There's a lot of posters on /v/ that don't know what's causing censorship of videogames, particularly Japanese ones.To be specified, why can't japanese games DO THIS anymore?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nBbgSGs2zgThe answer is Sony. Sony recently moved their headquarters to America, and part of the move, they made a LEGAL REQUIREMENT for all PLAYSTATION VIDEOGAMES MUST BE APPROVED BY CALIFORNIA.California..the home of liberals..was made the most important HQ in videogames. So all the liberals in California who enforce Gender Norms and don't want Sexualization of Females must approve Japanese games.But it's actually even worse than that. JAPANESE GAMES TARGETING JAPAN CANNOT RELEASE if California objects.That's right. All PlayStation Games must be approved by America for Release in Japan. What the fuck?That's how we got here. Japan literally can't appeal to the Japanese. They MUST target americans, californians in particular.What can we do to fight this?
>>735175809Nice try but Nintendo and Valve are also on this so it's someone way more important that Sony. They just paved the way, a small footnote on what's going on atm.
Iran nuking California would solve a lot of the worlds problems.
>playing games made after 2006you're a tranny
>>735175889FPBP, it's the payment processors that are doing a lot of the fucking now. It's not some Sony specific issue when the Bravely Default Remaster is censored in the west and that's not even on Playstation.
>>735175967>it's the payment processorsdlsite found a way around this with the "Minna no Ginkou" digital bank. they should open this bank up for america, but maybe that would be too globalist...
>>735175809Did you fall in a time machine?This was known since 2018.>>735176094They can't, for the same reason why the JCB is not available in the west.The moment you try to do that, you have to comply with (((western rules))).
>>735175809Nintendo is the same, they said in some interview about Fire Emblem that due to differences with the Treehouse team, they are now sending Treehouse people over to Japan to supervise game development directly so they can catch more """problematic""" content at the source and don't have to rely on """localization""" to change things after it's already been made.
>>735175809It's jews, same as always.
>>735175809Yeah...this happened 10 years ago. In those 10 years, I haven't come up with a solution so let me know.
>>735176764>In those 10 years, I haven't come up with a solutiona return to region locking is the only way. of course there should be ways around region locking "but why have region locking in the first place" for this exact problem. Japanese games should be able to target the Japanese audience ONLY if they want that. Americans who want that version of the game would have to get a vpn or something, just like how we did it in the days of the Xbox 360/PS3
>>735175809We should give california back to mexico.
>>735177047You should kill yourself
>>735175895California runs CERO? That's news to me, Juan.
>>735175809
>>735177047migger financial advice lmao>I love shitcoins and trump phones and also we should give Mexico one of the largest economies in the world that pays for our red state trailer trash welfarelmao
>>735175889Valve sells literal porn including Taimanin Asagi uncensoredcope
I have the solution, but I'll be on a watchlist if I post it here.
>>735175809VideoGames2 words, chingchong
>>735177106a lot of it on the Japanese side is CERO. 2013 on has each year becoming more and more strict. Pantyshots are pretty much a no go unless you want a bump up in rating, which is still a big deal there like it used to be here with AO and Wal-Mart/Target not carrying games
Shut the fuck up Caramel
>>735177187they also censor it in every country that demands it and they don't even try to fight itvalve is totally cucked, you just don't know it yet
>>735177108Bullet Girls Phantasia (PS4) is the most uncensored japanese videogame ever released. It never released in America, because it didn't have to get approved for release in America.Senran Kagura games are also in this list. They found a way around it with Senran Kagura x Hyperdimension Neptunia but i doubt Senran Kagura 7even will release unless they change platforms to PC.and for the 3rd game, i'll just remind you of the Omega Layrinth W controversey.
>>735175809ConsolesYou realize that if the games were released on something like GOG, people could just take the english text and put it into the JP game files to bypass the local censorship. But nope, people would rather have Steam games and console games where this is difficult to impossible.The solution is just to support more GOG releases, where you have access to the files and can modify or edit them freely. I'd recommend someplace else, but every other side (outside itch) seems to insist on logging into a service to ensure you haven't done any unapproved modification.
>>735176094EU is also working on a payment processor of their own. Once the amerimutts are left alone with their Visa/MC overlords we might see less censorship, especially in places like EU.
>>735177406Are you just the Pauline asshole on a new trip?
>>735178587>Are you just the Pauline assholewhati'm not a nintendo fan, no idea who you're talking about.
>>735175809>Sony recently moved their headquarters to AmericaThis is some stale pasta, sasuga tripfaggot
>>735178435Funny of you to think EU won't also ban all transactions going to Japanese porn games
>>735179058>This is some stale pastano shit. i'm reminding /v/ of what got us into this mess. the sony move predates the payment processor bs.modern /v/ fans might not have been 4chan members when this happened, so that's what this thread is for
>>735177006region locking won't do shit. doax3 was region locked and it still got shit from western journoscum.
>>735175809weebshit should be banned in the west as a matter of course
>>735179330well they can fuck off it's Japan.What's your stance on the Rapelay controversey?
>>735177187>including Taimanin Asagi uncensoredYou actually need a (free) patch from the johren store.
>>735175809Because their new government people IMMEDIATELY sold out to jews and they are in the process of getting browned too. It's not just /pol/ shit, it's real. It directly correlates with vidya getting overly censored now, especially the ones that wanna sell in western markets.
>>735175809Nothing new there. Japan lost any true autonomy 80 years ago.
>>735179406>What's your stance on the Rapelay controversey?the what now
>>735177293Just make your own central bank like Ir...oh wait.
>>735180821Japan released a game ONLY IN JAPAN called RapelayIt was a game featuring rape. Americans screeched at Japan and demanded they pull the game from markets.Nobody in Japan was screaming for it's removal, but they went ahead and removed the game from sale.It's one of a few key cases where Americans interrupted the Japanese market, which is traditionally a walled garden.
>>735175809killing and gore is 100% ok but don't you dare let those kids see any BOOBA
>>735179123The only european country as puritanical as america is britain, and they're not in the union anymore.
>>735175809Yeah, because japan isn't a profitable or large market anymore. They all just fucked off to mobile games.
>>735177169>we can't excise progressive cancer because... they give us le moneynot my fucking problem.
>>735175809Nuke commiefornia
>>735177401>censor it in every country that demands itSaid country's government is full of cucks, simple as
>>735181164Did you forget about Germany and Sweden?
>>735182513No
>>735182513those aren't puritanical at all, they just have draconian child protection laws
>>735175809>The answer is SonySo Sony is the reason why Nintendo has a bunch of liberal culture warriors in their localization team in Japan educating their Japanese developers on how to remove "problematic" elements from their games?
>>735182895Faggots banned senran kagura
