Remember that Sony also censored Stellar Blade recently

[BBSon John]

On principle ground, Sony is anti-consumer and highly ignorant about the market they are in. It is not just about Helldivers 2. It is a greater issue with Sony damaging developer's visions.

I don't see the "censorship" of Stellar Blade as an issue.
That said, to heck with Sony anyway.

What did they do? Slightly change one outfit, or is there more to it?

Yep. That's it. They decided maybe focusing on people who can't figure out how to browse adult web sites as an audience wasn't the way to go.

Funnily, it probably got censored because of all the people holding up the cheesecake as a sign of how bad 'woke' games are was creating a PR nightmare they could see coming.

The issue isn't in that there is slight cenzorship in itself.
The issue is that it was stated there won't be any cenzorship and it was supposed to be a selling point for the game. Yet they forced it anyway.

Basically they said, they are willing to lie all the time in order to sell/advertise something and that they have no respect for their consumer.

3 outfits and blood/gore. Well what is to say they won't censor more things in next patch. Who knows these days.

Anti-consumerism. Altering developer's vision. Two points draw a line.

They said they won't censor the game --------------> Then bend the knee.

Costumes got censored along other stuff.

Imagine censoring a game rated M............ so yeah avoid Sony products.

It is an issue when its done immediately after its launch. If they changed the outfit and teased its greatness then people would complain, but not as much. And it would be entirely respectful of the consumers... But can't have that!

Indeed, they forced censors on the cleavage and tight areas of the costumes. The aesthetic looks weird and not faithful to the original designs.

Uh, the director of the game himself said this is not true and the devs changed the outfits themselves. People are so quick to hate on Sony because it's the cool thing to do. There isn't a single scrap of evidence supporting this theory that Sony required it. It's honestly pathetic that people get so worked up they don't bother to research the validity of "information".

well yeah even japan disowned sony, it's literally just a bunch of Californians running the company now

the director of the game has to sell a game, besides what he said means he is admitting to false advertising.

does it affect people on steam? I believe the Console fanboys constantly coming in here made one thing clear to us, we ain't buddies, we did it for the steam people, we couldn't care less about Sony fanboy army.
