So with new Dutch and Belgian laws, to release an online game you need to fill a lot of paperwork so smaller games even without loot boxes wouldn't put effort to release their games in that region.
So here giga r-slurred example: Lollipop Chainsaw remaster. Came out on 12 September and pre orders were available. In Dutch store nothing no preorders no release then on 25 September it drops out. On Belgium store it dropped out on 3rd October. Like why would we need EU standards and etc if countries can reject them and create their own standards. So what online did Lollipop Chainsaw have leaderboard. So Dutch localisation needed 2 weeks (game had preorder early access) to determine if the game was safe and Belgian minister even longer
Like I understand if Germany would do it devs would care or if France or for frick sake Canada but Belgium and Netherlands
With Lollipop Chainsaw it wasn't big deal since game was mostly offline so I just get germ version.
But some games require always online connections. In the past it wasn't an problem but new rule made that before a game comes out officially devs need to ban accounts from those countries from connecting to the services of the game and for PlayStation there is stricter rules that to release on Apple Store. Because omagat save the kids. Local kids are momo, fatima, erkan, adja and ivan (he is refugee from Ukraine)
You can create an account from other country but why would I create a new account ?

So Sony wouldn't update their services and infrastructure and use infrastructure from 2001 despite the massive hacks it had and waste 300 millions on game it throw away in one week.
But games without even loot boxes being banned just because they didn't wanted to deal with paperwork is hilarious

The happy Swedes decided to cap off a month where every day had a bomb attack or jihadi execution with a mass shooting 
Motive currently unknown
https://apnews.com/article/sweden-shooting-adult-education-center-6be99a59fa3404ae296589e60c881f6c
About 10 people, including the gunman, were killed on Tuesday at an adult education center in what Sweden's prime minister called the country's worst mass shooting. But a final death toll, a conclusive number of wounded and a motive hadn't yet been determined hours later.
Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson gave a news conference in the aftermath of the tragedy, which happened on the outskirts of Orebro. The city is located about 200 kilometers (125 miles) west of Stockholm.
The school, called Campus Risbergska, serves students over age 20, according to its website. Primary and upper secondary school courses are offered, as well as Swedish classes for immigrants, vocational training and programs for people with intellectual disabilities.
"Today, we have witnessed brutal, deadly violence against completely innocent people," Kristersson told reporters in Stockholm. "This is the worst mass shooting in Swedish history. Many questions remain unanswered, and I cannot provide those answers either.
"But the time will come when we will know what happened, how it could occur, and what motives may have been behind it. Let us not speculate," he said.
Gun violence at schools is very rare in Sweden. But there have been several incidents in recent years in which people were wounded or killed with other weapons such as knives or axes.
Justice Minister Gunnar Strömmer called the shooting "an event that shakes our entire society to its core."
While Swedes read about such violence in other places, Strömmer said that the country previously felt it wouldn't happen there. Other tragedies in Swedish schools weren't to the extent of Tuesday's attack, he said, calling it "indescribably sad" for the community.

I clearly cracked a joke about the fact that it was kind of a boring weekend, but I never expected her to reply like this

How sad is it that I, a sperg who irregularly uploads mainly audio only content of niche rdrama schizos and obtuse political satire, has garnered more subs than a guy who uploads daily normieslop raccoon and car videos from his house that his dead cuck father begrudgingly gave him so he wouldn't kill himself and join his fiance in the afterlife?
I guess that argument for not coming on and debating pizzaking has crumbled. Any guesses on the next cope?
and
ing hard since they realized that Trad Christian grifters are not on the same side of the tranime waifu fanservice enjoyers!

