If you're not interested in playing that game why do you care who sells it and who doesn't?
Because sometimes it is needed to protect people from their own stupidity. Or in this case, limit the access.

They can already go to the movie rental and get Human Centipede, Dexter and Freddie so if something bad were to happen to them it already would.

Maybe it does and maybe it does not. So far I didn't run into many cases of retarded censorship.
Have you looked at Australia and Germany, per chance?
I don't have a problem with Germany not allowing anything to do with Nazi. I have a bigger problem with USA allowing any kind of retard stuff that in the end results in cults that commit mass suicide and stuff. This is the kind of stuff I was talking about when people needed to be protected from themselves.
And before you mention it, political correctness is not censorship because people use free will to turn things into politically correct versions.
Political correctness is not censorship, but censorship is in most cases political correctness.
The definition for censorship goes as follows: "To "censor" is to review something and to choose to remove or hide parts of it that are considered unacceptable."
In the case of videogames, this usually includes nudity or swastikas. The developers can choose to censor it into a politically correct version so they can sell their game in Germany, but otherwise you can't sell your game there. Just because you have the option of censoring it in order to allow your game to be sold in certain countries, doesn't mean its not censorship.
Swastika is against the law in some places, it is not about political correctness when they are removed from a game.
It just means some retards should not have free use of their money and need someone with a brain to manage it for them.
With "some retards" in this case being "people who want to buy Hatred". Or in other words: "people who want to buy games I don't like". And who do you suppose should "manage" their money?
I was talking about the idiot that wasted his money to put a tag on my account. So many better ways to spend money.
I am having fun talking to people here, learning your little ways and funny expectations of the world to conform to your super niche views.
Allowing game developers to put sensitive subject material in their game, and expecting them to have the same creative freedom as literature, art and cinema do, is a super niche view?
This is a bad comparison. There is nothing artistic about Hatred. And I have same opinion about Mein Kampf no matter how "artistic" someone thinks it is.
It is like walking through a Zoo and watching so many caged animals thinking they own their little cage, acting all boss like not understanding their real role in the big world outside. So much fun. Keep going guys.

Even this little tag is a gift from one such animal that is left at the exit game of this Zoo.
Did you accidentally click the wrong tab? I think you meant to post this in r/christianity, not in The Codex.
Nope. I clicked on Zoo part of Codex. And now I am having fun with delusional caged animals.

They can already go to the movie rental and get Human Centipede, Dexter and Freddie so if something bad were to happen to them it already would.
Dexter does not murder random innocent civilians. He is a more brutal vigilante that happens to enjoy what he is doing similar to many comic book characters like Deadpool, Punisher or Daredevil.
Freddie is presented as a monster that murders innocents but the movies follow the innocents, not Freddy.
I don't know what Human Centipede is.

Yeah, I'm sure that these flimsy excuses will stop "retarded people" from harming themselves and other people. It's not like "being retarded" is all about not understanding such subtle nuances. Extra points for pretending that slasher movies are not watched by total losers in order to get sadistic pleasure from seeing popular people die. Perhaps we should also pretend that Hatred is a deep social commentary about American culture, this will surely help this discussion.

We already went over this in the 90s. Video games do not automatically incite violence, suicide, cults, diseases, trauma, hunger, world domination, rape, radioactive mutation, misogyny, kitten hoarding, paganism, square eyes, neckbeard growth, homosexuality, or a megalomania complex, contrary to popular belief. People don't necessarily need protection from violent videogames, as ratings exist and countless of reviews and news headlines on the internet exist. I don't see how changing the name of morphine to Med-X in Fallout 3 is supposed to protect anyone.

Swastika is against the law in some places, it is not about political correctness when they are removed from a game.
In the Netherlands it is both against the law and politically incorrect to proclaim "fuck the king". I doubt swastikas are politically correct either in any part of the world.

You're right. He could've spent more money for more tags!

This is a bad comparison. There is nothing artistic about Hatred. And I have same opinion about Mein Kampf no matter how "artistic" someone thinks it is.
We live in an age where an orchestra of screaming women is considered "art". What art is and isn't is incredibly subjective, but it usually involves the artist trying to express himself. In the case of Hatred, the devs think the modern vidya industry has become too soft, and wanted to cross that border (IMO). You can consider anything art, really. But just because something isn't (in your opinion) artistic enough, does not deny its right of existence. Mein Kampf was banned because it was a propaganda piece which influenced many Nazis. Do you see Hatred causing a fascist movement?

Nope. I clicked on Zoo part of Codex. And now I am having fun with delusional caged animals.
I wasn't aware of a secret RPGCodex furry ERP circlejerk section. Nothing better than a furry lecturing us on what's right in videogames and what's not.....

ArchAngel is a vile heretic. In ideal world vile game censorship loving animals like him would be shackled and thrown from roof of a 4 story building.

:retarded:
If you truly, truly believe that consuming media portraying violence leads to people going on killing sprees and joining cults like People's Temple, you're utterly fucking retarded. Or you're a very easy to manipulate person who believes other people are just as easily manipulated into doing bad things as you are. You see, normal people have a thing called common sense, as well as the ability to differentiate between reality and fiction. If you lack either of these, you have issues. And you have these issues whether you play genocide simulator games or not. Rather than trying to prevent normal people from consuming violent media, you should go see a shrink.

It just means some retards should not have free use of their money and need someone with a brain to manage it for them.

Wat. I'm an admin here, I don't have to pay a single cent to do stuff to other users.
And, regrettably, I wasn't paid by someone else to do it, either. That would be a cool idea though. Letting people bribe the admins to give some other poster a tag. Let's ask DarkUnderlord what he thinks of this idea. It might raise the Codex's income a bit and create a lot of drama! "Pay 15 bucks to get your most hated enemy a dumbfuck tag!" That sounds like a great business model to me.

Mein Kampf isn't "artistic" you fucking faggot it is merely the most important political testament of the 20th century and the foundation of the only ideology that can save our world from certain decline. I bet you haven't even read it. And of course a retard like you has to go "lol nazis are evil" without having even the slightest shred of understanding about national socialism.

The divine spirit of Adolf Hitler scoffs at your bullshit.

Hatred got banned from streaming on Twitch. They cited that because it got AO rating on ESRB, then it's banned. Funny thing? They source Polygon, not the official ESRB site where Hatred is nowhere to be seen.

http://www.esrb.org/ratings/search.jsp?rating=AO&ratingsCriteria=AO
It did actually get an AO rating from ESRB, though.

It's funny because mature rating is for 17+ while AO is for 18+. One year is too much for the, totally not just for kids, gaming industry.
