So(y)ny censorship - Why JRPG devs don't switch to PC?

[Cryomancer]

On 90s, a lot of WRPG's got massively censored when they was ported to Nintendo "family friendly' consoles. Ultima 7 which is a legendary game on PC, is a trash on snes. Now Soyny with her double standards is ruining JRPG's too. They talk about "global standards" but is in fact California/Commiefornia progressive standards. Which are :

-> Underage gay sex scenes on western games = ok
-> Anime boobs = Burn, if there are any white male who likes it, it needs to be censored!!!

The last of US 2 was banned on middle east but I believe that waifu games aren't. Who decides the commiefornia sjw standards "global standards"? I get that some of then has strict contractual obligation to soyny and that is their platform and they can do wathever they want(just like we can criticize it and encourage people to not buy pro censorship products), but why they don't release their games on PC and stop with P$4/P$5?

Also very little programming experience when it comes to PC platforms.

They are slowly Switching. But not all of them to PC. Most Japanese devs are moving to the Switch. Nintendo Switch versions are not being censored. But there are rumour that Sony is going to start forcing devs to censor games on all platforms due to "parity"

 

[Nifft Batuff]

Censorship is increasing everywhere.

Makes sense. But is ironic how this retarded lefitist ideas, including censoring fan service needs to be imposed into everyone and if people has any option, people avoid it like a plague.

Note that what assured the success of P$ was weeabos.

If they know how to use UE, then they can easily port to PC. If they are too used to $oyny proprietary engines and HW, then they are screwed up

hats off to japanese in their failed fight against declining population where they crank up Horny every time american Puritans crank up Neo Victorianism. specially that anime about fantasy brothel, it's hilarious.

Don't the Japanese still censor their porn? Not exactly fighting Puritanism there...

Every developed country is experiencing a population decline. Porn aways existed and yes, this retarded censorship policies are awful. Doesn't matter if enforced by the government or a company.

 

[Latro]

Porn doesn’t encourage actual sex, not sure why people are surprised. I don’t see the extensive Japanese fetish industry as an attempt to get everyone to have kids; it’s more symptomatic of everyone staying home and getting off until death, there’s a huge industry for shut in c00mers.

 

[Gastrick]

The biggest issue that doesn't require government power is to reverse declining birthrates, and the best way to do that is changing the family size ideal to 3 children per couple. Money rewards don't actually work, and they had no trouble getting the birth rate down without them. The major other way would be making a very traditional religion more prominent as they managed to make Israel have an inceasing population rate. It's best to not use that unless your country is South Korea or Taiwan with a 1.1 birth rate since that would be a major increachment on lives. The thing to watch out for though is to make sure it isn't done in a dysgenic way although comparing first world native IQ to the third world, it should be a net IQ gain regardless.
Just talk doesn't matter though as changing anything requires a lot of time and effort as I'll go into further sometime in a faster board.

If you are talking strictly JRPG, we already have FF and Draque on PC, the only missing big name now is SMT/Persona - but Atlus will yield, eventually, and we will have SMT3 on Steam and it will be glorious MWHAHAHAHA.
If you are talking waifu games, I wonder why too. I sometimes wonder if there are some weird brand loyalty at play among fandoms and/or at corporates levels, and people just need time to switch. Hopefully Sony screwing over plenty of Japanese editors during and after the communilifornian pivot will help them realize they need to jump ship or die.

/still mourning about Senran Kagura 7, that game was potentially too perfect for console gamers anyway.

 

[Nostaljaded]

Feels odd that Nintendo having less censorship/more welcoming for lewd games.

It's an old law that persisted into the digital age due to strong top-down enforcement. Government censorship for political purposes dates back to the shogunates, if not earlier. Not much to do with how the average Japanese person views sex culturally though.

 

[Baron Dupek]

Because they don't like PCs for its rampant piracy.
And it's not exclusive to them, most (all? some just don't say it out loud) western and eastern publishers have same opinion. Because fear of imaginative money loss is too strong...

 

[Ash]

If I am not mistaken, the PC market is somewhat smaller in Japan. They got Sony and Nintendo. They won't switch to prioritizing PC given the business opportunities (e.g contracts with Sony and Nintendo), the convenience of those two companies being local, and most importantly the number of PC gamers being somewhat smaller. Maybe I'm just thinking archaic though; maybe there's a lot more Jap PC gamers these days.

I wish they would though. I'm not interested in getting a PS5/Switch or any other console. Consoles no longer have the value they once did - portability, simple plug and play experience, lots of exclusives, actual good games, minimal DRM, focus on local multiplayer...now they're just shit-tier PCs. And expect you to cough up extra fees to play online too. Fuck right off.

Sony moved their Gaystation HQ to Commiefornia and let the Americucks run the show now. Will be interesting to see if they let them drag all their game franchises into the ground before they intervene.

 

[Cryomancer]

WoW, blizzard south, soyny censorship... Is Commiefornia the greatest decline region?

 

[Clockwork Knight]

but why they don't release their games on PC and stop with P$4/P$5?

Becaus it's P$4/P$5. The average consumer doesn't care about censorship even if they are aware of it so it's not worth antagonizing a giant like sony. Best to wait until the companies realize they don't need to be paying a department of Californians to veto games for them, which might not happen any time soon since like any worthless employee worth their salt they're probably experts at making themselves seem vital to the company.

Also japs are more stubborn than mules and you will have to pry their consoles from their cold dead hands

 

[Cryomancer]

The average consumer doesn't care about censorship

I STRONGLY disagree. On 90s, most WRPG devs abandoned nintendo due her retarded family friendly policies. Taking out anime boobs on waifu games is like taking out guns in Children's Online Daycare. And when CoD was infested with ""futuristic""" toy guns, BF finally surpassed CoD. Fairy Tail after the day one censorship path, had a player review bomb a lot of players asked for refund.

I consider those to be vocal dedicated players who are willing to take a stand, and if they're lucky they make a difference. Average player wants to play the game and will put up with the bikinis and bloomers on his waifus if that's what it takes to see Ezra taking off her socks after a day wearing knight armor in 3D.

If I really wanna play a game but the game is censored, I honestly would sail the seven seas. Or download uncensored paths Never happened but I would do that.

But yes, people tend to talk a lot and not vote with their wallets. The cod community demanded boots on the grounds for years and activision did nothing. When a lot of then stopped purchasing cod and migrated to BF1, including cod clans like FaZe, then we had change and cod ww2 happened. Vastly inferior to cod WaW but still... Soyny will only change if every weeabo stop purchasing P$5 and soyny products. Cry on twitter that Atelier Ryza and FT are censored but keep purchasing soyny products will not change anything.

 

[Nostaljaded]

Thanks, I'm aware PS HQ has been relocated to US in 2016, which (probably) contributes to the ongoing heavier censorship as compared to their past.

Just waiting for the time to be able to post 'Feels odd that only Nintendo among the consoles is releasing adult games.'

 

[Gastrick]

Best to wait

Waiting never does anything, the only reason this would ever happen is from SJWs pressuring them for over 5 years. If you do nothing then nothing will ever happen. Stuff like the fairy tail response is something that would actually send a message. Even if it ends up not doing anything, it would make them more hesitant in the future. You also can do a lot more as well with a focused minority than any majority.
For this, I'm indifferent, and don't know any censored games I would actually want to play. Steam and series like Rance have more than enough content.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Bad enough that a lot of games don't even get an english translation.
