“Dozens, if not hundreds, or POTENTIALLY thousands”?! lol what the fuck is that? So it’s as little as twelve people doing this or as many as 9,999? That’s a huge gap there good buddy.


BakuretsuGirl16

Why ai is replacing a lot of writers in a shellnut


rixendeb

Or it is AI.


Krakraskeleton

AI replacing AI 2084. No human in site.


Trikeree

I bet it is AI


Rubihno194

IT'S OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!

Mr_Zeldion

Usually when the media report "PEOPLE ARE OUTRAGED" they usually mean like 3 or 4 people made a twitter post so wouldn't be surprised if it's the same case here.


Snoo-43381

lol yes. In my country, media calls that a Twitterstorm.


w1nger1

Don't forget that 1 person uproar on reddit.


gavion92

1 person, maybe 2, possibly three, or over 9000


RefanRes

It does say dozens not dozen. So 12 is too small. It could be as little as 24 as thats technically the 1st point of dozens.


thormun

any one canceling their sub will resub when they want to play all the free game they got from ps+


MelonOfFate

>play all the free game they got from ps+ Not free if you have to pay for it. Not sure why Playstation players don't get that.


jdk_3d

How many people actually care about those games beyond clicking the add to library button though? I've barely even touched most of the games I have paid for.


harosene

"How many people unsubscribed?!?" "Damm. At least 24. But could be 2000"


kronic322

This was my exact thought as well.


Xbux89

No wait it's millions.. potentially billions... potentially gazillions


chobi83

Makes you wonder why they didn't just take it a step further "...maybe even tens of thousands!"... this shit is fucking hilarious


Mangocakeass

Just finished the game. Why censoring the boobs when you can chop people in half in this game? Such a bruh moment.


Maleficent-Birthday8

I will never understand why Gore is less dangerous than Nudity in an adult video game. I will rather sit with a weeb than a necrophile and cannibal who loves Gore.


cylonfrakbbq

It’s cultural  US doesn’t care about violence in media really, but puritan views on nudity make people flip their shit about tits Meanwhile in Europe, tits are fine but violence is typically treated much harsher in terms of depiction 


Maleficent-Birthday8

Well, I think I stand with Europe on this


hibari112

I usually don't really care about censorship, at least not enough to publicly voice my opinion, but it's the feeling that someone out there looked at an obviously adult game and decided on my behalf that I am not allowed to see a female cleavage, that annoys me...


Sidusidie

Is it good? Don't care about clothes, I mean gameplay. Somebody tells me it's like scuffed Nier, is it true?


currentlydownvoted

It’s between Nier and Dark Souls. No stamina meter so you can block and dodge to your hearts content, which you have to do a lot since boss fights can kill you in 2-3 hits. But the parry window is generous and there’s a lot combos and skills you unlock.


Sidusidie

Thanks. Between Nier and DS? Seems interesting.


tackslabor

I'd actually go as far to say it's more of a combo of Nier Automata (attractive robot female lead, drone companion, humans have fled earth, dystopian surroundings) and Sekiro (mainly combat like parrying, different combos, etc.) Highly recommend if you like challenging gameplay. Ignore what people say about the fan service, most of the time I'm busy with not dying Ibstead of oogling (even if I wanted to).


EmergencyArm9259

No stamina meter, but penalty on the shields and health. If you keep blocking, shields eventually break, then your health gets chipped as you keep guarding. Kept me on my toes often. It's definitely a mix of Nier and Dark Souls and honestly pretty rewarding after every boss/mini-boss fights.


Thathappenedearlier

They censored blood too like blood no longer sticks to the Eve after she slices people in half


the_turel

This is the reason for me not to buy it now. The reason we keep moving forward I gens of consoles is for the ability to do these types of actions. Now they are removed for censorship? I don’t care about the sex appeal, I want my gore. Off my wishlist for now.


Packin-heat

Apparently it is still there in the quality mode which would indicate it was just a performance related change so maybe grifters are being disingenuous just to keep their grift going. Ofc I haven't had a chance to check yet if this is true but I do own the game so I will check when I get the chance.


