Censorship in agony vs outlast 2

[Ace Rimmer]

Does anyone know what the situation was for outlast 2 and how it compares to aginys? A few months ago it got a uncensored patch, there's now more vorghina and a bit more gore.

Red Barrels developed and published the game - so they didn't have a sh*tty contract with a publisher and were free to do anything they liked.

Btw., is there a good "Mature" vs. "Adults only" comparison for Outlast 2 out there? With pictures and/or videos?

The differences in Outlast 2 are less pronounced and-of course-they didn't falsely advertise the game with "non-censored" art, trailers, demos, etc.

Outlast 2 just added a few more gore scenes (Ithink) and added a sex scene + changed the angle of the birth scene to show the terror of childbirth.

And let's not forget that the player isn't the one comitting acts of violence.

Agony and Outlast 2 are two different kind of censorship, Agony developers tried to sell the game how it was intended to be. They inserted every scene they thought into the game and submitted it to control by the censorship commissions as it was, then the game was rated AO and censored for console release, then their publisher forced them to censor it also for PC because their contract didn't provide for the sale of a title prohibited to minors.
Outlast 2 has never officially received the classification AO, the developers have selected during the development the most suitable scenes to have a M rating and have then re-added some of this content (probably others belonged to previous versions of the game and have not been able to) only for the PC version. The "preventive censorship" like that of Outlast 2 is the most prevalent on most games, also Resident Evil 7 used this method.

None of those are even relevant to this situation, as none of them made promises to the PC crowd, specifically, and the Indie title even fixed it for the PC crowd instead of bowing to a contract..

Doesn't quite make sense neither, if you're cut in half you do not survive. Neither will simple stitches re-attach your lower body. Even if by some miracle you survived there's no way you can ever use your legs again. So the story would be over. It's a gruesome picture to be sure and I'd love to have seen it but it's actually good they cut that part out because it would simply make no sense.

Outlast 2 uncensored patch indeed got va*ginas re-introduced, so gender equality police can rest easy now. Still, they didn't solve the Val's gender debate, still looks like an androgynous female to me, but trans community would want nothing more than to make this character a martyr for their trans-normalization/encouragement cause. Which is sickening in my opinion, they are game characters, nothing more. Shouldn't be dragged into politics, just like games themselves.

So many things don't make sense on Resident Evil 7, your leg is cut off with a shovel or a chainsaw, you get it back in a few seconds and walk as if nothing had happened, your hand is cut off, you walk for minutes with the stump that spurts blood but you doesn't bleed to death and so on.
