I can understand where the issue is coming from.

Google's been laying down the ban hammer, or restricting approvals for about a year now over some of the most nonsensical things imaginable. It's not even nudity ,or anywhere close to the kind of content of what we've seen from some of Sony's censorship, and Google just says no. Things like cleavage or too much leg being shown.

This censorship is scary. I'm an artist and a lot of my work is adult so seeing cleavage and bikinis censored is seriously concerning. I decided to finally take the plunge and get a gaming PC and just get away from consoles and mobile gaming.

So much of my inspiration came from game art (I even went to college for game art and design!) so it deeply saddens me to see so much hostility to even mildly sexy art in gaming.

It's most likely related to the ads.
Google is trying to "clean" their store in a attemp to make it more "advertiser friendly". They already did something similar in Youtube where they single out the gaming portion of the platform from ads.

Man is almost like mobile platforms are trash to navigate, aren't worth developing for and are filled with more shovelware than all other platforms combined. Whoda thunk it?

Good just release it on PC

Vits1739d ago

That is not good. Not for the consumers and definitely not for the developers. The consumers lose a way to play their games and the developer lose a source of revenue (12% of their total in this case).

Also most of their game are already on PC, a big chunk of their mobile offers were just ports from the PC.

We may have a man in mars on a decade, but show a half boob and everyone goes crazy, it's like a victorian society with advanced tech.

"the capital group of PCF Group S.A."

If you're getting funding from a group that needs two different ways of Acronyming itself, things will not go the way you want them to.

If it was more online-only crap then good riddance.

jjb19816h ago

Outriders was crap. They slapped that game together and threw in a loot system to get players' attention. This game was absolutely jank and the always online nonsense made it stutter like crazy. People Can't Optimize.

I liked Outriders but I could see where the artistic vision was compromised. The way the industry is now, it wouldn't surprise me that upper management would scrap something that didn't pull in money via gaas, mts, or other means.

Escape from Tarkov Unheard Edition Reneges on Promised Content Behind $250 Price Tag

The new Escape from Tarkov Unheard Edition has the community in an outrage after promising exclusive access to the new PvE mode for $250 USD.

Christopher20h ago

$250? Do they not know all the other games that already exist or will be made in the future that can do similar?

SimpleDad11h ago(Edited 11h ago)

This is for the hardcore people that have 2500 h in the game. They basically play that one game the whole year.
Oh and those same people are mad as hell at this... what a way to reward fans of your game and annihilate newcomers.
