Forcing Japanese devs to complete paperwork in english pretty much confirms this huge censorship push has originated with the American branch of Sony not the Japanese.

>Japanese developer Light announced that the visual novel Silverio Trinity: Beyond The Horizon will be making its way to the PlayStation Vita starting March 28th, 2019 in Japan, as reported by Gematsu.

>The visual novel centers around a politically tense standoff between three nations over the land of Adler. The leaders of Adler want to protect a key city named Praga by putting together an experimental platoon, which includes the heroine Ashley Horizon, who was once saved by a legendary hero. Ashley will now have to return the favor and protect those who can’t protect themselves. Gematsu also notes that Silverio Trinity: Beyond The Horizon will include two additional scenarios that weren’t present in the PC release titled “For Someone / Hero’s” and “Sacrifice to the Light / Icarus.”

>The visual novel originally came out back in January of 2017 for PC, but it will make its’ full-color debut on on Sony’s gaming device for Japanese gamers in 2019. The recent delay for the book came in lieu of the developer, Light, having to succumb to Sony’s censorship policy. Light was one of the first developers to speak openly about the policy, revealing that all of the forms for the censorship regulation must be completed in English, which is something he struggled with but managed to get through it.

>He was dealing with the censorship regulations since October, but it appears as if two months later he managed to get through the forms and has now secured a release date for the visual novel on Sony’s handheld device.

>Due to the contract he already signed he’s unable to port the game to Steam at the moment, but he noted that had he not been tied to Sony he could have released Silverio Trinity on Steam within a week. In the original quote it was stated:

<“At last week’s event we discussed applying for an application request at Sony [to release the game on PS4], since we’re close to finishing up the master version of the game. However, we have not yet passed through the application process.

<“Now, Sony seems to have a policy prohibiting porting 18+ games worldwide at this time. And this game more or less has 18+ content so it’s going through a very serious and strict content review investigation. There are difficult questions you have to answer to confirm [what sort of content is in the game]. [The form] also requires being written out in English.”

>There are a couple of things to take note of. First of all, Light applied for certification on the PS4, but the game is instead being released on PS Vita. So it’s unclear if they were denied a PS4 release or if the rules for releasing games on PS Vita are more lax than PS4.

>Also, we don’t know what the damage is for Silverio Trinity in terms of the censorship. They were completing the forms back in October and Light obviously received the green light to release the game on PS Vita, but we don’t know how the game has been affected or what will be changed to suit Sony’s new standard.

>The screenshots that were released over on the official website are all fairly benign so it’s difficult to tell what may have been changed, and there’s nothing noteworthy to compare them to… yet. The only thing we know right now is that the release date has been secured, the certification process has been completed, and the game will release on PS Vita next year in March.

They moved their HQ to the USA just recently didn't they? Too close to the jews now so it's all over.

This is kind of old information but simply confirms what we already knew. The effects of Sony's action's won't come into full fruition until the next console generation. Until then, we can only spread news and get others to not buy Sony products.

So that would be one link, sony <-> devs

And the remaining that looked right is sony pandering to the chinese market.

Uncertain. I think there was a bit of a shakeup after some of their films flopped.

Anyway, the PS5 may be announced next year. But damn the push for censorship is very hard at the moment. They've come to realize, outside AAA games, most people are going for indie games and Japanese games.

The SFW versions on consoles sell more than the R18 versions on PC. Many people just want to date cute girls and see their stories. These eroge companies realized they could tap into a much larger market by getting into consoles. Nintendo, for the longest, wouldn't allow them to make games on their consoles so Sony took them in. Now Sony has blind sided all of them. After this backstabbing to all these devs mid production, they'll most likely move to the Switch.

Mind you, I trust Nintendo just as much as Sony. So I think this is only a temporary solution as Nintendo will pull this bullshit too when they get on top. I predict that Sony will rely on remasters again. This time, however, they won't have Vita ports and PS2/3 remasters to save them. What is on the PS4 worth remastering? Most likely just Bloodbourne. They will then try to pump out a bunch of half baked AAA Marvel games and try to appeal to the Chinese market. Unless they make it big, they'll be hurting badly. Fate/Grand Order is really their only big cash grab at the moment. Meanwhile Nintendo will most likely roll out their new mystery tablet that's supposedly as strong as the PS4. They'll get all the niche games and other third party titles if they play their cards right.

So what's the plan? I can't imagine they're dumb enough as to think they can just make the competition worse and everyone will come flooding back.

Californian soy chuggers are in charge, I don't think anything they're doing is well thought out unless this is a plan to intentionally tank SIE to make it an easy selloff. Other than that this is some kind of twittertard SJW pandering, long term consequences be damned.

I don't think there's a big grand scheme in mind. In today's age, making region based games is simple. You can easily make a patch for a game in a certain region and affect none of the other regions for said game. So I don't think they're doing this to appeal to China. They don't need to mass censor games because they were never going to start selling them in China anyway. China wouldn't allow them. The censorship is inconsistent so there's clearly no guideline they're using. That's why I think this whole move isn't to appeal to China.

It all started back with Omega Labyrinth Z. Once that wasn't allowed to go gold, people knew something was up. For that instance, I think someone inside Sony had a personal grudge with the people at PQube and pulled some strings to block the game from release. We could be seeing a large scale version of that as more and more feminists and beta orbiters flood Sony. After making so much money, it looks as though the western division in San Fran is making all the calls. The way the CEO of Sony tried to defend it makes it sound like he was being fed bullshit. I mean the "We're appealing to a global market" and "Think of the children" nonsense.

We already know most of these SJWs are closely webbed together. Gamergate and Comicsgate has shown us this. The Cartoon Network and Disney quality drop happening around the same time as they hired a bunch of Tumblr artists shows this too. So they're in both Valve and Sony censoring and banning games. Why though? Most likely because they've always hated these type of games and anime shitposting was closely tied with Trump elections.

Of course, this is all just an idea that I thought of looking at everything we've been presented. I think this is just feminists ruining another company from the inside out. The male leads are too afraid to go against them or else they'll be #MeToo's next victim. They're too progressive now to simply fire all these leeches too. I don't think this western branch of Sony will last another decade. They haven't even made any good moves these past 5 years.

Compound that with the anti-consumer refund practices they perform with their online store purchases. PS4 is certainly the last console I am buying from Sony.

Really do hope small devs branch out of Playstation real soon as these changes are affecting their creative freedom.
