No matter our differences, we can all agree that belligerent midwit atheists are the most insufferable of all cunts.

Sometimes I think people fail to make a distinction between "compliance under protest" and "enthusiastic compliance"
"Compliance under protest" was when the studios made a change because the choice was either to do that or not get their game shipped to that country. So they did green blood, or the Nazis were robots or whatever. They'd change a texture, or the color of a texture to comply, but it's done as an afterthought.
"Enthusiastic compliance" is when you're a true believer who complies with both the letter and spirit of whatever law you're following. And you're usually going way above and beyond what the regulators would demand of you. The game is designed from the ground up to comply, because they want it to comply but maybe they have to change one thing at the end to make a regulator whose already happy with your game actually be able to check the final box.
In the 90s we had "compliance under protest". Today we have "enthusiastic compliance".
