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.

That said, to heck with Sony anyway.

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.

yup false advertising but i won't hold the korean boys accountable, they have to make money after making such a high budget game though i wish there was more enemy variety ( not saying any of the enemies aren't well made), actual eve have a bland personality and ngl feels like a stupid self insert like bruh make her talk hot at least like come on she's literally a puppet with small tatas. also the game needs to be a hack n slash, not this souls like

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".

Ah yes totally believable. So why arent they pleasing their customers by changing it back? Or why is there a 1.0 version where you can play the original version? Just think a little bit. Just because he says it doesnt mean thats the case. Who knows if sony added some NDA ♥♥♥♥ to shift up

Yeah, some people were outraged that they removed "hard R" graffiti from the game. Why?

Coomers with chronic porn brainrot getting upset by "censorship" of Stellar Blade are hilarious.

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!

You guys are so funny, Stellar Blade went from "awesome game, they are not afraid of beautiful women (albeit a little bit unreal), take that, woke dudes" to "censorship!!!"... over a minor change (in a terrible outfit, before and after the change)

I personally dont like the outfit either. But the thing is this: most of the people including me are more worried about futuring censorship. They can change the style entirely in the end. So if people go "meh no biggie" then they will go harder with censorship for future updates or even a sequel

If the it was a “minor” change, why changed it? Revert the change. People cannot say it was “minor” or “slight” after they got what they want.

On the other hand, I don’t mind the change of “hard R” if it was accidentally offensive, as the hateful nature of the word is clear. But the outfit changes are outrageous as I don’t find any reason for the body of a woman to be offensive.

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

I got a physical copy of a game and dunno where you found censored blood, specifically that twitter screenshot. Mb I'm just missing smth

On game ver 1.000.000, with censored outfits being uncensored, blood on eve was just like in screenshot under "censored"

Regardless of what you like or dislike, everyone should be against censorship of any kind in games, movies, TV etc.

At the end of the day, the community were promised an uncensored game as shown in many trailers and the demo itself, then a day 1 patch was rolled out censoring various aspects of the game, not just some outfits, which is still not acceptable.

The most shocking aspect of all this, are many people that are defending Sony's anti-consumer practices and lies, simply because they do not want to play the game or like a strong, attractive female protagonist in a game.

And finally, to reply to another user's comment about Eve not being "real", maybe you should do some research, you will find the character is from a model of the lead designer's own wife!

I am sick and tired of woke agenda and groups wanting everything to be how they like, and not caring about other gamers who may like something different, after all we play games as a means of escapism, for some "fun", we do not want reminding of our everyday lives all the time.

The double standards in here are also shocking, from day 1 of the Helldivers 2 PC release, it was in the TOS that you would need a Sony PSN account to play, as soon as Sony started to enforce this, you all lost your mind over it... I have no issue with that, however why do you same people think it is ok for Stellar Blade customers to be outright lied to from the start and not be able to complain and shout about it?

Give everyone what they want, add options in the game to decide how you want Eve to look and if you want full gore or a more dialled back version, and if you have so many issues with the game creator's original vision, guess what, don't buy it, don't play it, move on, simple.

The ToS actually stated the actual opposite of what you claim, it stated it was optional, the FAQ also stated that, it was changed after their announcement.

And why are we not bothered by Stellar Blade? The censorship first of all is laughable, i wouldn't even call that censorship and some of the costumes look better how they are now.

Second thing is, after the PS fanboys kept on gloating that it is an Exclusive and consistently come in here, to insult people, why would we care about some PS fanboys crying in their basements?

Stellar Blade aka Project EVE was announced as a multi platform title, Sony bought the exclusivity, with that the game officially died for us on PC, we couldn't care less about it from that moment.

another thing you said is fundamentally wrong, the Character EVE was a 3D scan of a Korean model, not the directors wife, the wife designed the character and irc also designed the costumes.

Again, why should we bother with some Plebstation game? XD
