Censorship and PC

>What the fuck happened to video games
Simmering down the content's potential controversy to appeal to the largest possible consumer base

Stop purchasing AAA trash that insults your intellect, and buy foreign/indie games that treat you like an adult capable of realizing that showing a portrait of Hitler as a WW2 leader doesn't endorse his retarded beliefs

>>376880457
(((Gamers))) chose what is best. Now pay 40USD for that season pass.

>>376880457
Accomodation. Once video games started giving in to little things it spiraled out of control and now everything has to be censored so feelings dont get hurt. So we have to destroy accuracy to appease echochambers.

Its complete bullshit

>>376880854
I also think that letting women into the industry really polluted the hell out of it. Women cant program for shit and Andromeda should be a good example of that.

>>376880941
>women are a part of the industry for decades
>suddenly now it's a problem
Kill your self /r9k/ you can't blame everything on a gender.

>>376881057
Yes women were part of it for decades its not the old ones that are the issue. It is the new women "programmers" that are the issue.

>>376880457
Catering to a larger market. Less controversy = less banning and censorship. More copies sold.. it's a matter of $$$.

I think the whole "progressive" theme that's being tested in games/movies/commercials is just a fad. Who knows.

Wait, what? CoDWWII is actually doing that?

>Battlefield makes mascot an African American
>Overwatch puts lesbians/autism characters

what do these exactly have to do with censorship

That last one I am just going to call as being bullshit without a source.

Diversity ≠ censorship

>>376880457
>>Overwatch puts lesbians/autism characters
Nothing wrong with putting lesbians in games. It's the purest form of love, afterall.

>>376880457
>Call of Duty censors swastikas and other nazi imagery in WWII
Source? I haven't heard anything about this. Not that I was going to buy another WWII CoD anyway...

>>376880718
>>376881802
Its like they want to lose money

>>376882037
Anything I don't like is censorship.

>>376882176
CoD has been censoring swastikas for years with Zombies you dont think theu will do it now?

>>376880457
>HOI4 makes you pay extra for German portraits
There's literally a mod that adds them back in if you really have a censored copy (i dont think you can even buy it?)
Also how the fuck is the overwatch and battlefield censoring anything. And if they really are getting rid of swastikas and that (have seen no citation for this) it'll be because of Germany's shitty classification board, and only in Germany and those sort of countries.

Not a source faggot.

they censor swastikas so they can sell the game in germany

>>376882662

>>376882885

>>376880718

So games that hold your hand the entire game and are as shallow as a baby's drool pool like Persona 5 don't insult your intellect?

germanbro here

id much rather have an accurate depiction of how the situation was in that time than seeing some made up symbol like in wolfenstein one more time

sure the symbol is banned here but god damn its a video game in which you actually kill virtual nazis

Did you guys ever get Medal of Honor there?

>>376883276
sure and the previous titles actually had swastikas in it
but this time around its really dumb from activison tbqh

Did wolfenstien: the new order have swastikas in it?

>>376883398
it is not real it is fake game is only censored in germany

>>376883554
Yes.

I'm pretty sure all the mods for new portraits/flags and the german uncensor are free. Why would you care though, the game is a garbage fire at the moment

>Overwatch puts lesbians/autism characters
I don't give a fuck about anything Blizzard, but how is this a problem exactly? You being triggered by it is the only issue I see.

>HOI4 makes you pay extra for German portraits
Paradox have always been niggardly fucks who charge for this sort of thing, did they say something that actually implies or states this is censorship? Because it seems like business as usual from those cunts.

>>376880457

Censoring swastikas in a WWII game just shows hat far videogames are from real art.

If these people wrote novels, would they censor profanity? Hitler's name?

Videogames are bullshit as an art form.

>shoot people and blow people up for hours
>censor symbols
America everyone.

>>376884212
So, because you're too retarded to understand that a medium can have both commercial products and artistic endeavors or that more than one person in the world makes video games that means reality magically conforms to your delusions? No wonder you type like a retard.

>>376880457
It's almost like I play vidya for the gameplay

>>376883889

Seriously? Why the fuck is your government still so anal about something that happened so long ago

>>376880457
Publishers realised they could get SJWhales's and Conservitards to advertise their products for free by giving them petty shit to fight each other over.

It's just capitalism.

>>376884571
Is the name "Hitler" the equivalent of voldemort in our world?

Because blacks totally didn't serve in the Great War, you autistic cuck.

>>376885147
We need to censor blacks and celebrate Nazis

>>376885147
Name one (2) thing of note blacks did during either WW1 or 2

>>376885147
They did, but not in every fucking platoon had some.
If DICE were actually competent devs, they would have designed some maps that actually would make sense to have black colonial troops fighting in africa, actually giving those troops some credit at the same time, Instead of this current we wuz verdun n´ shieet crap.

>>376885147
Everyone knows that, people are more mad how in the multiplayer almost everyone was black. At least in the SP they weren't bad with it at all.

You told a bunch of diversityfags that if they didn't like the games that existed, to go make their own. Now a bunch of them work in the industry.

Blacks served in the war, but because more white people did, they don't deserve recognition. Same for the Indians, Ghurkas, Chinese etc.

Germany still doesn't allow swatikas in their vidya. They made movie about hitler in modern germany and allowed mein kampf to be sold there.So why do they censor the german version of cod still?

>>376885938
They consider movies to be art. They don't consider video games to be art.

>>376885938
Iirc, Mein Kampf is only sold under special conditions, ie you can't just waltz into any random bookstore and buy it

1. They let white people kill each other.
2. Then watched as their women emasculated their men and turned half of them against one another.

That's the only thing that matters.

>>376885938
Because video games are still legally seen as toys for babies in Germany and not afforded the same privileges as real art.

>>376880718
Most retarded post I've ever read. Not because hes promoting indie games over AAA trash, but because hes so serious about the notion that swastikas being censored is insulting to ones intelligence. Swastikas are banned in germany. Game companies want german sales. Game companies don't use swastikas to represent Nazis anymore. Games can be sold in germany.

Saged. First post was just as much of a faggot as OP.

>>376880457

>>376887556
Since you're too dumb to realize where the 'obsession' comes from, the answer is right here; It's the censorship. If the Nazis were treated just like every other group of mass murdering motherfuckers, we wouldn't be discussing the stupidity of censoring swastikas and Nazi imagery.

Why wouldn't the swastika be in COD WW2?

That was a world reveal trailer which means it was also shown in Germany and other places where showing that is a big thing

I'm yet to hear from one source that that's how the full game is

Also why is /pol/ leaking again

Ironically, it sounds like you're the one with the issues here. Did a neo-nazi hurt your feelings or what? There must be a reason for that stick in your ass, and I'm sure it's not because of some people wanting historical accuracy in a videogame. Get some help man, you need it.

This one is being way blown out of peoportion. We have no idea what the game is like yet. It's not censorship if it's not there in the first place. How will you know where the swastika would have been? Keep in mind the game doesn't take place in Berlin.

>>376898039
There's not even any proof of it anyway.

>>376898039
The swastika was a symbol of the party. It was not proudly displayed on most uniforms in the western front. This isn't a big deal

>>376898039
>It's not censorship if it's not there in the first place.
Oh, of course. I forgot the Nazi party didn't use its own logo in real life. Silly me.
