I wonder how the

types feel now.
And yes, this specific game will get an English translation for the Asian releases from what I gather. But what about many games that won't? Regardless of whether it's a particularly big deal for THIS game or not, such a decision just tells them "yes, you CAN influence the Japanese games industry".
I say let them know how stupid this is. There's barely any reaction at all, I assume because no one is considering the wider implications of this because "YOU CAN STILL PLAY IT IN ENGLISH SO SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU DRAMATIC FAGGOT!!!!!"

I think they do, as long as those Japanese games are made with a Western audience in mind. Stuff like Senran Kagura will always exist because it's mainly made for Japanese people, and really popular series like MGS can get away with it because people will buy them anyway, but those are not the only existing types of Japanese games. If you're a smaller developer and want to appeal to a worldwide audience you might, like these guys, misguidedly think that you need to pander to the Leigh Alexanders and Adam Sesslers of the industry.

I also suspect this is why they abandoned the steam version of DoA leaving 50,000 people with an unfinished game and no way to get a refund. Around the start of 2015 it looked like they suddenly stopped marketing towards westerners at all, I'm guessing a choice to abandon western markets was made around then.
I would suggest a scorched earth type response, plenty of people have tried to talk sense into them we just can't get through to them because every week theres a new polygon or kotaku article telling them they need to censor everything, just shit up their social media with complaints saying you will boycott all koei tecmo products because they support censorship and are betraying their customers by supporting political extremists.

Nobody is taking your vidya away. A corporation made a corporate decision (and if you think a few bloggers influence those decisions, you're an idiot) to not localize a game that probably doesn't sell very well in this market, all because it apparently can't handle the criticism it expects.
That's ALL on Tecmo Koei. They don't want to be criticized, so they're not bothering to bring a game out here. You wanna be mad at someone, be mad at a company not confident enough in its product to bring it out over here.

You actually have a good point. It's pretty obvious that Tecmo Koei is acting in an extremely cowardly manner. I do agree should be held just as accountable for succumbing to the SJWs as the SJWs should be held accountable for creating a hostile market environment for these types of games.
However, this line makes it blatantly obvious that you're an apologetic pro-censorship shitlord:
>They don't want to be criticized, so they're not bothering to bring a game out here.
Oh boy. I've seen plenty of assholes like you before. You match the "I don't agree with censorship, but…" archetype quite nicely. Jesus fucking christ, you're even willing to exert the notion that such "criticisms" Tecmo'll face are actual legitimate contructive arguments instead of just the usual belittling we've been hearing as a result of the SJWs' dislike of such content.
Holy fuck. How many perfectly legitimate Japanese titles have we been forced to miss out on or deal with watered-down localizations because of asswipes like you defending their decisions?
Censorship apologists like you need to be purged from the anime, manga, J-game, and visual novel communities with extreme prejudice. I've seen so many fuckers like you on various anime/manga discussion boards, it's not even funny. Even if you're not an SJW, I've seen too many dipshits like you defend and support localization-induced censorship to the point where the localization companies themselves actually listen to you as a voice of reason. No, you are fucking not.
You are a blight on the weeb fandom and the primary obstacle to getting video games from Japan as free of localization-induced censorship as anime DVDs and manga books have become in the west.
If the upcoming western release of Senran Kagura Estival Versus gets censorsed, or if games like Uppers or Valkyrie Drive: Bhikkhuni get passed on for a western release, we'll be sure to hold fuckers like you accountable for supporting such decisions.

I agree with you 100 percent. Even before GamerGate it was like this with white knights in disguise and the like. We really need to have a no tolerance policy about censorship. That's why I get so frustrated with KiA. Threads about censorship alwyas having idiots coming out of the wood work to try to justify it in some way or tell us it isn't a big deal. No, fuck you, it is!
About weeb fandom. We already partially dealt with this, and people like 4Kids were branded as heretics and chased out with torches and pitch forks. This needs to happen in vidya.

No, what you do is create a fake controversy. It spreads online providing free advertising getting your name out, and starts a Pro/Anti-Skub argument.
Once things get going you start getting demand from people that want to see said "controversial" game. Suddenly the "interest" is there and the game is released and with all the media hype of the "misogynist" game it'll probably disappoint with cheap fan-service and dry gameplay. Like the other two games.

Look at the NISA forums. For every person that decries about censorship in games like Mugen Souls or Criminal Girls, you see a number of of dedicated assholes defending the edits (see user "Rednal" as an example). Given how NISA keeps doing this shit, it's a safe assumption that these "fans" are providing the support and assurance NISA needs to delude themselves into thinking they made the right decisions. The same goes for the JAST USA forums when they censored games like Family Project, School Days, and Starless.

I have a friend who considers himself a closet nerd - he's also beta as fuck regarding it (his last girlfriend made him sell his 3DS. The fucking idiot did it. Instantly regretted it and saw the light, though) and super apologetic about his hobbies. He's pretty redpilled on the whole gamergate situation, though, and he's a pretty cool guy, shitty taste in women (IE - any) aside.
The problem there is the apologism - people apologetic for their hobbies are the majority in any vaguely nerdy group. The apologetic ones are also the quickest to fold at any pressure from an outsider group yelling at them for being sexist, violent, racist, whatever.
In other words, people with high power levels may be the majority here, making bowing down to censorship "for your own good" seem like a fucking retarded concession to us; but in the community at large, 90% are just going to fucking bow, and the people pushing and mandating these changes know it.

Their euro PR guy runs this, he will likely support you but keep in mind the Japanese staff don't help him much so don't shit up his twitter.
https://twitter.com/teamninjastudio
Run by Japanese staff at koei tecmo, only one guy speaks english, if you post in japanese many of the staff seem to watch the account. The guy who speaks english prefers facebook so hes more likely to read the doa5 game page but I don't think the other Japanese staff use FB much.
I have much more info, I have been trying to warn everyone for 12 months that this developer and publishers was being targeted but no one ever listens.

