Of course, those same critics are the sort of people who say games like Deponia and Leisure Suit Larry should not exist, and any new game announcement is reason for them to remind the developers they rated the last game poorly and they still "haven't learned lessons from it". Games have to earn the critic's seal of approval to earn the right to be called art and survive a translation unscathed. I'm sure in an alternate universe where there's someone talking down people upset by those changes and convincing them why they should not care, they'd say that content was shameless pandering to fujoshis who want to see that sort of stuff (why not alternate universe, now we have some people ubset by yuri manga because of the potential for the male gaze to enjoy it, and we can't have unintended happy audiences like that can we), or it causes gender disphoria or some shit to unsuspecting children (think of them you monster) AND that's enough for it to be disappeared. The justification was that it was a kiddie game and didn't quite earn that "art" label, and the same social climate excuse that warranted the full body camisole that chick wears in the NoA version of Tokyo Mirage Sessions instead of a human wedding dress. Same goes for the lesbian mode in Harvest Moon Cute. Even if that means some things that you personally find unacceptable get released.īack when the shoe was on the other foot, games like Front Mission 2 were, because of homosexual themes, not only rejected from US release but all references to it scrubbed from the following game that did see release. Editing the creators cripples creative integrity, regardless of personal opinion of the Merit of said edits.ĭo you want Fox News editing and filtering the news you get? Do you want all stories passed by the Catholic church for approval? No? Then perhaps you begin to understand why we do not want corporations deciding what is acceptable. That you, personally, will only buy War and Peace if it's a hundred pages means absolutely nothing. We don't want accountants deciding that Terry gilliam's next film needs to be 30 minutes shorter, or War and Peace needs to be edited it down to a hundred pages. Who cares? That does not mean we want censors or corporations deciding to edit what the audience gets. A movie might be better with a different ending. A book might be better without the Final Chapter. You're not only misapplying holier-than-thou, but you're fundamentally missing the point.