People really need to stop making heroes out of online personalties. You'd have thought they'd have learned their lesson from pointless celebrity worship.
Ideologically motivated moralists suck no matter what their political leanings. It's why I can't stand Matt Walsh even though he attacks stupid shit.
I fricking hate moral grandstanders. LET DEVS MAKE WHAT THEY WANT TO MAKE!
but please Mr. KiNeurodivergent, no loliBIPOCshit! 
"Only my freedom is the correct freedom, you degenerate bigot!"
That was fast. The pendulum just started swinging back and they're already grifting on the other end.
If you love games, if you love artistic freedom, then you do not have allies on the "left" or the "right". Regardless of what they say, they all have ulterior motives.
I'm an independent, and always have been since I first registered to vote, and this weird, sudden heelturn of those who supposedly pushed for freedom of speech proves why I never considered myself a conservative even if they had (temporarily) agreed with me.
If you push for censorship, you are my enemy. Simple as that.
Speaking as an open-and-out reactionary, the single greatest enemy to any postwar right wing movement has been that conservatives are placed in charge of them to make sure they never get anywhere.
I mean a lot of conservatives…ya know…hate porn and hate half naked women showing their body in media. If they're conservative this really isn't shocking or surprising. It's just their beliefs.
Wait, Pastor Bubba Muttison (R) doesn't likes my loli tranime hentai game?, I thought that we were friends because we both hated Woke Commies?!, he doesn't thinks that Japanese cartoon porn is going to save Western civilization and the White race from Globohomo Marxists?! 
Thats why its so cringe to see these prude leftists nowadays, complaining about a 5 pixel boob window; Theyre acting exactly like the conservatives that they claim to hate so much. They have so many bad things in common.
For us who grew up in the 90s(and i guess 80s too) its like a flashback. They're all the same shits, trying to ruin entertainment and true art, by deciding what is or isnt allowed.
I never had any issue with either of them until they started acting like peepees, destroying my entertainment and telling us we are whatever bad thing they can think of, just cause we dont agree 100% with them.
prepare to switch attacking Woke SJWs to the Evangelical "Catholics" in the past four years, soldier of autism!
Yes Razorfist has chosen to destroy his credibility with his defending of Melonie Mac because she quotes scripture to deflect what's wrong. Heck he recently jumped down Act Man's throat saying he doesn't want Twerking in M-Rated games. I know Act Man is hated here but this response by Razor is just garbage. By the way if you attack Melonie Mac you're a Chinese shill and an agent of the CCP now according to Razor's recent livestream.
The rest are extremely simple to explain to be dismissed. Jon Del Arroz is a wife beater. The Quartering is a grifter. John F. Trent has been mask off for several years now and there's a reason he left Bounding into Comics and went to That Park Place now (I still don't like WDW Pro having him on his staff). Aristocratic Utensil doesn't believe in free speech at all because it gives the plebs a voice and is a Monarchist who fled his home country of South Africa.
I'm pretty disappointed by Razörfist. He's a metalhead, and fan of actually Satanic Black Metal too. He knows his BS about the Satanic Panic not being real is BS.
He has embraced religion i heard.
Trends bud, trends, hence why Norse Pagan aesthetic is all but dead in Neo-Nazi circles outside of Black Metal and prison gangs, and the Trvthnuke-dropping Fundie-obliterating Scientific Atheists are dead outside of reddit, in 2025, being a Trad Christian Fundamentalist is the counterculture and edgy fandom in modern Westoid culture.
A while ago. You can tell when he changed his sign off from, 'God fricking speed!" to "Godspeed!" He also compared his own life to Alice Cooper's a lot in his Alice Cooper Metal Mythos.
Are you surprised? Back in the 90s the conservetives (
) were the ones pushing censorship.
Now that the pendulum is swinging to the right prepare yourself to fight againts the moral busybodys of the right, the fight against censorship and authoritarianists never ends.
So, you know how, as we used to say, 'SJW's always eat their own'?
One of the reason a group starts cannibalizing itself over internal disagreements is because it perceives its external threats as defeated. Part of the reason SJW's were so eager to tear into themselves was because they correctly assessed themselves as being in control of the political climate.
Well, now Trump has won a second term and woke is being declared dead in the news media, these people have decided that now their team is in power, they don't need a bunch of weirdo nerds like us anymore.
Personally, I don't think the wokes are anywhere near as defeated as these guys think they are. We could easily have the democrats win again come 2028, and if they do, it will again be largely through the same coalition of women and 'brown' people.
Don't argue with them. I suggest just turning your back on all of these people. Every voice that opposes your ideas, suffocate it. Deny it the oxygen of your engagement. They've decided they don't need you, so respond in kind. You don't need them.
I just wish someone could explain to me what sort of dumb do you have to be to fall for the ol "I'm a christian!" shtick from a tattooed divorcee hypocritical E-Girl with 3-4 chockers on, wearing nothing but revealing clothing with a blow up lara croft in her background, pretending to be a teen. (:autism;:)
Like. Can we get the iq of these people and plot a graph? I have some theories I'd like to test.
she used to be a zealot FOR lgbt crap, now she moralizes while skimpy dressed
!g*mers !grillers !r-slurs !accelerationists
The very definition of a grifter.
I also think she genuinely feels threatened that video game women are leagues hotter than she is.
No matter the ideology, country, race, or religion, foids will always be foids 
I have no problem with people having tastes but that tolerance ends where they start trying to dictate what I can and can't enjoy.
Mac called games like First Descendent soft porn, while also making posts calling for banning all porn.
