"Oh, see, they didn't remove anything, it's not woke, I'll buy it!"
one patch later
"OOOOOH THEY GOT ME AGAIN!!!"
Once companies go woke they never come back. I understand wanting to pay for something that doesn't shit in your mouth for a change, but never believe their lies.
This is the lesson everyone needs to learn but have not learned yet, nor will they ever.
Yep. Gamers are as bad as women when it comes to FOMO. Even a lot of the "based" ones will talk shit about normies and then act just like them. It was entirely too predictable when there were tons of posts here about all of the degenerate shit in BG3 followed by posts about the game by people who still bought it.
Yeah the BG3 stuff still hurts... because I see so many people in general (not just in games channels, but in general media trailers, videos, politics, etc.,) talk about how "based" and "anti-woke" BG3 is while the game is filled to the brim with everything wokies love.
That and Hogwarts Legacy were basically blueprints for how companies will move forward with brainwashing people while still convincing them that they need to play the games lest they suffer the fear of missing out.
So it's not just that they're selling a Remastered $CurrentYear version with new ESG censorship changes - they're literally patching out content so when you get the latest update it's deleted from your game. Considering how close to the release this is, it's likely that the company intentionally left the posters in for a few months so they could do a bait and switch later.
That should really be illegal. Gamers suck for tolerating this shit for so long.
They claim its because they dont have the right to reuse those posters. Even if thats the case, it would literally take 15 minutes to pose and render a new poster.
The ridiculous lie they come up with.
15 minutes? You've got some serious quality control going on. The in-game models already exist.
already a mod to re-add here:

Modders doing the honest work corporations won't do as per usual.
Corporations are the ones actively censoring it. That's worse than doing nothing
True.
I guess I got lucky. I got the gog version and downloaded this three or four days before this patch hit. So I have a slightly more complete version. Sure it's a minor thing, but that's how it all starts isn't it?
You want to think that they're not ideologically driven, so you don't have to live on a knife edge about this kind of stuff, but this is always how it starts. Some minor tiny thing from a cut scene you can only see once, or some posters in a section of the game you'll spend maybe 3 minutes in, and you'd have to zoom in to see in any sort of clarity.
Don't play remasters. These days there is no such thing.
“Can’t show that in a Christian manga!”
Is this… is this “a bit”..?
It's an old 4chan meme: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/whoops-cant-show-that-in-a-christian-manga
I actually own this Serenity comic. It's not bad at all, really.
It is. I think you might be a youngin. Back in the late ‘80s and through out the ‘90s, loads of people tried to control pop culture and anything popular by using Christianity and “Think of the children!” excuses. Now, it’s been switched to DEI, “modern audiences”, and “That’s not how a real woman looks!”
I remember those people. The biggest ones were Hillary Clinton, Tipper Gore, and Joe Lieberman. Oh wait.
The "history" you are talking about is a complete fabrication. It has always been the left trying to control culture, so stop carrying their water for them. The fundies then were just as fringe as they are now. In 30 years, people like you will say it was the right behind this bait and switch because of Matt Walsh.
Glad you phrased it that way. Some people may not have recognized the nuance here, but there's a class of henpeckers in society that will use whatever vector of control available to put the screws on other people, ranging from exploiting ideological sensibilities, to outright cloaking themselves as part of those movements. They shift from one side to the other with ease when the tides of power change.
Oh no, I know all of that (Footloose was my school musical, after all!) - I just wondered why, in this instance, the people censoring the game had used that as their argument, given they are clearly doing this for the latter reasons you describe there…
Unless it was “niche gamer” that put those posters in that image..?
But nah, I think I was alive for the end of the “Satanic Panic” shit, even if I don’t remember it myself, lol…
I distinctly remember the cancelling of the Dixie Chicks, at the very least!
It was niche gamer cracking a joke. “Christian insert thing here” has been a meme for a while.
Tell me you've never been on 4chan...
...but yeah, that totally started on 4chan.
It's like the AI community bitching about censorship and blaming puritanical americans for it.
Yeah the puritanical employees and management that dominates silicon valley and tech startups. LOL.
Can’t wait until they do a Pokémon Go styled patch! It’ll be… fun…
