey and professionally for the other nations, this will all end, but there is still great risk of them being completely converted thanks to the games. We just need to hold out long enough, people.

And you have a proof to back your argument?
Benjamin Sanchez
You all know the exact reason why all this censorship is happening. Women can not tolerate competition. Seeing a busty beautiful women in any form even digital makes them feel insecure and jealous. California is well known for women with highly inflated ego and very limited abilities. They would censor everything that drives male attention away from them. It was never about incels it has always been about women's ego because believe it or not the worse thing for a woman is no one paying her any attention. There ego feeds off people's attention even incels
Adam Allen
That's a gross misunderstanding of the issue. They are not making these choices to appease a potential market of female gamers, they are doing this as a corporation to secure a good corporate social image in the cradle years of a major shift in socio-politic dynamics. The future is green, the future is progressive, so the headlines say. So as a corporation foreseeing that, eventually, being part of the names that don't actively take a stance against toxic social issues will mean bad business, it makes sense that they would sellout to the left since they're just basicalky attempting to side with the winners. Sony is probably one of the best example of a soulless company. If it was literal emperor Palpatine who was running the world, he wouldn't even have to ask for Sony to suck his dick because they'd already be hard at work even before he became Emperor. Sony is an opportunistic business and has always been. They cashed in on the DVD craze with PS2, did it again with bluray with the PS3, tried to copy the wii's success and now they're cashing in on the currently trending social movement. Am I really the only one surprised by this? It never was about appeasing women specifically. Sony simply doesn't have integrity as a game and hardware dev.

Kevin Sanchez
Well yeah that's the problem for potential female customers. The amount of sexualization is too high and it puts them off from entering the hobby. Gaming isnt niche anymore. Investors want to take full advantage of female purchasing power.
Leo Bennett
It seems like they are doing this because the audience that consumes such products is niche and they know they can get away with it while just painting them all as the enemy
Wyatt Baker
It isn't the entire USA the ESRB is literally an unnamed group of people from California that are basically fundie soccer moms and they decide what America is allowed to see, and now that Snoy has moved their HQ to Cali they get to decide what Snoy can publish worldwide we're not all prude faggots

It's not about competition but it's about them empathizing with the female characters being overly sexualized. Women self insert with female characters and they don't want to be represented in that way.

Xavier Butler
Men develop the majority of games. It is men who are making these decisions for profit. Men also allowed women to vote and work to become tax payers FOR PROFIT. Blame greedy men.
Asher Cooper
Yes, PC is a platform for adults, hence why I can get anything from the latest kiddie platformer to hardcore loli rape games on it.
Adam Carter
All the women I know that play video games have no problems with sexualization in games and think its stupid that Lara Croft has smaller breasts. Can you tell me what led you to believe this? And why are shirtless men with muscles bigger than humanly possible never mentioned by any of these people? Its only the feminists that are happy with this.

No, it's specifically white men, who are catering to their retarded women. Men also develop the majority of games in Japan, yet Japan doesn't have this issue. It's white women, it's always been white women, they're a genuine cancer.
Jace Anderson
>This is the only positive, they need to drop the weebshit and try to make games for western players.
10/10. Enjoy this (you).
Brayden Scott
That makes little sense, women mostly play different games than men do. Why change games to appeal to women instead of making new games instead? And why force it upon publishers/devs?
Josiah Peterson
We need to develop antimatter bombs. All of the destruction, but none of the fallout. A safe way to turn California into the California Sea.

Because making games is hard, and women would rather force others to do it for them than learn to do it themselves.

Adrian Howard
This. If you're into weebshit like you say and bought LEs, you can sell the excess off and get yourself a nice PC. Hell, my modest collection ended up being worth about $900 when all was said and done.
Because nip devs live in a bubble and only thing remotely relevant for them is japan. Any localization or fuckery that happen on west don't matter.
Thomas White
>what in the holy fuck does it take to stop their disgustingly blind loyalty to Sony? Jap devs are too scared to leave the Sony platform despite their audience arguably being larger on PC, Switch, and XONE. Take the Senran Kagura director for instance; He stated he HAD THE CHANCE to completely escape Sony and put his games on PC and Switch only, but he didn't because, and I quote, "PC gamers only like shooters". Fast forward one month later and he resigned due to sony censorship, killing the series forever when he had the chance to save it.
Jaxson Edwards
The saddest part about this is that it's impossible to put an age on a fictional character based on appearance alone. But apparently not in America because western women age so poorly and hit the wall at 18, therefore any drawing with a semblance of youth must be underage

