Why artists have to be censored

I’m not advocating for anything. I’m saying that changing these skins is not censorship. The content is AGS’ to release however they want it to be released, that’s prerogative of the publisher and the agreement they make with the artist. So how is it possible to “censor” your own content when you get to decide 100% creatively what is in it?

Just because there is a different version released by a different company with different standards does not mean that is censorship. That means AGS is willing to put out a different product at the risk that some people won’t like it. As clearly demonstrated here. That’s not censorship, that’s choosing not to cater to an audience you’re not targeting.

It’s censorship because it’s changing already released content to make the content more acceptable to a group of well… idiots, content which absolutely fits within the rating the game has in all applicable regions

Its not though. It’s not released in NA/EU region. Absolutely game companies have to consider the rating when releasing the game. When you make your own game you can decide what arguments you want to fight with the rating board or with your lawyers about. No one is telling any of the other regions they have to change.

It is.

Do you honestly believe any content in KR/JP/RU would be unacceptable under PEGI/ESRB and that’s the reason they’re censoring artist content?

I don’t have to speculate about why a decision is made. It’s AGS’ and the agreement with SG’s to make. It does not matter to me in the slightest what is available in other regions of the game. I’m not playing them. I’m not playing the game to have the same experience that someone else had. I’m playing the game because its fun. It’s really that simple. I don’t care if my game looks completely different than yours.

Then why are you engaging in the conversation if you don’t care :man_shrugging:

Go play the game, stop bothering me

I can’t control how you feel about me and what I say. I find engaging in conversations on these forums entertaining as well.

I am playing. I’m farming Yearning

I know all this, but literally no one cares about it lol i know you will keep saying that “its not about this specific change its about the bigger picture” etc, but yeah no one carer about Jederico and people already get used to Grey/Black/White SH (but yeah they should give us an option to change it to which ever color we prefer)

Imagine thinking we can’t play the game and “engage in conversations” at the same time kekw

Who said you can’t?

That’s also wrong tbh. People genuinely care about this, same as in beta. It just proved to be pointless to talk about it cuz AGS did not care that people cared and actively went hard against people talking about it in almost every case.

Most people won’t make new accounts after being banned for speaking out against the shitty things in the game, it’s only like 1-2 people at MOST. A lot of people care enough to voice their opinions once or twice but after it gets ignored they just move on because they realize it’s not worth the trouble.

I cared the first day, then i get used to it the second day and realize i didn’t need a white SH, thats what majority of the sane people do, they move on.
And yeah its impossible to talk with AGS they suck

Amen. Someone with some sense!

Man alot of ppl do.

Daily bumped, 100’s of likes.

One of the most viewed threads on the forums, and it’s only been up 2 months.

Same with censorship threads ngl. Maybe you don’t wanna see it, but a lot of ppl don’t like it.

Ppl just put up with it, but then you go to the subreddit as well, and ppl moaning about these changes have 100’s of likes. And IK it’s reddit. But those likes can be bombed into negative unlike here.

Alot of ppl don’t like it, and alot of ppl do care tbh so that’s just straight up wrong saying no one cares.

Even on vids about westernization of LA, from asmon to the smaller league ppl. Alot of ppl do not like these changes and care alot.

But it goes back to never having a voice in first place with AGS. They don’t care whether we do or don’t like these things, so it hopeless situation…

In last week or two alone since roadmap, many gaming articles have come out in response to the decision of AGS. So it’s not nobody cares, it’s AGS doesn’t listen…

Articles on censorship in last 2 weeks (Don’t even get me started on SH form changes + other westernization):

Amazon Censors the Artist in Lost Ark (this one has vid with editor/developer talking about it)

Its the same 4-5 people bumping and arguing, lol. Thats why making statements like the above is completely irrelevant.

Likes mean something too.

Subdriver, it’s literally you, Jaerin, Celin, somnus and ta1l on literally every anti censor/anti westernization thread.

I’ve not seen a single one of you guys’ post get as many as mine have, or these anti-western/censor posts.

More ppl definitely seem to be against all this stuff than for it. It’s fact.

It’s fact from the polls I did, from the stats on posts about it, from the videos made on it, from the articles that have come about it.

Most ppl do care, and they don’t like it.

I’m not saying you can’t like it either. I’m just saying, it’s wrong to say nobody cares, bcos alot of ppl. A hell of a fucking lot. Do.

By people like me having conversations in that thread. Its not a demonstration of support for the topic. You are just misleading people into thinking that controversy is a sign of support.

Of course not, we’re not on a bandwagon of backslappers that just go around validating each others ideas pretending like you’re representative of everyone in existance. That’s what it looks like when you’re in your own echochamber and don’t see it.

You listed 4 articles and not one of them is against anything, lol. Did you even read them? All they do is report the facts. Not one of them argues against or supports anything :sweat_smile: :rofl: :joy:

You only clicked on the first one XD

You know I can see who clicks what of my links lmfao.

Nope, read all of them. Try again.
