OH SHIT, OH SHITAre they going to reverse their decision?Everyone saying they are going to leave the game made the devs change their minds?What say you /v/?https://x.com/BROWNDUST2_EN/status/2010584868166553619
Idk
>>730640861They're going to double down.Can't make money if the credit card companies reject you, and they know gacha troons will gulp down every drop of slop, no matter how neutered it is.You get what you deserve, freaks.
>build up reputation and fanbase because your game skirts the line on what's acceptable to show off and do>try to pedal back>fans get madWOOOOOOOOOOOOW
60% chance they say they will work on a uncensored patch/workaround40% chance they are just even more transparent on why they are censoring to help people further understand and nothing changes
>brown dust
yep yep enfield won!
>>730640861They should put it on Steam censored but uncensored on EGS and mobile.
>>730640861All they have to do is censor it then make up a 'fan'uncensor off-site patch.This shit is easy, I dont see why some people continue to poke a line when there are unironic million dollar porn games on steam where shit is literally broken without the offsite patch.
normalfag retards will fall for it but their goodwill is entirely, permanently gone, like it should be for every single company who ever even hints at censorship. there's no reason to assume they won't design every single piece of future content by the standards they laid out in that update post about 'abusive' depictions etc.it's over, move on.
>>730641297Steam has already rejected it. There is no appeal no matter what changes they make.
>>730640861Decent chance of implementing a patch approach, as doing yet another emergency stream just announcing they are doubling down again seems like it would just be throwing fuel on the fire at this point, but if there were external issues they would still be present with the main game a patch would make sense.
>>730641932Can somebody explain the steam policy to me? Why this game with just erotica and no real sekusu (as far as I know) is being denied from Steam, yet we have Furry Hitler & Subverse and all the usual suspects fully available? We even have the Winter Memories ffs.
>>730642146>steam policyit's just mary
I could see them making just some minor concessions and still doubling down, but with them describing it as "revised plans" at minimum something almost surely changed. That said, a patch seems to be the simplest solution. Though if so the question is how future content development is handled and to what standard.
>>730641932This isn't true at all and I don't know why you inbred retarded streetshitting shitskins keep parroting this lie.
>>730642242it's funny
what's gonna happen:>hastily throw out a patch to appease everyone>new content however will come out the box incredibly tame and inoffensive, its not censored if it was made this way :))))
>>730642146the game is legally considered child pornography in south korea, the entire EU, UK, canada, australia, so steam cant put it on the platform without repurcussions from those nations and even if they did, mastercard and visa would eventually cut off steam for that
>>730642479no its not retard lol.
>>730642479Woooah.I might try it then, thanks.
>>730640861Literally free marketting lol>Dev say stupid shit>Fanbois goes grrrrr arf arf arf arf>Dev very sorry and thank the fanbois for the power of Corporate Manipulation whatever>WWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO GOTY ALL YEARS WE WIN GOOKOVERLORD LOVE US
>>730642146The general rules for Steam review are1.) The only content that gets reviewed is what is submitted to Steam to be reviewed. If it is in a patch Steam isn't hosting, you can do whatever. This puts titles opting to do a patch with all questionable content removed (see Nukitashi with its 20 minute Steam build and 50 hour patch) in better shape then non-porn titles that don't use such an approach to get onto Steam.2.) The only content that actually gets you banned is a subjective view that there is suggestive content involving what Valve considers to be minors, (and as said content needs to be in the build submitted to Steam to get a ban). So stuff like Sex with Hitler was never getting banned, as it doesn't violate Valve's policy, and the censored for Steam versions of Rance will likely also be fine. 3.) Aside from the titles that were directly flagged by payment processors last Summer and retroactively removed, Valve's review policies do not seem to incorporate any payment processor guidelines. Sleepless came out months after the Summer purge with this content description of the content included on Steam. One addendum is titles with an 18+ label on Steam are banned from China (and Germany) which is also quite relevant to companies releasing on Steam if they were expecting Chinese sales.