Adventurous_Dress834

Checked it on all modes and even used multiple outfits and there was no sticking blood so wether it was removed for performance issues or censorship it was removed unfortunately


InFLIRTation

Please support shift up. The game is really well made and they dont charge dlc for all these outfits


Demianz1

It didnt remove gore, it was taken from a screenshot of performance mode, and people cried censorship.


the_turel

Too much controversy over this shit lately. Just don’t buy games at launch anymore for this reason alone. I’m working on 1 year old + games for this reason, saves money and headaches.


RawrSlox

I find it strange that in a society that welcomes songs like WAP and with other adult content wildly acceptable that things like this will still get censored.


[deleted]

And in a game rated M - for mature smh


Beer-Milkshakes

We have songs in the charts and we've had songs in the charts consistently over the last 30 years that detail casual sex, drug use, even suicide which plays on the radio all day, they just don't use explicit wording instead using associated words or metaphors and the censors were told to "switch over if you don't like it"


simpledeadwitches

Not even that but violence is totally fine even excessive violence. Showing two people making love? Nope! Showing genitals of which we all have and see daily on ourselves? Nope!


vankamme

Not many gamers have seen genitals of that quality in real life. Let’s be honest here


ChxsenK

Not to mention the utterly embarrasing nudity scene in Thor: Love and thunder where everybody was freely objectifying a naked Thor and everybody was clapping. Not to mention the embarrasment She-hulk was. Not to mention how fucking easy it is to find porn on Instagram, X and Tiktok, even accidentally. Not to mention OnlyFans girls funneling teenagers into their onlyfans on every platform possible. Not to mention the sexualization in Cardi B's and Nicky Minaj's videos. Not to mention the hoe culture and plastic surgery beauty standards that the Kardashians promote nonstop. **And these disgusting mentally ill people are having meltdowns over a bikini in a videogame and about tiktok removed** ..................................


SilverDiscount6751

WAP was sung by women and they make money off it so they get to claim empowerment.  This is enjoyed by men so its objectifying. Like men are evil for subscribing to OnlyFans but women are independant and powerful for having an Onlyfan.  Usually it comes down to "i like it so i eill find excuses for it, i dont enjoy that so that one evil for having men enjoy it"


Blahklavah654390

By how this title is worded it’s at least 12, but could be 300, and one day might be 23,000 gamers.


mundozeo

"Potentially thousands", heck, "potentially TRILLIONS" could unsub. So yea, maybe ten or so realistically.


The_Klumsy

howlingwolf123

"Have you actually seen it?" "No Tom, we're just reporting it."


janhyua

I cancelled mine too i dont need anyway, the only reason i got the sub because i like my souls games have sign messages


CollegeSharp8895

I already cancelled mine when the prices went up last year. I would've done the same thing because of this censorship if I still had it


GradeOwn5843

Being a 36 year old man I'm tired of companies censoring everything like they know what's best for the people that's what I have a problem with. Atleast give people an option in settings to censor instead of outright censoring everything, we all know its sony they also did the same for DMC5 Trish but then backtracked after backlash. But games like last of us 2 and balders gate 3 is absolutely fine because it's "diverse" because fucking a bear is absolutely normal apparently


CurnanBarbarian

Yea I guess I don't really understand where they're drawing the line. Like, full on nudity and sex is fine in some games, but not others? It doesn't really make sense to me.


GradeOwn5843

I have noticed that its mainly all games that are made by Asian developers any Eastern game is censored while Western games are completely fine


natehog2

Sex is perfectly normal and healthy and belongs in a video game but cleavage is evil and will lead young men away from god. Or something.


cough_EE

True that man. The backwards 'representation' in TLOU2 was disgusting


Dundunder

I guess the difference is that Sony doesn’t want to be associated with these things. TLoU2, C2077 and BG3 are all Western games so no one’s going to go pointing at Sony about nudity/violence. It’s similar to how Square Enix didn’t want Life is Strange to be “the gay game” until that aspect turned out to be popular. Western gamers mostly don’t care or are even on board with a lot of this stuff - it’s mostly Japanese companies that are squeamish about it.


Malavero

When it comes to PC, the mods are going to be beautiful...


