I don't have a problem, of course, with a developer releasing an "all-ages" version of their game. What I do have a problem with is a developer downplaying censorship and being this dismissive of fans concerned about it.
They could, like many other companies do, release an all-ages version on Steam and an uncensored English version on another platform. If this isn't feasible, they could at least say they don't agree with the censorship. Instead we get this.
That article just links to the same statement I linked in this post.
It was Steam.
As I said above, though, Steam's censorship policy doesn't mean the uncensored game can't be released through other platforms. They are not without options if they were actually against censorship.
Nor does it force the developer to downplay censorship or admonish those who would be unwilling to accept a censored product as only wanting the "surface-level cute factor."

Not putting it on Steam kills sales.
I don't mean to be harsh, but it comes across as if you haven't read the comments you're replying to at all.
Not once have I suggested they don't put it on Steam.
