I don’t know why Sony caved in for these journalists & censored there game which is all about fan service why sign an exclusivity deal for a game from a developer known to have fan service & cleavage on his games? Sony turn Stella Blade from a great game to a shit show that gamers just want to move on from this sad conversation w 2 extreme sides. It was similar to Spider-Man 2 where the conversation around woke made enjoying the game & talking about the game insufferable.

Even weirder why Sony would censore a game that promoted itself to be uncensored like there’s no way Sony wasn’t aware. Not even Nintendo from what I know censored Bayonetta.

Sony can’t even release a game w it having a bs fake narrative or bad pr helldivers 2 selling more on PC & HD2 not selling on PS (PS gamers don’t buy there games narrative) even thoe PC has 3x to 4x playerbase, FF7 rebirth “poor sales” even thoe there’s half the PS5 compared to PS4 so rebirth is tracking similar if not better if you take into account the smaller user base, helldivers 2 going to Xbox (which is fake & nothing more then cope), Stella blade censorship & people now saying how you don’t need a PS to play PS games & instead to just wait for there games to be ported.

But hey Sony brought all this into themselves this wouldn’t be a conversation if Sony just shut down all of these rumors or didn’t release games on PC a direct competitor platform opening that pandora box & instead shouldve double down on PS console & increase first party output & found other methods to increase profits like Nintendo has done.
What outfit from the demo was censored? There was like 3 outfits and the bunny one was not there. You're just reading what the weirdos are saying and repeating it.

Another Sony release that was sabotaged by grifters 🤦‍♂️

Of course there are grifters like that Mark Kern clown, but many of those people are/were genuine.
That guy was funny when he went after the xbots but now I think he's dangerous and he needs to be silenced. His campaign against Stellar Blade is ridiculous. Even with the supposed "censorship" the game is still more sexy than 99% of games out there. That's like complaining about a porn movie not showing enough.

He has a petition with thousands of signatures. It's going way too far 🤦‍♂️

You're right, but what was the point of even making these changes in the first place? Now look what happened, the entire conversation is about this pointless BS instead of an amazing game. Sony always shoots themselves in the foot like this.

Sony? Why would Sony ask this when there's a lot worse in the same game? Shift up did that themselves or a rating board somewhere asked them to.

I agree with you that Sony releases are always sabotaged by external factors and they don't do anything to counter it (FF7 sales, Ronin same day as DD2, Stellar Blade controversy). It's like they look for it at this point. Total silence every time.

Sony needs to stand firm behind their partners and stop allowing outside voices to affect their business. This entire takedown of the game was further instigated by Microsoft.

It's a game for adults, let it be as is.

That's what I was saying. Jimbo the idolized leader, which was actuallya fraud. He was a fucking racist against Asian games. Glad this old bozo is gone. But his influence sadly remains. The damage is too great...
Hermem is still there though? And he doesn't like Asian devs either 🤔

I went to see on GAF and the person the most mad about this is Manabyte, the biggest gamepass and Xbox astroturfer there. Very fishy. This controversy was all manufactured by them and then twitter went crazy. It's spreading everywhere. It works everytime and Sony doesn't do anything.

Sony has been leading the charge in gaming censorship since the beginning of the PS4 era. And it's definitely not Shift Up, look at their other games.... It's 100% Sony's call.

Yes he is still there but he will not become CEO. I bet here with you that neither an European nor American employee will become the next head of PlayStation. It doesn’t makes sense to focus anymore on AAA Hollywood. Hiroki Totoki critised openly PlayStation studios like Insomniac, Naughty Dog and Guerilla because of their horrendous budgets they devoured and also the performance of ND. AAA games will still come but in much smaller scale we knew. Therefore it makes no sense to elect a western person as the next CEO. The next 100% will be Asian. Even if it's not a Japanese and they appoint someone like Lin Tao would be a huge win. PlayStation needs to get away from this AAA Blockbuster Hollywood tapes. Make cool games again with focus on gameplay rather than 20 hours CGI.

Sony I assume fired the entire PR department because that's the only excuse I can think of why they continue to allow their games and their partners to be subjected to these obvious orchestrated smear takedown and they remain silent.

They don't even engage with their own community and help to give positive content creators a bigger platform to help steer the conversation around the brand.

They continue to let the biggest loser and its deranged fanbase the power to smack them around and dictate the narrative.

Exactly, which makes it even more dumb. They invited needless controversy for what? Now there's a petition and people requesting refunds....Whoever did it has no foresight.
I think they just need to ignore the idiots who are crying about censorship. Saw a take earlier today that another outfit was changed, in which they actually removed a part of the fabric, was "censorship".

These people just want to be perpetually outraged. They can't take a simple win with a game that has a phenomenally sexy character with several outfits that are close to naked and very exposing. They simply HAVE to be outraged at everything.

People who aer complaining about it being "Censored" because a piece of fabric on her tits are just as bad if not worse than the people giving the game a lower score because Eve is sexy.
Because now everytime you want to talk about creative integrity you'll be compared to the fucking incels losing their shit over 2 square inches of teat.
