“I think focusing on fan service and making it the main aspect [of games and anime] is really starting to change. Not just myself, but the dev team are really feeling that. Compared to the first game, we’re taking a different approach in terms of showing how appealing these characters are without having to rely on fan service. For Blue Reflection and other titles I’ve worked on, I’m seeing a change in how things are being perceived and the attitudes towards them. If you asked me, ‘Well, you’ve drawn a lot of sexy illustrations’ I would have to say that it isn’t because I like or dislike them, it’s that I’m creating things that fans and consumers enjoy looking at.”
Very few, if any, here will care about a niche game like Blue Reflection but it's the attitude shift that we've seen slowly but surely creep into gaming.
Again, idiots won't call this censorship because the developers decided to avoid the hassle altogether because to them, censorship is only changing a delivered product.

That's exactly the problem.