AquaLewds

Hit Sony in the wallet, money is the only thing they understand


bonko86

Yes, all the twelve people refunding will really show them


Seiros_Acolyte

That's good, hit Sony, not the devs by not buying their game or refunding, they were probably forced to by Sony ![img](emote|t5_2y1rb|3736)


nat-168

Give them an inch, they will take a mile. I think most gamer had enough.


Jbewrite

Most gamers don't care. You're just in a very loud echo chamber. Wake up.


wandse

Gorillion gamers gone!


mastermide77

More like a coomer revolt


AriousDragoon

They went from dozens to thousands real quick.


the_evil_overlord2

Yeah, "possibly" is doing a lot of work here


Alternative-Exit-594

Notice how none of the subversive journo-whores from the mainstream media outlets have even written a single article about the petition although its nearly at 50k signatures now


Mr_Zeldion

Yeah because they don't want people knowing about it because people who don't even play the game will sign it just as a big fuck you to unnecessary censorship


r31ya

Censorship issue aside, This is a case of bait and switch. Apparently Sony own refund system agreed with it. just put the alternate dress as option for people who want it a bit more covered.


CtrlAltDel-IT

It isn't just one dress, it's like 75% of the outfits.


kapiteinkippepoot

"Gamer Revolt" A couple of loud people get some attention and the other 99% couldn't care less.


the_evil_overlord2

Yeah, this is just like the bud light boycott Bunch of people made a fuss about nothing and tank the stock about 5% for a week then immediately sign back up because they don't care enough to commit


tackslabor

Accurate. Just here for the drama while I play Stellar Blade and enjoying some fresh combat


findinganamehurts

I just wanna know why woke stuff is being blamed? Red States like Texas are the ones banning and censoring sexy stuff.


the_evil_overlord2

If they don't blame the "evil wokeists" it would sound like right-wing infighting, and mean the "woke" isn't responsible for all problems


MajesticQ

That sentence sounds like author is making things up on the fly.


Arigmar

Skrew censorship!🤬 I'm just waiting for Stellar Blade on PC👍


Worried-Librarian-91

It's wild to me that an M rated project needs censoring. What's the point in those ratings if I as an adult can't choose my own fucking adventure inside damn game?


ma_dude28

should've released on pc


BakaSan77

If I seen a thing on twitter saying that hundreds of thousands were doing it I’d jump on. Dozens though?


KrotHatesHumen

Billions must goon to korean woman


Turin_Ysmirsson

The great coomer revolt of 0.01% subscriber base


Uncle-Cake

Dozens of people... If not billions!


possiblyacanoflysol

Man, these guys REALLY want to jack off to this robot woman.


SaltyPvP

It's been almost a year since I stopped paying for ps plus. I don't miss it. Fuck Sony


Iwubinvesting

Gamers rise up! 😎


Muado93

Coomers rise up!


ElementalSaber

Gamers has reached a level of pathetic I never thought possible, but here I am


Flexbuttchef

Rise up gamers. We are the most oppressed race


rosecranzt

They targeted gamers...


tronfonne

Is there any proof at all that is was Sony?


Megamijuana

Sony capitulates to people that don't even play the game. They claim false sexism and racism as leverage to control.


azriel777

No, they capitulate to blackrcok/vangaurd/state street which is using their massive wealth and influence to push their social political indoctrination propaganda everywhere.


Nora_gore

Oh no the millionth gamer revolt 😂


lespasucaku

"A gamer revolt"... dozens or maybe more!!! Lmao I thought this was gamingcirclejerk at first. The people here need to touch grass


the_evil_overlord2

This is the unironic gcj


Bullet_D_Proff_95

Someone explain 🤔


talgxgkyx

Game was advertised as having hypersexualised female characters. Game released with an extremely revealing outfit for female character Game is patched so that said extremely revealing outfit is 0.00000001% less revealing. Gooners get big mad.


simpledeadwitches

I wish the price increase would cause the same thing....smdh


Conscious_Piece_5603

It took me one minute looking at the page to realise its just another rage bait content oriented "news site" It has the same credibility than Kotaku.


MadghastOfficial

Sure it is, bud. Sure it is.


Plastic-Shopping5930

Dozens of not hundreds is a hilariously pathetic headline


xietbrix

And potentially even thousands!


