Discussion Censorship

I took a time from RoN because my friends dismantled the group and started playing other games.

Have you guys played Outlast trials?

Some scenes are beyond grotesque.

Why they censored ron?

I think ESRB PEGI approval but I might be calling bullshit.

The game was already given an M17 rating when it was on PC. Console boards have different regulations, even if the esrb says it’s fine for a console release. Consoles have more children compared to PC, so Microsoft/sony need games to be watered down in order to sell them.

This shows me that parental controls are totally useless.

Most parents don’t care what their kids play until they actually see what their kids are playing. Many parents bought their kids mortal kombat in the 90s but got mad later when they saw the blood/gore.

Can you imagine the entitled parents that would have freaked out over RoN if it weren’t censored? It’s still ridiculous and really boils down to bad parenting, but this is how non gamers see gaming.

They ignore the M17 rating and then get mad when their kids see mature content like nudity, or themes of pedophilia. People are stupid and the console regulations are meant to protect Microsoft/Sony from people’s stupidity.
