JAPANESE VERSION

I have not seen this being talked about here, so I thought I'd bring some light to the issue which I think is important. This year, evidence has been brought up to suggest that Sony PlayStation is enforcing their own new standards of censorship in games outside of the ESRB, pretty much only affecting titles coming from Japan. This comes just a few years after Sony Computer Entertainment changed to Sony Interactive Entertainment and moved their world headquarters from Tokyo to California.The first instance of this was seen early this year when the game, Omega Labyrinth Z, which was slated for release on PS4 and PS Vita, was cancelled by publisher PQube with reason being that they were doing it to comply with wishes of the platform holder. The game was approved for an M Rating on the ESRB and its translation was fully complete, so this was a last minute cancellation that Sony forced onto them.More instances started occurring last month, bringing the issue to light. Several visual novels including Nora to Oujo to Noraneko Heart andwere censored compared to uncensored versions on other platforms includingsystems.Nintendo, the company usually known for censoring games years ago is allowing content to be uncensored while the PlayStation version forces in these jarring rays of light that completely obscure the image. Even more shocking is, this is not a localization change. This is theof the game. Sony is forcing games for Japanese players to be censored before they even hit western shores.This is modern day cultural imperialism. You essentially have a table of Americans in a headquarters near San Francisco, deciding what the Japanese public can and can't watch. To make it even worse, Sony is forcing Japanese developers caught up in all of this to plead approval inwhen many devs don't know how to speak it.And it has just gotten worse. Upcoming modes have been removed from the new Senran Kagura , and Mary Skelter 2, a game that is already out, has been PATCHED after its release months ago to remove adult content, causing many bugs in the game.Another game, Nekopara Volume 1, a very popular Steam game that made its way to the Nintendo Switch way back in July was mysteriously delayed for the PS4. The reason is because they were so busy censoring it that the ESRB gave it anrating for the PlayStation version while the Nintendo Switch version got anrating.Yeah, we're really living in a time where the Nintendo version of a game has more content than the PlayStation versionAll this stuff is just within a few months, so its only inevitable that more will occur and I do think its a result of Sony's new headquarters being in America trying to exercise puritan values for some reason. And this only affects Japanese games, no western games featuring adult content have been affected so far. Its hypocritical, xenophobic and its completely wrong.
