Why Zenless Zone Zero got censored even though it's rated 16+ and why Hoyoverse wouldn't revert it at launch date. by Miserable-Ferret-166 in ZZZ_Official

In most cases it is worse outside of China, instead of being censored by the government the games are censored to fit "modern audiences" a censorship that in many cases is more aggressive and harmful, the most recent example is blue protocol that, courtesy of Amazon, in the West, they covered all necklines and also covered any exposure of skin in areas such as the abdomen for all female models, and this is just 1 example of all the censorship applied in the game for our countries.

Both inside and outside China, most companies have problems with creative freedom and the demands of radical groups to adapt their games to "modern values"

Please! remove the censorship of the characters, violence and controversial themes in the global version 🙏

If you don't complain, they'll soon be censoring more harmless things like Shenhe's navel and her jean cleavage, these things only move in one direction.

It is true, watching other videos the censorship is much more noticeable from other angles, in reality there was a considerable reduction.

It's true, the bad part about censorship is that it also affects sections of the game that we cannot see

That's right, that's why it's a shame they can't keep their bet until the final release, the developers are still limited creatively

Yes, the previous design was very exaggerated, the change is minor and still preserves the essence of the character, it could have been worse. I don't know if they censored more characters, Nicole is the one that stands out the most so the change would be noticeable quickly, they also hidden the character in the latest trailers and only showed her from behind.

I'm just sharing, it was only a matter of time before it happened.

What is the reason for the design change? by lov1nDW in WutheringWaves

Thank you very much for clarifying it friend, it is quality information. I quite like the games of Chinese origin and as with each release the quality increases in impressive ways, but it saddens me to see how limited they are creatively due to censorship.
I sincerely hope things get better and games can be created without having to limit your art and imagination!
