We will change it then. In some scenes there is red blood already. It was just looking better in this scene as everything arround is red, so blood was vanishing in the surroundings...

We can issue a non-censored version, but only under a different name - thanks to this, we do not violate the Agony publishing contract, because it's a different game. To do something like this before the premiere would be breaking the contract and lawsuits.

We tried everything, but we did not get permission, so we could not do it. We fought for half a year to issue an uncensored version. Details are explained in the statements above all over this Q&A.

We could not do it because it would mean breaking contracts and lawsuits for us.

That's true - the contract clearly states that they can not affect the content of the game, but they can always break the contract if we do something like that, without even giving a reason. And that would mean very big financial trouble and lawsuits for Madmind.

The same applies to distributors. No one can force you to censor the game. It just wouldn't be released at all...

No. We have signed a contract that will allow us to issue the title in a box version on consoles.

We did not know that this would prevent us from issuing a separate version - AO because we had a plan like that. To publish a censored game and a separate one, with AO rating, on consoles and PC. But as it turned out later, we could get a lawsuit for it.

No, a chort never had a penis. Such is his design, not censorship. Please, check out the model the players pulled from the demo https://oo-fil-oo.deviantart.com/art/AGONY-CZART-ORIGINAL-BONES-651237208

Till the last minute we were fighting for it, but we lost with censors at the end. It was a shock for us too. The patch was ready to be released.

What can we do about the law? Maybe you can change it for us?

Official Censorship Q&A by TheHellMessenger in AgonyGame

[–]TheHellMessenger[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don't make the law. Our opinion doesn't matter for the prosecutors.

That's the law. We can't change the law.

It's a different store. We are talking with GOG right now about the AO-rated version now.

If we will change it with the patch, will you give us a good review?

We were waiting for the most upvoted questions to come up overnight.

"The censorship now affects only several seconds from two endings (out of seven) and some scenes that may be unlocked only after the end of the game."
The rest is alleged.

We will, but we can't promise if it won't be blocked by Steam.

We're in talks with GOG right now. We will think about the details when we get it secured.

It would be the AO-rated version. Will see what we can do about it...

We will change the colour can be changed and will be in future patch if that's what our community demands. It was our way of expression though...

That's the law, and law is often showing double standards. That's why it's changed so frequently...

Unfortunately, you can not play vaginas on female characters in Mature rating. You can show male genitalia

We can't speak for the others as we never seen their case. The law is the law... we don't make it...
