I have zero interest in this game, so I have no horse in this race, but the censorship does seem a little silly. It’s rated M, are we really so puritan that a little cleavage needs to be covered up?
I am not mad about not being able to play the uncensored version. I was likely never going to play it anyway, since it’s not the style of games I play.
I am mad that devs wanted to make a game certain way and Sony stepped in to censor it. And this kind of puritan censorship is spreading everywhere.
Sure, its tiny. Honestly, if it wasn’t for the promises from devs that there would be no censorship, I doubt anyone would notice. In this case, it is just about the principle for me.
Right. In a world of unlimited and free internet porn where every niche is well catered for, what we need to worry about are skimpy swimsuits in games.
Inb4: I don’t have any issues with pornography, each to their own. But you can define have too much of a good thing!

It is silly but what’s even sillier is being legitimately mad at this
Can we just agree that everyone is a little stupid here? Except for us. We are Rad.
I can agree that I am very smart and cool

I am not mad, but I am disappointed in sony on principal. I want to see the game the devs wanted to make. Eventually. If it comes to PC one day.

I think they were trying to avoid getting a Cero Z rating in Japan.

I read Japan is making them censor the game so that could be part of the reason. The ‘Hard R’ graffiti is something else.
Correction: It was EA Japan complaining about why the Japanese rating board banned their game but allowed Stellar Blade uncensored.

They didn’t. Only 2 weeks ago the Devs were boasting about it being uncensored.
From an outside perspective? Yes.