>Imagine if fucking China was in higher power and they reached over into American and European studios and told them what they had to release in the US and America instead of just censoring it for Chinese release.
>did it again with bluray with the PS3, Sony was the leading partner behind Bluray development. That was them actively using their position in the video game market to make sure their product won against HD-DVD, it wasn't Sony opportunistically riding a wave of popularity.
Justin Gutierrez
>Xbox.
Oh fuck off, every single time that a nip game lands on xbox it fucking dies and sell negative numbers.
Matthew Howard
I'd legit argue Xbox is going to have a bigger audience in japan than Sony in the coming years if Sony continues to push japanese dev's buttons. At some point the bubble will burst, and when it does Sony will happily let them go because they simply aren't as profitable as western games from SIE.
Grayson Powell
>I am a fucking idiot, and I got a lot of replies. LE BASED I EPIC TROLL U
Jesus fuck you worthless redditor. What makes you think that Yea Forums is just a place where you can post stupid little shit, worthless buzzword, make garbage post without any though? You're an idiot, don't even try to defend yourself.
Get the fuck out Reddit.
Nathan Moore
I am done with sony, i will never buy another product made by them again, this is 90's tier censorship and if i value something its freedom of choice.
Oliver Butler

Bentley Stewart
>does not inhibit the sound growth and development of young people And California is the best judge for that sort of thing?
Mason Adams
It doesn't really matter because they're all switching to mobile games anyway.
Jackson Robinson
Why are they all leaning to the right?
Levi Carter
That's actually why I deliberately picked China, as well as to relate to the whole Winnie the Pooh thing.
Leo Morgan
>"does not inhibit the sound growth and development" of young people.
Then what the fuck are ratings for you dumb fucking cunts. Fuck sony, can't believe I'm saying this after spending this long shilling for sony.
Robert Morales
>letting people that can't handle works of fiction be in charge
Since when has "fujo pandering" kept men from buying games? I had no problem enjoying Sengoka Basara.
Hudson Powell
This is another reminder why I hate those radical centrists who think they are being smart, who pollute the minds of many by pretending the evangelical Christians or the right just as bad as left wingers. LE LE. What an ignorance of the situation.
Leftists are a dangerous cult, and they win because they are fanatical in it.

You are fucking delusional and Xbox still keep selling like 300 units at best. They just going bend over and take in the ass while doing some excuse to not support other platforms or just move to switch.
>Enjoy your Western shit doesn't impact me at all (yet) i don't own sony shit
Levi Reyes
retard when a floridian calls another state's behavior bad, it's BAD
Landon Bailey
>win because they are fanatical in it No they win because they are better at hiding their agenda in nice sounding things than the right and their irrational jew hate.
Isaac Bailey
Wait, Sengoku Basara was fujoshit? I loved that show wtf.
Jordan White
That user is talking out of their ass. Very likely another retarded white woman.
I think this insidious argument is a way to defer the real culprits in this, which is far left politics. Not this "we want to appeal to women" bullshit.
Jonathan Gray
>far left politics. Not this "we want to appeal to women" bullshit. What's the difference?
Jaxson Russell
>No they win because they are better at hiding their agenda in nice sounding things than the right and their irrational jew hate. The right's hatred of Jews isn't irrational. You're right that "free Palestine!" sounds better than "gas the kikes!" though, even if the end goal is the same.

If it’s the greatest country in the world, why do MIGApedos say it needs to be made “great” again

