I looked ESG up but nothing showed up how it influences a significant amount of modern video games. Do you have a comprehensive write-up about it with trustworthy sources?
>By carrying out localization concurrently with development, rather than following completion of the Japanese language version as had been done in the past, Capcom is able to launch games simultaneously around the globe. What is more, depending on the country, simply translating games developed under Japanese norms can end up hurting users unexpectedly due to historical, religious, or cultural differences.
According to the horse's mouth it's ~just~ about localization. The slides are a lot more extreme than that, but if that's bad enough, talk with your wallet. There's not really much more than either of us can do about it. On a brighter note, the Monster Hunter World/Rise girls seemed pretty cute to me :blobcathappy:
>According to the horse's mouth it's ~just~ about localization.
"Capcom's localization team is involved in game development from the initial stages."
The localization directly alters the material at the source now, so even if you've taken the time to learn Japanese you cannot avoid the censorship with newer games anymore. They're not simply censoring everything for the overseas release, they're straight up telling the devs "no, we can't put this in" from the get-go, so that they don't have to censor it later.
>The slides are a lot more extreme than that, but if that's bad enough, talk with your wallet.
I do, and I mean I'll gladly keep playing older games, plenty of those I have yet to play (and replay in Japanese this time). But the problem is that these companies are backed by ESG money. I'll keep not buying them, but in this case "voting with your vallet" doesn't really have a big enough impact.
Anyway, modern gaming can rot in hell for all I care, but pretending that all this is not happening is just stupid.
@mario@Pawlicker@prouddegenerate@RehnSturm256 >And the Devs are seemingly okay with it, so I don't see a problem with it. If they weren't they could leave and peruse their artistic endeavors in a less restrictive environment.
If you don't see a problem with creators being forced to self-censor then idk what to tell you. I do agree that going along with it is spineless though.
>I don't see anything you can do which has bigger impact. Maybe if you were to open your own game studio with blackjack and hookers maybe, but are you working towards that?
Yeah, that's easier said than done. Either way, I wanna play games, not make games. I'm not saying that "people should just give up because it's pointless". I am doing what I can, no matter how little the impact is, by not supporting this shit and instead supporting games that don't cater to all this shit. But as I've said before, the problem is the ESG money they get for doing this shit.
>Crying on fedi def has less impact than your purchase decisions Don't worry, I just saw a thread that picqued my interest, I don't do this constantly. But I guess explaining precisely what is going on and trying to convince others of it is just "pointless crying on fedi"
>This all being? You've said multiple times before that you don't see this uglification and forced diversity happening.
