Have we learned nothing from New Coke!?
Good. Now they can un-patch Stellar Blade too. The petition is close to 80000 while writing this.
The changes they made are so minor that I personally don't think it's worth getting upset about.
However, I don't understand why they felt the need to change anything at all when the game is already M-rated. Since they literally lied about regional changes a week before the game came out, they should absolutely change it back. This is the reason people should be mad.
I'm very anti-censorship and think the whole thing's dumb... on both ends. It should have never happened, and I'm not entirely sure why it did. That said, it affects a whopping two outfits out of over 30. I'd just choose something else for Eve to wear and move on with my life.
I got the disc version so it doesn't affect me, but this is about principal!
They (Sony) seem to do this with Asian games, but Western developed games get a free pass. It's hypocrisy in the first degree.
Probably had to satisfy SOMEONE wit this.
But you know that if "they" can get a little censorship they will bitch for more.
I would still love and play the game religiously even if I only had the digital version, but knowing it's there is enough to annoy me.
Will be interesting to see if SOny reacts to the petition or that a very vocal minority have cancelled PSN accounts and Sony even had to refund the game....But I doubt it.
I wholeheartedly, 1000% agree. The changes are minor but they exist, and that's the problem. And that is why people are pissed and why the petition exists to begin with.
"The game is so successful and we got a lot of good will!... I hate it. Let's ruin it."

And people say that steam review bombing doesn't work. Glad it did! Edit: Well, that and specially the mass refunds, lol.
Oh this is far dumber than New Coke. This is more like if New Coke sold extremely well world wide, then they suddenly stopped selling it in over half the world. Even that doesn't quite compare though.
This was just so freakin stupid. Sony was handed the biggest success story of the year on a silver platter. All they had to do was not screw it up. Just sell the game and keep the servers online. Could not have been simpler for them. But no, some jackass in (I assume) the C Suite wasn't quite happy enough with it. They had to push their luck.
The real question is, will Sony actually learn anything from this?
