Final Fantasy VII dev reveals the remake might be censored.

"Back then, the social climate was different, so we'll have to be careful with how we remake certain events." "Like the Honeybee Inn. (laughs)"

Awful trend. Appeasing those that don't evem buy/play games.

Here they are in 2014 saying "We want to stay in that $200-$400 range"

Maybe they meant $200+$400.

Ridiculous.

TigerDirect just had a deal on Gigabyte-brand for around $240. They're pretty loud though. Out of stock now.

I'll keep an eye out, I see them pop up every so often.

follow the new posts on /r/buildapcsales, it's most likely to show up there.

Blade & Soul just released here in the West. It's an anime-style MMORPG from what I can tell. Created by NCSoft back in 2012, initially released in Japan. I believe it's Free to Play, as well... might check it out.

Also, looks like Twitch, the streaming service... has preemptively banned "Yandere Simulator" from being played on it's website. The site is pretty clear that games heavily tied to nudity are not allowed... but Yandere Sim has none. Brings up ethical questions about why the service would ban the game with no explanation to the game's creator:

And finally, Hideo Kojima has teased a new "HideoTube" video series.... interesting, interesting.

I've mostly been playing League of Legends (PC) lately. If anyone else plays, I am "spicey cajun" on there.

I give a thumbs up to Rainbow Six Siege on Xbox One as well. I play that casually as well.

Been spending most of my time in Armored Warfare lately... Going to check out Blade & Soul though...

If you follow Steam curators, you might give these two a shot. These monitor for games that have been censored... such as removed content, modified scenes, etc.
