![]() ![]() There is no sex in the game whatsoever, nor any explicit sexual material. In the scene, a girls hand is restrained, she is lying on the floor, and her panties are visible. The offending content? One screen which containted too many reminders of "sexual assault" for Europe's poor little brains to handle. Reluctantly I would imagine, the game has since been taken down. No dice said MS, take it down or we'll remove it ourselves and ban you from the service. Given a warning that he should remove the game voluntarily, the creator asked Microsoft if there was any way he could remove the content just from Europe. ![]() Microsoft Europe? What? Yeah, the story gets even weirder too. Though as a side note, the image that is included for the scene is essentially the same image used when a crime drame has a rape scene (it usually gets that far then cuts to afterwords or the next said: " A visual novel up on Xbox LIVE Indie Games for 240 msp out of Japan has been removed by Microsoft after a complaint from. I dont particularely want to play games that feature the rape of someone, though in all honesly the idea of a visual novel entitled "And Yet, I Love You" seems kind of appealing, but I at least want that choice as a consumer to have a story with a rape in it and as a creator, or for the creators, I want the choice of including rape into a story because I can be powerful. I hate this crap, in a fictional piece of media why cant I see something reminds you of sexual assault? You can see someone get completely eviscerated yet apparently a pair of panties a hand on a hand is offensive? Its one thing that you might want to "protect the kids" because your (in my opinion) overprotective but why cant I, as an adult, see that? In fictional media (for example books, film and games) I/you can murder people, whole nations or universe's, have sex with hookers and rape people but a pair of panties and a hand that looks like it might be putting some pressure on to a single arm is too much? A logical and perfectly reasonable request, no?) Honestly, the whole service has taken a knock from this in my eyes, having to adhere to invisible restrictions that can be invoked with just a few complaints from someone half way around the world? No fucking thank you. So, now that Indie Games are open to all (most) regions, it means that they must all adhere to every regions restrictions? Ok, that might be fine I guess, but what about when those restrictions are ambiguous "reminders of sexual assault" wtf, non-existant (these are not published anywhere at all, officially there are no restrictions, that's what the vetting process is for, to work out whether or not the game is appropriate) and inflexible (the guy asked very politely if it could just be removed from Europe. ![]() A visual novel up on Xbox LIVE Indie Games for 240 msp out of Japan has been removed by Microsoft after a complaint from. ![]()
