No. It's the publisher's fixation on profit margins. They only want the most profitable of products. It's greed.
From the article: "The dramatic decrease in gaming hardware revenue matches Microsoft's recent report stating that Xbox hardware sales decreased by 31% year-over-year."
***@Christopher they promoted it as uncensored, sold it uncensored, then censored it. These are all facts.***
Got proof of that first 'fact' there?
Let alone, and again to ask, if someone on the internet had not told you about this, would have known at all?
It came out over 6 months ago and most of its income now is MTX. Not surprising IMHO.
These are advertisements from the owners and their sites. These help pay for the site costs. I'm also not a fan of them, but the alternative is even more invasive ads on every page of the site.
***@Christopher no no no my friend, you don't get to shift your position like that.
You said I didn't know it was supposed to be a certain way, I proved it wa***
Umm, no no no to you.
You were supposed to prove you knew that the outfit looked a specific way before you purchased it. You completely side stepped that and made it about a game getting updates after launch, which edits content that was originally downloaded or on the disc. I me...
*** They have sold me a product then tampered with it. ***
Yeah, just FYI, you agree to that before you even start the game. So, you know, stop being an uninformed gamer. They literally tell you they will make updates like this. You should have returned the game as soon as you had to agree to that.
*** I bought a product I want that product, unadulterated as advertised. That is all. ***
If you can prove you knew about this specific skin prior to purchase, then I'll give you a point. Until then, you bought a product w/o being informed on the graphical choices throughout and are throwing a hissy fit because the developers, no one else, made slight modifications to one of many 'sexy' skin options that don't at all affect the game, its gameplay, its story,...
You asking for an Ubisoft crossover w/Manor Lords?
Please. They'll complain about this for years to come. They've already blamed some imaginary group of people who wanted this one lewd element changed apparently but none of the plethora of other lewd elements (meaning, this was an internal decision, not a complaint), so they've set themselves up to blame imaginary people for their inability to see cleavage on this one outfit versus all the others.

Annual flu shots still use it and there is no 'pretending otherwise' on its safety.
So, an inconsequential element to the 'product' was altered for solely visual reasons and that ruins, let alone in any way changes, the 'actual' product? Amazing logic here.
Been like this for a decade now. Not really big news here.
You do realize that much of these changes like this aren't to appease the sensitive media, it's about the ratings boards.
$250? Do they not know all the other games that already exist or will be made in the future that can do similar?
I mean, it's at least something. It's 'good' news compared to the alternative. Not darth's fault even.
Also, I highly believe this will get fixed. PR nightmare if they don't since the PS store doesn't differentiate/have different text for those with or without the PS+/PS Collection version.
While I kind of get the author's take (I don't think it belongs as part of the overall review tbh, just make an opinion piece about the design choices that don't affect the overall gameplay and aren't, as the author points out, even poorly characterized in the game itself but are just there), seems weird to spend a lot of time discussing something that can be solved by just choosing an outfit that suits how you would want to see your character.
Even in the s...
Why would anyone downvote this? Don't be silly. This is great news. Thanks for sharing, darthv72.
There are regions where people have to create PSN accounts in different regions and with different addresses to do this, which is technically against PSN TOS. It's just weird.
I do agree that it has become pretty common, including EA, Ubisoft, and more having similar requirements. But it is still annoying.
