Here is the actual patch notes and rational from the devs. I just saved you about 6 clicks through a link labyrinth.

Even that doesn't have the important part: before and after images. And you just know that the only way to see that before and after is going to be a 25 minute youtube video by the worst personality on the internet.

I was thinking more like "THE WOKE MOB IS RUINING SKULLGIRLS!!" but those aren't mutually exclusive.

Gamers never fail to disappoint.

I never played, and have no big stake in this game. Still, it looks like most of the gamer comments I read are saying that it's taken forever for any update to come out and the only thing done was these small changes. I've never seen a community happy for altered content with no new content.

The removed content is (among other garbage) nazi imagery and a minor being sexually assaulted. Both of which appear within the first few minutes of gameplay.

Hope the context helps.

Depending on exactly how graphic the content shown is... I still kinda see both points. They made it, they made something they later claimed to feel remorseful over, but they're still keeping the money so they clearly don't feel that bad now do they?

Now that being said, it is a sign of maturing to be able to admit and even attempt to reconcile those mistakes, but at the end of the day it's either exploitative or it isn't. I kind of just think it's a case of ESH.

So cool they remove content just to make the game more marketable.
