It looks like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will be censored:

Looks like more people are getting in on the lootbox discussion, in the US, Federal Trade Commission this time:

Her censored costume from Smash was added to Xenoblade Chronicles 2. It is optional, like it should have been in Smash.

I'm still flabbergasted that Hikari/Mythra is censored in Smash. What about characters like Bayonetta, who are literally sex in woman form? A few characters were toned down more, including Bayonetta.

Fate Grand/Order got censored more in China, here are some examples:

I wouldn't be surprised if the American version gets or has been censored too.

Sony responded about their abhorrent new policy, which has affected gaming tremendously:
https://ekgaming.com/2018/12/03/sony-speaks-about-global-censorship-on-ps4/


“ Regarding the regulation of the depiction of content, it’s simply a matter of matching global standards.
As for the freedom of expression… we have to think about what might be unpleasant for children and shield them from those things while also thinking and assessing ways to find a balance [for that expression]. ”

If I see one more utterance of "think of the children", I'm going to fucking puke. It's a tired old horse beaten long to death. At this point people have ground down the skeleton too. There is nothing left to beat.

Also, a side note, Epic Games looks to be creating a new platform similar to Steam:

Another thing I detest when people defend censorship is the excuses they give for it.

Or when censorship decisions are reversed and "gamers" (what even are gamers in today's context?) are called out, saying that companies are pandering to them.

In other news:

Bethesda leaks their own customers personal data, so that's going to be costly for them, I would assume.

Nintendo updates their "Nintendo Game Content Guidelines for Online Video & Image Sharing Platforms".

New Tales Of was announced, I saw. It looks like another trashy Gacha mobile game. I will never see the appeal of them, ever.

I don't expect it to get a Western localisation, as I think the previous Tales Of mobile games in the West have been shut down already?

I don't own a mobile phone nor can I be bothered to even check for clarity.
