Twitch also has that rule for streamers.

Reminds me of the days before Bailey Jay transitioned and got in trouble for showing her breasts while waiting in line at Comicon and then protested "but I'm a boy."

And encouraged, as featured in Nintendo's own Super Mario Odyssey!

I recently published my novel, and at the last minute I had this panic about what was appropriate. There's one bigoted character who calls gay people "f***ot" multiple times, as well as many characters that drop F-bombs on numerous occasions. There's a (semi-magical) event similar to a mass shooting, many references to torture, and someone's hand is chopped off. To be really safe, I put a content warning on the first page just to make some of that clear. Surely, that puts it a level beyond the Young Adult region, right? But...possibly not, given what I tend to hear offhand of some series.

Those cartoons on Hentai Haven and Pornhub aren't for kids.

Not really. Have violence without blood and they'll rate it teen. Anything close to nudity instant mature rating. Same with searing. Can gun down hundreds if no blood but if they use naughty language while doing it mature /:

This. It's okay to be risque as long as the Disney/Apple crowd doesn't catch wind of it.

As soon as they get on board, it's all over and time to jump ship.

It's still surprising that Sony is apparently being more lenient than Nintendo for once.

To be fair, the only real memory I have of the OG God of War games is that the first or second game opens up with Kratos motorboating two girls' titties. And that was in a time when nudity in mainstream games was still nearly unheard of.

I think this is very likely the reason yea.

I'm also now finding out that they had to censor the coverart of the switch 2 edition a few weeks ago as well which I was unaware of. If it turns out they knew for awhile that it would be censored, and just chose not to tell anyone that is going to permanently damper my opinion of their studio. Like it's one thing to be like "This was forced upon us last minute so we threw a solution together" it's a whole different situation of knowing that it was going to happen, then refusing to tell the consumers about it since you knew it would lower sales.

Along with that, we asked for comment from AdHoc concerning the decision to censor Dispatch’s Deluxe Edition artwork on the Nintendo eShop as compared to the PC/PS5 release, and if that indicated any censorship in the game itself. We were told that “unfortunately, the studio cannot comment on the topic at this time.” Along with that, it was said that if AdHoc is able to discuss the matter down the road, their comment would be shared with us.

It sounds to me like they knew this change was going to be required at that point, but didn't want to publicly announce that, which puts a pretty bad taste in my mouth about the intent of the studio.
