      It would give it away that they censored, Sony wanted it to look like shift up made those creative decisions
      For example we know 7/ plus ng+ variants that's 14 outfits were censored. And the physical disc had some censored outfits already like black pearl & ocean maid or whatever they show what it looks like when they get unlock but u get the censor version instead. Cybernetic bondage isn't supposed to have that piece of fabric covering her stomach , it's bare in the trailer , when the day one patch came it added more fabric to cover the breast indicating it was censored twice like moutan peony(chunlee dress)
      In tutorial it bare legs , version I get looks like shift was was goin to make it high thigh socks or stocking but Sony disaproved and made em turn it into tights looks stupid imo cause u can see toe two black lines that show it was stocking or whatever. Hints why Sony made them add ng+ after launch so they can sneak in more censorship , that's why on there page they just talking about what is added n not taken

    FOR ANYONE ON DISC: You cann avoid the censorship by turning off the internet on your ps5.
    Additional; you can go to SETTINGS, SAVED DATA/GAME APPS and AUTOMATIC UPDATES to turn off game updates. So it doesn't install. Then just leave the game with the update paused in the background. But the second you close the game completely (or power off) itll force the update or the game wont run.
    If you're upset as I, email sony and shift up. Be respectful they're just people at the end of the day, but let them know how you feel. If one side can cry and get their way, so can we. At least we pay for things.

      That’s too much work. I mean tons of game companies struggle to make single changes in the game without the game breaking on them. I’m not a game dev (yet) but from what I understand and also from playing a crazy amount of games, especially online cuz of how sensitive it is, but even I understand to make certain changes in a game, especially if it’s done cuz right now the hypocrites want stellar blade to be censored, a finished game, but to do that would undo so much work just to appease the hypocrites. Even if you started that feature from day one, that’s a ton of work to toggle a censored version and an uncensored version. And I swear if you say moderate can do it, modern don’t have to do all that massive work to make the game. Modders use what’s available and make changes but it breaks and they keep doing it over and over, using up a lot of time until it’s working. And even then they give you warnings about the mod possibly breaking the game. Making those kinda of changes can break the game. Key words here.
      Ps I’m not fighting you, I’m mostly writing for any idtiot who wants to fight my comment and try to be smart when they are dumb. I’m trying to cover as much bases here but that’s hard when there are too much to cover and require a videos worth of info.

    Art should be uncompromising.
    People can disagree about what is objectifying or empowering, it’s subjective: people will feel certain ways because of their life experiences and whatnot. This is fine. What is not fine is people who want to control other’s visions and act as if they have moral authority to justify their censorship. Censorship is harmful because it’s anti free speech and expression. They can say it’s just a little thing, no big deal, but that is just hand waving to dismiss their problematic views and actions.
    Also, the HARD R controversy was effin stupid. Some people had a knee jerk reaction to their false pattern recognition and thought there was a problem that was clearly not there. That’s entirely their issue and the game shouldn’t have been changed to accommodate this non issue. It should have been left in as a message to people to tell them how irrational they were being.

    It's not the extent of Sony censorship, it's what they are censoring. It's that the censorship goes in one direction. Developers that push "the message" can create and sell what they want to. Developers that cater to traditional gaming audiences get the censor hammer. A large part of Stellar Blades success was people wanting to support a developer standing up to the censorship machine. Who knows what kind of pressure these devs face from the Sony censor goons behind the scenes and what games don't even make it beyond the conception stage nowadays.

    I don’t intend to be rude or disingenuous but I know some will take it that way.
    This is a non issue. The top changes very little and it’s already been shared the video of the director of the game saying that the decision to implement it was between him and the team.
    I get censorship on certain things but this is so insignificant that I can’t believe grown ppl are losing their minds over it.
    I’m not on “game journos’” sides or “gamers” side, cuz I think every side to this whole discourse has been genuinely been cringe.
    Characters and games can be whatever the creator wants them to be; hot, ugly, fat, skinny, able bodied, disabled, whatever. This “censorship” which it isn’t because it changes nothing, is a non issue.
    And for those of you who ask “if it’s not an issue than why change it?” I agree. I can’t answer that cuz I don’t work for shift up and I find it odd too. But what’s done is done. They made their decision. They made the game. Keep it pushing.

Also why censor this game when it’s rated M for mature Sony advertise this game as a uncensored game globally yet censored the game that’s false advertising & is the bigger picture I don’t really care that know you can’t see much cleavage on the certain outfit but if Sony gonna censor PS platform is gonna continue to loose players switching to PC & Nintendo. Sony censorship is starting to get a lil to much I could understand if Stellar blade was rated T but it’s rated M fr get a grip it also comes from a studio that makes a bunch of fan service games so again why sign a exclusive deal to water down the game
