People worried about their games being censored on PlayStation should just not release their games on Sony platforms anymore.

As a lover of gaming, especially of games (including visual novels) that are from Japan, I wanted to discuss a not-so-new term but one that is becoming increasingly used within the games industry:
Culturalization.


It's well worth watching this video on the subject.

Used in the games industry as a term for "the science of inspecting dialogue, imagery – even actions, for things that may cause offence to particular markets or cultures".


That is literally the definition of censorship as defined by the ACLU: "The suppression of words, images, or ideas that are 'offensive.' "
