They are probably just using weasel words and definitions to dance around using denotations instead of connotations. That's how these things always go.
If that's (somehow) actually the case, then just allow it as an alternative costume to assuage people's complaints, people have already seen it and it looks literally just like a censored version that we have seen so many times in so many other games.
As much as I love seeing these people fall the games industry must really be on a knife edge if they're backpedalling this hard. It will be very interesting to see if any other western companies follow suit because they've had no problem openly telling gamers to fuck off and make fun of them on their own official pages so far.
Fun fact, I did some autism on the finances of companies like Ubisoft and EA. I know most people will likely know this but there's quite a ridiculous amount of evidence showing venture capital firms like Blackrock have invested in them which is likely what's been keeping them popped up for so long. At the end of the day though, these guys are out to make money and if they can't hit any targets in terms of sales especially they're going to get the axe. I have to wonder as well with ESG and DEI money there are in fact financial targets to hit among other things not just hiring practices so that's why they're starting to panic hard about even normies getting bored with their shit. This is all just the stuff that they'll openly report too.
There's only so much that scamming whales through their live service nonsense and using bot players to bump up numbers on their F2P games can do, losing the bulk of their playerbase is going to hit hard.
Companies show value from stock prices and assets (like IPs), NOT revenue. The stock market is a suicide cult at this point. Companies use all their assets to back loans and then use that cash to buyback stock and buy more IPs, which gives them more assets they can use to back even more loans. It just wrings every last drop of value out of the system before it all collapses.
Obviously this should be illegal and probably is but everyone is too dependant on the system to do anything about it. Nothing will fail until everyone fails.
This is why I'm being a total prepper even when it comes to my land use among other things. I'm almost tempted generally just to buy a field in the middle of nowhere purely because it will drastically increase my odds of survival in a full depression. I think that's something anyone serious about survival in the next 10 - 20 years should consider especially if the elites kick off WW3.
lol I mean yes but at the same time I have been amazed at the elites' ability to keep this crap going in spite of everything and the ability of normies to stay in denial.
We currently have very good bread despite the best efforts of some to include more dead bugs in it, and while the circuses suck, they're at least omnipresent.
The last century has shown that a mercurial/ cosmopolitan people, a people of merchants or money class, regardless of heritage, cannot be in charge of anything and need to be kept a close eye on by someone truly in charge.
Also, they need to be beaten on a frequent basis. Like today, today is Tuesday. Time for a beating.
On that note, if you haven't take a look at the mess the Escape from Tarkov devs got themselves into over the last couple days. They're either stupid or broke or (likely) both.
I simply don't understand how it's possible to piss away that much money but then again aside from maybe a few nice things for myself for fun I don't think I'd be able to piss away that amount of money in the first place. You bring up Escape from Tarkov and yes that's another example, those guys sold a lot of units over time and I mean a lot yet every time these devs shoot themselves in the foot the second they get successful.
People were mentioning Notch as the correct way to handle wealth and yeah it makes you think considering how he's doing absolutely fine and he could probably re-enter the market any time he likes if he really wanted to.
Seems pretty odd behavior. You gotta figure Sony slapped this shit on them at the last second and threatened to pull certification, while also forcing them to keep quiet about it.

I wonder if Shift Up can release the PC version ahead of schedule because of that. I highly doubt that was part of their agreement.

The community note appears to be gone now.
it's back at needing ratings to appear, not fully public yeah

They pretty much said it was always intended to be that way and the pre-patched outfits were a beta model. Kinda like Capcom did with SFV Juri
it's a useful skill, to be able to recognize when bullshit is raining down on you

We were always at war with Eurasia.
I am still mad about what they did to my girl.

We are living in a post-profit world.

5-10 years

Our economy is tied up in a thousand Enrons, it's insane.

All the more reason to release on PC.
