discussion Why are so many games censored on the site? Do you even play them censored?

[CuChulainn69]

if the game is excellent I can deal with it. but it is a huge turn off

 

[Magooo]

No. I always include the censored tag in my exclude tags filter.

I would, but I always exclude 2D and ignore anything that looks cartoonish already.

 

[KYLINJ]

don't want to play anymore after seeing it's censored

 

[roux69]

I will also skip censored games unless they're very good and come with a recommendation.

 

[Belledae22]

censorship is a deal breaker for me.

 

[quotehorse]

I generally can't deal with it. It's like LaCroix water. It looks like a soda, and gets me expecting and wanting a soda, but the I take the first sip, and it's just fruity static. It tastes exactly like how pixel censorship looks.

Like which ones?

When there is an uncensored version I rather play that one

 

[butrin]

I don't play censored games because I lose interest when they are censored.

 

[MattShizzle]

"censored" and "very good" are mutually exclusive.

I a lot of Japanese games need to follow stupid laws to even be released which is often why they are censored.
But yeah I generally write a game off if I see that it's censored.

Even actual porn is censored there, which is fucking retarded. It's like decaf coffee or nonalcoholic beer. Might as well just make it illegal altogether rather than make it allowed but without the most important part. If you want Asian porn, get the kind made in a Western country using Asian women. Besides which they aren't getting fucked by 3 inch dicks then.

Censoring in an AVN is an immediate dealbreaker for me, not interested.

 

[badboy696]

If its one of these Japanese RPGM games, im all in for it. They have a charm for themselves with their censoring tbh

 

[DexterXSR]

I can deal with it, it doesn't bother me, when it comes to art censoring.

Hell, certain censorship made some games more playable (*cough* Early KEY Releases, White Album 1 *cough*) because the H-Scenes were terrible.

 

[UStinky]

Censorship can really kill it for me tbh. Thats why i love when theres a mod to uncover it all, sadly the odd of a game having it are so depressingly low

 

[xatfx]

Unfortunately, censored games are losing their appeal.
I never play them.

 

[MercurioC]

I don’t like censorship, but I’ve been playing Japanese games for years, so I’ve kind of gotten used to it. That said, I definitely prefer when the censorship isn’t over-the-top. If it’s too extreme, then it’s a no for me.

 

[broooooooxddfd]

japan has to censor genitalia by law

Patreon is a venture-backed private company. Its investors include the founders, employees, and venture capital firms, none of which want to be seen as "promoting" questionable content. Now here is where I go off on a tangent...... It is what happens when a company grows beyond its original vision and is seen by big companies as a potential cash cow. It gets harder and harder to publish certain content because of the growing outcry over it. People have forgotten or refuse to accept that the content isn't bad. "People" are bad but it is easier to blame the content. Why else would a parent sue a video game company over its content, blaming the content on their whacked out kid going out and shooting up an elementary school. Forget the terrible parenting, complete lack of boundaries and actually investing time in your kids. Lets blame it on the content. Countries like Australia have gone as far as to describe underage media, art and illustrations of any kind, as a conceptual "living entity" in order to prosecute people for it. Let that sink in, lol.

Well said. If you go into the basement of the Patreon building and scratch off the the paint, you will see the ENTIRE (almost) foundation was blocks of "incest" an "furry". I first heard of Patreon through a link to a furry game that was making 4K/month CoC. Years later I went back to his page and he was making over 10K/mo. FWIW, he also had a big note on his page asking people to contribute to "OTHER" artists, as he had plenty of money. Now that's class!

"Why else would a parent sue a video game company"

Reminds me, that I once saw a story on the local news about a mother that had been charged with "bad parenting" because her 7y/o was morbidly obese. Throughout the whole story, you could see the 7 (count'em 7) year old playing GTA San Andreas on the Playstation. Now GTA: SA was a classic, but not for a 7y/o.