>>730640861Is the 'DEV LISTENED' coming? Is it even possible with all the censorship anything?
they're not reversing it unless they want to lose yurop
>>730640861Qrd?
>>730642672>Game went from a 4.8 to a 3.7 in a dayYou niggers are dumb. Do you understand how schizo gacha players get? If they don't backpedal IMMEDIATELY, and fill their game with the RAUNCHIEST FUCKING SHIT in every subsequent update, they are going to die. EoS in six months to a year.
>>730640861wow I’m actually impressed they admitted they fucked up and read the feedback. a lot of games do this but they never admit they were reading the feedback and are just like “oops we misspoke we never intended to do any of that. we don’t know how that got posted haha”
>>730640861
>>730640861why did they name their game Fart Cloud 2 and fill it with content for pedophiles?
>>730642683Thanks.
>>730641907>their goodwill is entirely, permanently gone, like it should be for every single company who ever even hints at censorshipnobody does this, see stellar blade and all mihoyoslops
>>730640861Just do it Snowbreak way and make uncensoring easy file edit
>>730642479>steam cant put it on the platform without repurcussions from those nationsSteam can block certain games for certain countries. This is extremely gay and lame excuse you made up in your head to defend billionaire faggot.
>>730642804>>730642808>>Game went from a 4.8 to a 3.7 in a dayThere’s nothing wrong with it. They’re using a very typical K-pop idol–style scandal marketing strategy. Numbers aren’t important; what matters is that a lot of people will hear about this censorship woke war drama. And when the devs say they’re sorry and that they’ll fight against censorship, those tourist fans will praise them as The saviors of video games
>>730642813Nice and vague.
>>730642808>A bunch of people asked for refunds through Google playstore>Some even went as far as filing chargebacks through their banks. What's impressive is that they actually stuck to their guns and followed through with it.
>>730642813Fucking this, Westerner are so easy to manipulated lol. Typical console warrior behavior
>>730642146>Apply to Steam>Game gets reviewed by a staffer at Valve's office that chooses to review your game (they don't have a team for this, they just pick shit willy nilly as they feel it)>Staffer hates that your game exists and rejects it>Steam's publicly-visible policy states that under no circumstance can you resubmit a rejected game nor will they refund the fee you paid to have it examined, making it physically impossible for them to release on Steam after being rejected>Instead, they received a credit to waive the fee for the next game they try to submitThat's the full deal.>>730642479I wish.
>>730642945That's only if they back down from everything. What's more likely to happen is they'll back down on tiny things, and then allow others to get censored. They'll consider this a "compromise," and that they "listened" to fans.
>>730642945hard to say. never underestimate how stupid someone is
>>730640861they should copy snowbreak and make censored version for everyone but if you changed value in files, you get uncensored version.
>>730643001A patch, but pre-censoring future content would be easy to do as well.
>>730640861nope. trust has been breached in a massive way. This isn't something they were forced to to, they chose to do it. Now no matter what they do, all the players will know censoring the game to get it on more platforms is their ultimate goal.
>>730643096Yep. That's another thing that would make this tactic >>730642813 bad. It sows the seeds of doubt in your audience. People combing over every update, trying to see if it's less lewd compared to previous content.
>>730643017If you’re Asian, you’ll be familiar with this kind of scandal marketing. I don’t know about Westerners, though.Example of this is a Vietnamese low tier idol got her sex tape and sex service was leaked on Ilbe (korea 4chan), and it spread from Ilbe to Douyin and other underground Chinese forums. Her popularity exploded, and she became very successful in Korea and especially in China, they even invited her to appear on Chinese New Year TV programs
>>730642804The game was probably already on the verge of EoS and the Steam release was their final gambit, which ofc failed terribly.
>>730640861Don't care, still playing Uma Musumay.
>>730640861It would be a serious misreading of their user base if they believe they just need to explain the choice to censor content better in the Stream, few existing players would be happy to have the game remove/censor content regardless of the calculations behind such a move, and if they are planning on going through with the changes regardless, no amount of explanation would make the user base go along with it.