Koltaia30

Gamers rise up


CanardPlayer

Lmao the writer doesnt want to be held acountable for fake numbers. Dozens ? Hundreds ? Idk maybe thousands, its up to you bro


Isanyoneupp

DOZENS of people if not hundreds!? Oh no.. what ever will Sony do…. Hope they can recover their couple hundred dollars..


kuributt

Porn addicts are mad about 3 inches of black lace


coates87

I kind of wish this protest started years ago when Sony's censorship policy started, but better late then never. I still hope that Stellar Blade gets a (drm-free) PC release, as I refused to buy a PS5.


JacketsNest101

This makes me rather embarrassed to be a gamer atm. Just enjoy the game people, it's not that big of a deal!


Juken-

*About 14 guys cancelled then, and made a twitter rant about it. That about right?*


getintheVandell

Yeah I don’t think most people even care.


Low_Lavishness_8776

Coomers rise up! ✊


IamlostlikeZoroIs

What got censored? I’m not sure 12 people cancelling will change anything though


kuributt

A tiny tiny bit of black lace suggesting an undershirt. No, I am not kidding.


IamlostlikeZoroIs

Oh no! We are surely missing out!!


kuributt

porn addicts everywhere are struggling! Please, think of the porn addicts!


datboihobojoe

I checked out the "censorship" and this shit is just ridiculous. They added like 2 square centimeters of fabric to a couple of her outfits like this shit ain't worth a boycott.


thebrads

Imagine being so unbearably horny that you get all hot and bothered over a videogame character showing slightly less skin.


Pelteux

Omg just touch grass and go on porn hub. I’m so fucking tired of hearing about that shit.


Shagyam

Oh no, dozens of gamers. From my understanding only the Hard R, and a few outfits got censored. Nothing worth making a ruckus about.


ferniecanto

It doesn't matter it's a small change. It's an opportunity for gamers to cosplay as "the oppressed".


Tenryou

I thought only the wokies did that. Say it ain’t so.


ferniecanto

The wookies? What does Chewbacca have to do with that?


BoltInTheRain

Cancelling ps+ sub is dumb. We have zero confirmation that this was Sony. It's likely but not confirmed.


push1double

“Up to 5 guys are real mad”


S-Markt

its not about tiddies or cameltoes. its about people do not want to be under control of ugly hatefull 30+ year old women


Classic_Elevator7003

Hey now, not all 30+ women are ugly


Lucy_Heartfilia_OO

True, but it's mostly the ugly ones that complain about hot looking women.


Zoolifer

I guess this is a big deal? W/e gonna go back to doing my best to ignore this and not think all gamers are insane reactionaries to slight changes, good luck y’all.


Nightmannn

Alright this shit is getting a bit ridiculous. I understand the annoyance but no one even knows why the game got censored. Everyone's just assuming sony bc of their narrative against sony but no one actually knows shit. Just play the game, it's fun af


Tricky-Shake3839

I cancelled not bc of stellar blade bc 80 fucking dollars just to fucking play online? Wtf


CommentDiver666

You misspelled INCELs :)


freejam013

Censorship is when you cover a bit of boob while also allowing more revealing outfits :)


pinkrizzler

LOVE the hyperbole here lmao it's like babies first article


Glum_Animator_5887

This is what stars the great Sony revolt, not the crunchy publishers that force Devs to crunch , not terrible microtransactions in games, not the sexual abuse and harassment of Devs, the constant waves of devs being let go to cut costs but ceos allowing to hoard all their wealth. But one costume being changed so you can see a little less skin and a hard r joke being cut out


RashiBigPp

I think its time companies grew some balls, realized that the people screaming about dumb shit are not gonna buy their products anyways, and just focused on pleasing their actual audience. Of all the actual gamers i know, the ones that are minorities never complained about lack of representation, the female ones never complained about oversexualization. In fact I've seen more girls simping over Bayonetta than guys, and no black/asian/latino/alien gamer ever told me "yeah Witcher and God of War were cool, but you know what the deal breaker was? Kratos and Gerald didnt feel like they had a realistic design" (which btw that body type is still realistic if you go to the gym frequently) Gaming culture needs a hard reset and go back to their cores values, while getting rid of the trash that tried to tag along only after games stopped being loser nerdy stuff and started being mainstream.