It's a corporate decision that was directly influenced by social justice warriors. Your group is such a big group of cry baby bullies that you are actually scaring people away from making games. You've become that undesirable one that people don't want to be around. Congratulations.
If there were no SJWs, we would be getting this game.

It's funny how there's a glaring contradiction in the first paragraph. What you're saying is don't blame SJWs for the toxic culture they created where Japanese companies won't put out a game due to the backlash they expect from whiny SJ-infected Westerners.

Dead or Alive has come a long way i remember playing this as a kid and noticed the moving breasts that was my main reason for playing it.
I almost never played any of the male characters,why the fuck does this game even have male characters? no one gives a shit bout them and i cn't even remember their names.
Unless they want to appeal to the female audience and enable giant penis mode.

Actually, many kinds of people shadowban for various different reasons, regardless of group or ideology. If we shadowbanned (or just plained banned) guys like you from every anime, manga, and Japanese video game message/imageboard, there'd be less guys providing positive feedback to localization companies for some of the shitty decisons they pull off. They'd actually be run to the ground by the fans that actually care, just like how 4Kids was run out of the anime business in the mid-2000s for their atrocious editing/censorship practices.

Oh man, One Piece in particular was a mess because at some point they knew they were fucked and just decided to go down with the sinking ship.
It wasn't just the editing, but the fact that they had absolutely no foresight. They didn't watch ahead enough in the series to know which parts should (or could) have been edited without affecting the plot (lol Laboon).

Just because she's not in management doesn't mean she doesn't have a say in the localization decisions. As a non-Japanese person, she'd be an "expert" on Western cultures and it's quite possible they'd consult with her. If her response was "nooooo, we'll get horrible backlash, LOOK AT ALL THIS SHITSTORM!!!!111" and points at the SJW garbagefest of the past three years, then what do you think is going to happen?

I don't think it's her doing it. It's mainly two specific kt employees responsible.
One american one, I don't think hes an extreme SJW but he lives in CA and is easily influenced by them.
One japanese one in tokyo that speaks english. He would probably support you but it's very difficult for him to understand. He only sees things from the perspective kotaku and polygon articles combined with fb & twitter posts, as far as he is aware most westerners are horribly offended by boobs and swimsuits. He doesn't really know about the sites video game customers are more likely to spend time on like reddit, 4ch or steam.
I have been trying to warn people on /v/ for 2+ years well before GG, a bunch of people were launching a relentless harassment campaign about this for around 3 years on the teamninja twitter account and some employees personal accounts. Everyone just ignores me though.
Does anyone know the email address for the breitbart guy who wrote the DoAX3 article? I would like to give him more information but my twitter account has too many links to koei tecmo people.

I think it would be counterproductive to actually name names of potential employees involved with the decision, it would come across as a witchhunt and alienate the company.

You know, considering their entire attitude with DOA5 concerning the roster additions and costume DLCs, and the fact that the U.S. has been a much larger market than Asia for DOA games in general. This feels like controversy bait.
It may actually be true, but since their attitude before this was "We don't give a shit if you're triggered", that and refusing to sell to your largest international market over a minority who doesn't buy the product anyway is pure fucktardation.
Log me as a skeptic who sees forced company controversy on this one. But yes, I'd be pissed as hell if this is genuinely true and want to see the game come here.

If the games actually sold well enough to justify localization and marketing costs AND dealing with the constant negative PR the modern gaming press has given not just to the volleyball games, but to Dead or Alive as a whole (justifiable as Dead or Alive has always been a shitty fighting game series that only as of DoA5 has tried to paint itself as anything more than fanservice to the forever alone), then maybe we would see DOAX3 getting an official release.
At best, this is Tecmo trying to get attention from useful idiots, given that pretty much every one of their franchises has been in the shitter for the better part of the last decade.
Like seriously, claiming or BELIEVING that Tecmo ONLY NOW gives a shit about being called out by SJWs flies in the face of games being released today that are "sexist" on pretty much any level an SJW cares to nitpick. Fucking, we've been getting Senran Kagura, which is way more "sexist" than anything DoA has pulled off.
It's a cute PR stunt, but they should have manned the fuck up and joined other "misogynist" games that have come out in 2015.

That's it. I'm sick and tired of you faggots lamenting about the state of the weeb market here. If you pay attention to more than what the AAA companies say, you'll notice that there is hope left.

http://gematsu.com/2015/12/monster-monpiece-hyperdimension-neptunia-u-hyperdevotion-noire-coming-steam-2016
For those of you not in the know, Monster Monpiece is Idea Factory International's first localization. This is a turn-based RPG where you battle various cards featuring monster girl characters, and you can level them up at certain times by rubbing their clothing off.
It got notoriety when Idea Factory Intl. decided to censor the PS Vita version by removing approximately 17 cards and their variants (which amounts to a total of 40) due to the suggestive/loli nature of them.
Idea Factory International just announced earlier this month that they're porting an uncensored version of Monster Monpiece to Steam, and that they'll be avoiding titles that need to be censored. If we want to encourage developers to have the balls to ignore SJW pressure and release sexually suggestive games uncut in the west, then supporting this release would probably be a good start.
If they felt that Steam is more lax on sexual content than handhelds/home consoles, then it could serve as a viable alternative for releasing uncensored weeb games in the west.
While you're fucking at it, you could also support Kindred Spirits on the Roof on Steam, the first adult-oriented weeb title to be released there uncensored:
https://archive.is/NVyF7
We just have to show them that they'll succeed it they stop worrying and get out of their goddamned shell. We need to ensure that MonMon on Steam sells FAR more than the Vita version.