Horizon walker literally lets you suck the exposed nipples of your gacha girls and fuck them and Brown Shart 2 is censoring spanking lmao.
>black souls 1&2 are on steam just fine>Brown dust wont do the same thing and just add a censored vs uncensored versionSAD
>>730643602Magical Girl Konoha is on steam lmao
>>730641907They even said they dont forsee any changes in the future, as they have externally enforced rules to follow before even releasing anything. They somehow thought telling players 'we're pre-censoring literally everything forever now' was a point in their favor.
>>730640861>mid game with mediocre revenue>successfully pivoted to goonslop>does a 180 to coomers in hopes of getting more normies who will never play their game anyways>surprised that fanbase rioted and now will prostrate themselves on streamI don't play these slops since the girls are often shit-tier with too much (you) pandering, but this is just massively retarded no? Why do they keep trying to play both sides?
>>730642996>Steam's publicly-visible policy states that under no circumstance can you resubmit a rejected game nor will they refund the fee you paid to have it examined, making it physically impossible for them to release on Steam after being rejectedthis only applies to game that are rejected for sexualising minors.
>>730643643Who do I give Konoha's virginity to?
>>730640861>flew too close to the sunI mean they've been censoring for a while now already since they backpeddled on NTR content after Schera x Goblins and also they removed ages from the character bios after that scene where you could see Juti's bald pussy for a whole 1 frame.
>>730643643Wait what the fuck is this shit kek
>>730642945nah, them giving us 100 tickets and 16k gems is a BIG deal. Even in their most generous events, they dont give away that amount all at once.They actually fucked up, and the best part is, its mostly the lolicons bitching about it.
>>730643683Literally the only thing they can possibly do to not hit EoS in under 12 months is to make the following updates the gooniest, horniest fucking shit humanly possible. We're talking Raymond levels of response towards backlash.
>>730643810is fucking brown asian loli's the ultimate dream? a goal so rare and impossible, even the legendary Epstein and trump didnt achieve it?
>>730643602Taimanin recently had to censor ton of crap and remove some outfits from sale due google bs, if you bought before then it appear as censored version.Staff just announced galaxy store version not much later. Albeit all versions including steam use censored art for menu buttons.
>>730643602They don't want to be labeled as a 'porn game' by Steam system. It really is that simple.
>>730641907This.
>>730643793lmao. This is in steam for real or do you have to download an uncensor patch? That's crazy.
>>730640861why can't these dumb gooks just made a patch/toggle?? fuck's sake even horizon walker got through steam
I'm convinced the people who review submissions for Steam are also jannies here. The same mentality and personal preference and biases ruling decisions rather than a standard guideline.
The Johns are honestly retarded which is a big managerial problem for them.>we launched this game as a 'classic jrpg story'>but we're gonna pivot to becoming a soft porn game>we're rewriting the old Story Packs and the new Main Story Packs will be self-insert Master (You)>now we're gonna piss off the self-inserts...the Johns are FUCKING MORONS who should've launched a new game instead of this Dr. Frankenstein shit
>>730644119It has all content that a reviewer at Valve could take issue with in a patch because it wasn't published by morons.
They go live and commit seppuku in 90 minutes.
>>730640861>brapdust kslop
>>730645574They're going to announce that theres just some things they cant go against because they fucked up having the age listing and then doing the lewd shit.Its gonna be excuses and concessions.blahblah going forward they wont make the same mistake and promise more, maybe show a concept of a super lewd Z cup girl to hopefully keep people coming back.
>>730642242It's not the case for everyone but there have in fact been situations where a game is rejected once and banned for life with zero possibility of appeal and I'm not even talking about some loli rape simulator games(even though there are a few of those on steam including one which was approved within the past few months jesus fuck they really don't have any consistency.)
>>730645696If it's not a full reversal and double down of lewd shit, it's EoS. This was literal suicide. Dead game walking.
>>730645738Is Snowbreak still going?Because something similar happened to them.