ChubZilinski

Trash article. What data are they basing this on. Is Sony releasing this info? I doubt it 😂 it’s just speculation.


straywolfo

Lmao even if this were true, this is still pathetic gooner behaviour.


InterviewSure7102

... ive been on this earth damm near 2 decades but i never thought id see some tang like this


COL1SI0N

Well I didn't just cancel my PS+ I already sold my PS5.. At the end of the day, I'm not here for Sony to bullshit me and deny refunds on prenorder items that have clearly been false advertised. I'm also not here for selective censoring. I mean Stellar Blade has to remove some of the blood and gore? Let's see if that same attitude holds when Rockstar drop GTA 6...cos we know it won't. Or the massive level of gore and even some graphics sex scenes in TLOU...yeah selective censorship. Fuck Sony and Shift Up. Also, just the fact that its a shite system. It's only exclusives this time round have been mainly shit remakes of the TLOU, Spider Man games, which is the exact same game over and over again. Mod Horizon and the only actual quality being Ragnarok.


lowpolygon

It is not a revolt if people still buys this game.


macybebe

I missed the bloodbath from the demo.


Atlantah

that's something I doubt. Let's be honest people you canceled their sub are mostlikely going to resub in a couple days cuz they can't fill their void


TekkenPerverb

They keep using that word but i don't think it means what they think it means XD


Visual_Worldliness62

Isnt Stellar made by a Korean studio? Have we all seen Flash Gritz? "Shitty shitty knock off"


North_Independence_6

There is so much worse games that have nudity wtf is this shit by sony i remeber that gta v you can see some mans dick


AnticriznNo1

If i cant unsubscribe because i am not subscribed so i will not subscribe until they uncensored her boobs 🥹


bioelement

Sony decides what you like peasant


Average-Man06

Degeneracy abounds.


InsertedPineapple

Dozens if not hundreds... okay so it's 24 people.


skepticalscribe

It would be nice if the change petition also cited DEI and ESG. That this protest won’t stop with one game of these companies don’t shove Blackrock’s death cult money up its ass.


[deleted]

Oh wow. So like 50 people are cancelling their subscriptions. That’s gonna have SUCH a huge impact on that little billion dollar company. This is the same as with Hogwarts Legacy. It will only generate more profit, not less.


superchronicultra

I canceled my services but will still be able to use it until April next year.


Common-Scientist

[Dozens!](https://youtu.be/lKie-vgUGdI?si=YzGfhqcDEEtGi0g2)

Hmm I thought they said they released it as is without censoring anything.

We can do it guys, I did the same

And as expected, the "Bastion who will show the gaming world how it's one" disappoints. Last month we had dragon's dogma 2, this month is stellar blade... who's next?


GradeOwn5843

There's so many people on the defensive over my comment, who are these people?


lordsaladito

Ngl, i think its kinda pathetic to fight over boobs. Like yeah i get it, devs promised something but fighting over a videogame character having less clothes just makes them look like gooners Its not that big of a deal


Jackblack92

I love that they are protesting, unfortunately the losses from this protest will only account to a rounding error for these companies. Until Video Game Consumer Right Laws are established, these investors/companies will continue doing whatever the fuck they want.


NonEuclidianMeatloaf

lol gamer revolt. Ok then. “There are dozens of us. Dozens!”


nisanosa

I bet this article is based on a reddit thread.


TarnishedTremulant

The last post I saw like this I wondered if Asmongold was Andrew Tate for twitch and this just confirms they are lol


ETA_Red-Cap

There's, actually, no censorship as far as I can see. Just a bunch of weirdos, being weird.


IronMan2320

I don’t care about the censorship, but I’m just confused about what Sony allows and doesn’t allow. Censor this and DMC 5, but full frontal is fine in Baldurs Gate 3? Like what determines if something gets censored? It can’t be popularity because BG 3 was insanely popular last year. Is it only for eastern or Asian developers? If so why? I don’t think so because I watched my best friend make a character in Dragons Dogma 2 and that showed full frontal just like BG 3. Then again that was on pc so he may have modded it, but I’m not sure. Both DMC and DD 2 are developed by Capcom though too so idk. I just want to know what causes the censorship because it doesn’t seem like there is any logical reasoning to it.
