Sony hate thread

[The Last Stand]

Where are you getting loli from in all this? These characters don't even look like teens. A young adult maybe, but no way loli. lol There's nothing wrong with people enjoying sexy and attractive things.. ESPECIALLY in fiction and particularly with drawings/fictional characters.

I didn't say there wasn't. Look at my profile. I'm saying that there's a cultural barrier between perceived sexualization from Western and Asian countries. The larger issue in play is that artistic creativity is being stifled because of politics, not levels of taste.

Further arguments for Japanese developers to jump ship and never port their titles to any Playstation hardware. Sony has lost the plot:

They are forcing Japanese developers to conform to ESRB rating standards, not CERO, even for releases intended for the Japanese only market.

When communicating with Sony representatives to get approval all communications have to be done in ENGLISH, nobody in the Sony HQ California offices seems to speak Japanese.

Any complain about content being censored has to go through the department that is responsible for said censorship.

You think you hate Sony, but you really don't hate them enough.

Sony is 100% responsible for this and likely put a clause in their dealings with Shift Up that they can't say (or do) anything about it, which explains why they're so cagey about discussing it openly. I have to imagine Shift Up's director is just as pissed as the rest of us are.

Thanks for the new avitar.

Fucking perfect.

1924 to 2024, puritan busybodies never change.

 

[ShitLurker]

Amazing how any sort of interaction with a California branch translates into them becoming brain parasites that destroy everything in their wake. Grand strategy you slant eyed fucks, leave everything in the hands of the most sheltered and self absorbed people in the fucking world "Why Sony no dominant no more?!" asks some retarded nip in some meeting room somewhere. Jesus fuck, one would think that all Japanese companies would have learned from Inafune's retarded "westernize our games" ploy that blew up in his fucking face yet they are all going into the fucking pigsty and getting surprised when they get dirty.

Great, now I can't even ask for a Bloodborne port because I know they will fuck it up.

You'd like to think that, but don't forget that Shift Up agreed to this publishing deal in the first place, after the game had already started development. I also believe that Shift Up have faced accusations of censorship in the past from their previous game, Nikke.

They're Korean.

Koreans are the biggest corporate whores imaginable.

They're Korean.

Not surprising

It is the end of April 2024 and there are zero ( 0 ) reasons to own and keep a playstation 5.

 

[Miller]

Why don't they add a burka as a western audience-friendly costume for the character?

You'd like to think that, but don't forget that Shift Up agreed to this publishing deal in the first place, after the game had already started development. I also believe that Shift Up have faced accusations of censorship in the past from their previous game, Nikke.

...and Shift Up also went public not so long ago. It's the perfect opportunity for Snoy to kill that studio.

I'd expect such draconian, xenophobic policies from Nintendo in the 80s/90s, not Sony in the 2020s. All this talk about diversity, equity and inclusion, they love to gatekeep to fulfill THEIR utopia.

Sony have always been censorious. The Japanese even have a phrase for it; the "Sony Check":

Slightly unrelated to the decline of Sony conversation - I would argue that the authoritarian culture in Korea is what led to the massive deaths from the Sewol ferry disaster.

Slightly unrelated to the decline of Sony conversation - I would argue that the authoritarian culture in Korea is what led to the massive deaths from the Sewol ferry disaster.

The authoritarianism of SK, in addition to the massive amount of corruption and incompetence within, all contributed to that preventable disaster, as well as with the Sampoong Department Store collapse, which also had so many chances to prevent the collapse from happening, but corruption and greed was too much. One thing of note was that the Sewol ferry was originally going to be decommissioned, but it was decided to keep the ship in service, as a cost-cutting measure.

In regards to hard game time limits for minors in SK, do they use facial recognition to enforce that, like how China does with their similar game laws? Most games in Korea (I think), require a valid KSSN number to register for them, so that's probably used for game time enforcement as well.

A lot of why that disaster happened had to do with Korea being a highly hierarchical, Confucian society, where those in power over you are to be respected and listened to above all else, and those who are socially inferior are not supposed to go against them. These same issues led to infamous plane crash, and the later reports written based on the black box recording basically came to the same conclusion, forcing SK's top airline to make some major changes.

If people think it's bad enough now that companies can drop your library of paid games on a whim because you said nigger in chat, it would be considerably worse with stream-based gaming. They could drop your stream at anytime since they already have made it clear that you own nothing; could even end up like the Chinese state of affairs where your stuff is forcefully ended after a set number or hours.

Stream-based gaming is cancer. No franchise is worth the jump, and we will never see the free Internet services and greatly upgraded infrastructure that would need to be in place to make it worth consideration.

Thankfully, it's not going anywhere. Stadia seemed to be the biggest name, and nobody outside of a subreddit actually seriously used it as their main thing. I never hear anything about Amazon Luna, and I guess that's tied into Amazon Prime? There are probably others, but who cares? Even PlayStation fanboys never talk about Playstation Now or whatever it is beyond justification for how expensive PS Plus is.

Oh we know they have clauses like this. Pretty much all the major players do. Especially publishers in general. With hints of active covering requirements as well. It's why the excuses are always the same.

You think you hate Sony, but you really don't hate them enough.

This shit has been known for a long time. But the gaming press refuses to talk about it outside of a passing smirk remark, and all mainstream gaming and fandom forums/sites actively censor discussion in most cases. They pretend like it's an annoyance to allow or like it's spam/hearsay. This shit has pretty much gutted these aspects of a lot of japanese devs, especially niche ones. We've had creators quit over this, after the business side of their devs/pubs demanded they play along and don't cause trouble.

Don't forget that (even censored) porn is banned over there and their already japanese style censored hentai manga industry just got over a major government crackdown. While keeping in mind that they have a large/popular strain of militant 2nd wave style feminazi ideology with major political power. (i'm talking near separatist levels of militant) Combine it with the other US prudish ideology pushed on them after WW2 (religious conservative) and you get the perfect storm of anti-male sexuality.

Which is probably for the best in a way, since the modern Korean hentai, manga, romance and drama author seems obsessed with NTR, cheating, cuck.. and especially blackmail/drugging/rape/mind-break into such things. If a story doesn't outright have one of those things happen to a main character, it will happen to a side or background character and there will be at least a threat to the main female character at least once. This OC not counting the lengths they go to officially get around it while still happening. (like a time rewind story to back before official relationship, memories intact, leading OC to a happy "restore" ending.. with memories intact again. etc) Some people don't call them cuckoreans for no reason.

The gaming industry over there is actually in a war with feminists. Getting involved with the global (western/US) markets is going to prove disastrous for that fight as their media companies get convinced about the need to "reach everyone" and conform to social justice norms.

Looks like a new jailbreak for the ps4 has dropped. Its still in the early stages though.