Women are repulsed by how hard the games are, they don't drop it all together. And MEN or everyone in general don't need to play games at all as there are other hobbies.
Jason Jones
Smaller Japan devs will just jump to Switch. I am OK.
William Allen
Here's what I want to know. Why is this only affecting Japanese games?
Luis Cox
When do you think playstation will be six feet under?
Luis Rivera
>and they win because they are fanatical in it Exactly this. They've gotten this far because they are extremely aggressive and nepotistic. They won't stop once Sony has completely fallen either. Attempts to take over or destroy Nintendo and PC gaming will ramp up next. Anons, don't think you're safe just because you've ditched Sony or are already outside their territory. There is only so much land for you to flee to before you'll be pushed into the sea.
Jack Baker
A Venus of Willendorf is worth more than all of your so-called "modern" art.
Mason Williams
You mean the same guys that wanted a Vita 2?
Andrew Taylor
Agreed
Jonathan Mitchell
I partially agree, but I think the limits are not correctly set. Crackdown on sexuality is too intense, to the point that it censors a beautiful symbol of femininity and maternity (breasts) but doesn't even consider the most messed up, grotesque violence the industry has ever conceived. So the players are being too obsessive about sexuality in video games, but so are the companies censoring them. We are not even talking about lolicon or other legally controversial stuff, but things that should easily be contemplated under age ratings.
It honestly never really left. It might not be enforced, but the idea of curbing content for fear of it's return is still in the minds of people and the same will happen to video games if they let it control them.
Jayden Gutierrez
That's what I said. The switch.
Juan Hall
>Smaller devs go Switch >Larger devs go PC >Women and faggots stick with PlayStation Works for me.
it wont die, but there will be a large drop before they start turning things around PS5 will sell worse than xbone, it will be completely dead in japan with all jap devs moving to PC or switch a few years later the japanese sony execs will wake up and move their HQ back to japan
Ayden Collins
>"so... gaming "does not inhibit the sound growth and development" of young people" Who the fuck put sony in charge of this? Nobody that I can recall..
By the way, this is 100% conservative mindset not the mindset of a liberal. So please keep your political bullshit on /pol/
Michael Ortiz
Turn off the lens flare, my dude. And all your other post-processing dogshit for that matter.
Nathan Watson
No, you don't get it.
They wanted a Vita 2. Not another Nintendo console, lot of them are just porting shit to "test waters", but they never were jumping the ship.
Dylan Watson
>"does not inhibit the sound growth and development" of young people. oy vey
Why is it that anytime one of the major companies gets a big lead they automatically start doing retarded shit to tank themselves? It's happened with Microsoft, Nintendo multiple times, and now Sony for the second time. This has to be some kind of curse.
Did all the subtext of fiercely passionate relationships between emotional and attractive young men fly over your head because you thought "Oh, they're just angry because they're fighting a war"?
Jackson Torres
modern sony is a tragedy, I miss the PS1/PS2.
Daniel Allen
How sad.
Luis Thomas
Yeah pretty much.
Leo Peterson
This
Andrew Williams
The CCA was actively enforced for decades, user. And the entire industry still hasn't recovered from its implementation. Not by a long shot. Better strap yourself the fuck in.
Brody Bailey
Western developers pay attention to the media and see that straight-male-targeted sexualized fanservice is publicly taboo. They've already been self-censoring. Japan really doesn't care what anyone outside Japan thinks, so they had no problem making games with titty ninjas or sexy catgirls until Sony (now an American company) told them that wasn't cool anymore.
Kayden Cook
don't care about hentai weebshit
Leo Hall
Hahaha. Snoy fans btfo.
Jaxon Anderson
Yeah, "enforced". Marvel and DC were ignoring it since the 70s, only putting on comics out of obligation.
Connor Price
>does not inhibit the sound growth and development" of young people
But ultra gore like in Mortal Kombat 11 is perfectly fine right? Boobs, however, now that is bad for young people.
Austin Reed
To summarize, when you are a huge company (like top 3), marketing plays a bigger role in your sales than your actual product does. As such, the marketers in the company are the ones that make or break the company, so the well-performing ones are the people in the company most likely to climb the corporate ladder. As the company becomes increasingly top-heavy with marketers, they lose track of the product because marketers are not product people. This inevitably results in the company doing stupid things that hurt the product in the name of marketing, which will eventually drive customers away when they get sick of being fed shit. Eventually the company as a whole suffers and downsizes. If the downsizing gets rid of the shitty marketers at the top then the company can revitalize with a decent product. If the downsizing gets rid of the actual product people at the bottom then the company continues to suffer and die a slow death.
Obviously a lot more complex in real life but that's the gist of it.
Eli Myers
sony was a mistake
Oliver Price
>By the way, this is 100% conservative mindset Makes sense considering neocons and neolibs are two sides of the same turd.
James Evans

Samuel Reed
USA was never the greatest country to live in at any point in history. Not even for a day.
Steve was a bit of an outlier because he was a marketer that actually had some product sense. Because he knew the market and he knew the product, he was able to steer the development of the product to suit the market. After he died Apple lost its top-down product sense, which is pretty evident in how terribly uninspiring all their products are in the current day. I say this as someone that has never owned an Apple product.
Oh yeah I forgot he was the one that did that interview. I was stealing his reasoning but I couldn't remember who it was.
Luis Richardson
It's always the case. ALWAYS. These fucking self righteous cunts have always got dirt to cover up and think that if they do some good boy points that no one will look into them.
>This is the worlds foremost in advocating against child porn, there is no way he could be a molestor
I will never trust anyone that says they fight for censorship, they always turn out to be dirt bags.
Michael Miller
The fuck are you on about moron? Hitler literally had the SA private army abolished because its leader was found to be gay, and the leader and all his gay lovers were shot.
Ryan Lopez
