Censoring games years after consumer purchased it

So recently there is a controversy over the game "ready or not" censoring the game content years after the game was released, this is kinda like Skullgirls doing the same years ago.

I feel like Lord Gaben should force publishers on Steam to refund consumers over such acts, and the publisher should be banned on Steam if they refuse

This might become a new industry trend where mostly American devs and publishers lure players in with attractive looking characters and nudity in their games then nerf the physical attractiveness while changing the adult scenes to only be the rainbow version

Basically they censored the nudity and gore

Skullgirls did more then censor, they straight up scammed people who backed kickstarter goals like russian announcer or the artbook. How is this allowed or legal is beyond me.

Skull girls, poor skull girls

Dunno what the player can do but sure hope the devs burn in hell for this.
This is a major d*ck move.

I don’t think the rainbow version would be the problem. It’s mostly republicans that want porn gone, so I’m pretty sure nudity in games will have to be toned down under the current far right regime.

Should you be able to refund because of changes at a later stage? I don’t think so. Since one can preceive basically every patch that ditches content, as censorship. It would open the gates for q anon echo chamber propagandists to blackmail western companies for existing and being successful.

To me the worst and most common censorship of games. Is when a new version comes out and old versions are deleted. So you can't get them anymore.

Its happened so many times to me now...

Specially with early access games that can take years until "full release". Where the dev totally changes what you bought.

We're on a slippery slope to forcing all women into burkas. Enjoy your freedom now ladies, they're coming for it.

They can censor all they want, as long as the version people bought is still up.

According to the posters on the discussions and the youtubers, they're retroactively censoring the PC version too which has been out for years

ai I yeeterday born LOL

what web shot in this? BANANANAD!

space saved: 2mb.

I am of course referring to the hack job the ai did on fallout 4 dialogue timing, where it unintentionally gave every synth a complete lack of syntax or speech timing and also affected a few characters that are canonically not synths.

because it did it basically at random and synth dialogue is oxymoronically overwritten compared to the other characters in the game for some reason.
