@LukeAlmighty agree. words alone don't mean much, especially when words are usually what got these companies issues in the first place. money talks.

the idea was to not let journos "win," but if your choice of adversary is a braindead journo vs the corporation who is actually making these changes, i don't really know what to tell you at that point. they're far more interested in the culture war against journalists (i.e. gamer gate 2) than they are against the actual companies who keep appeasing them and implementing these censorships and other changes.

there is also the issue that it's not easy to get refunds from playstation. steam is the gold standard for that kind of stuff, but i think playstation only lets you have like 1 refund every 5 years or something ridiculous like that.

i will give it to grummz though, he's apparently a big reason why classic WoW came back so he must have some sort of idea what he's doing.

i feel like it's pretty much a lost cause when it comes to stellar blade though, and the only way it's going to ever be "uncensored" again is if it comes out on PC and modders do it.