These guys are playing the same game that progressives played where they claim they aren't trying to get anything banned or censored, they are just criticising it but as soon as they got into a position where they could implement their ideology they started censoring things.
One of this subs core values is anti censorship. Anyone be it left or right that wants censorship is someone this sub opposes.
And to end this thread, here is a schizokino:
These guys are playing the same game that progressives played where they claim they aren't trying to get anything banned or censored
I think you're seeing monsters under the bed that don't exist.
Are they calling around to people's employers to try to get them fired, people's spouses to try to stir shit in a relationship, etc etc etc.?
That's the game progressives have been playing for the past decade+. If you're going to claim the other side is doing it in regards to these games, you're going to need more than vague accusations. I want to see direct calls to action.
What I see, in general, is people leaving a critique, and this thread seeming to be focusing into some kind of groupthink situation.
Basically it seems as if people can't criticize something they don't like. We've now got this affirmation only culture thing going on here?
Purity spirals weren't on the menu.
Make called games like First Descendent soft porn, while also making posts calling for banning all porn.
This is a bit of connecting the dots, a bit of a reach. I don't know how else to say it. You're associating two different statements said at different times.
Are they saying that First Descendent needs banned? This is a yes / no question. You are not a mind reader, like a lot of progressives, you don't get to lecture everyone else on "What they really mean, because they made this other tweet while taking a shit one day, trust me bro".
Because I'm not seeing it.
Bring some concrete evidence where they want to ban jiggle physics, ban Bayonetta, TFD, etc etc etc. If you're going to be associating dispsarate tweets that may even be hyperbole or satire or pointed or figurative....this is all I can see.
One of this subs core values is anti censorship.
In games, sure. I haven't seen anyone call for censorship that's relevant to the sub's interest.
Actual porn? That's already censored. There's an age requirement(both to participate in making as well as obtain the content). It's not in schools, not in broadcast or allowed at certain times of day, etc etc etc.
I would think porn, whether you want it or don't, would be more of a political issue than topical here. If we can start sharing links to porn, talking about porn, critiquing, discussing porn content creators extensively, etc, this place is going to start looking very different.
If we're shifting KIA to be about defending all porn, because muh censorship, you might want to make a sticky about it.
I mean, the sidebar does say pretty clearly:
KotakuInAction is the main hub for G*merGate on Reddit and welcomes discussion of community, industry, and media issues in gaming and broader nerd culture, including sci-fi/fantasy, comics, and animation.
I don't see porn there, funny.
Also, we're against censorship, but here we are saying people can't be against porn, or against "fan service" games in general.
I think you might want to go over this, with all of the mods, because that's a pretty large paradigm shift for this sub.
That's just me expressing an opinion. I'm not saying you can't make the sub inherently pro-porn, I'm not trying to stop you.
People can have various opinions, and if we can't tolerate some, we're no better than progressives.
It's a bit weird to see people get triggered over a couple very specific terms like "degenerate" and then also talk about how bad of allies they were(OP in this instance).
If anyone's behaving like progressives, it's OP and some others in this thread. Some people could do with a mirror.
Again, for the people in the back.
I'm not saying this because I have something against porn, or against these types of games. I don't want anything banned as long as things are otherwise legal(ban CP, for example).
There's room for everything, effectively, there is not finite space in game developement. If you like TFD, you can play TFD.
Similarly, if I don't want to, I don't have to, because there are other games out there.
Build it and they will come. Anything can find some fans.
That's not going to stop me from looking down on someone that may be a bit on the obsessive side.
Are we going to start adding to pronouns or orientations? Are we mandatorily going to have to affirm Waifusexuals or have it be requisite that we start calling all who disagree AnimePillowPhobes? Man, I can't stand those hateful divisive people!
I would just like to know the real rules here.
Edit: All questions here rhetorical, as in meant to make people think.
The sub seems to be having an identity crisis. I've explained about as much as I have patience for in several posts in this comments section and/or this comment chain. I can only lead the horse to water, I can't make it drink.
OP looks like a witch hunt, despite coy denials of being such, and is political in nature somewhat, and would seem to imply false or unsupported allegations of demands for censorship of games.....all in an overblown reaction to some youtube personalities they don't agree with.
To me, this sounds like it breaks several sub rules. But it's okay, because apparently a mod agrees.
Whatever. Wouldn't be the first time this sub has had a self created existential crisis and seen significant upheaval, and it won't be the last.

Years ago I ripped the DKD soundtrack off YouTube by searching various things + also took requests from people here and then I renamed the files to basic, ordered numbers because that seemed to make the most sense. You can see this here:
https://fsdfsd.net/MarseyWorld/MarseyWorld/src/branch/master/files/assets/events/DKD/music
However
I want to add the Now Playing to the bottom of the page, a really small footer with a cute lil equalizer graphic or something beside it. This will apply to all holigays. But it's DKD right now so let's tackle that.
Identify the tracks, include a link to the youtube video it came from to prove you're not full of shit. 500
per track identified. Obviously tell me which file the link corresponds to.
Do as many or as few as you want, some are actually really easy like the fricking DKC Funky's Flights theme.
Be first or be broke.
Thank you me because this is all happening as I have had a tab open since yesterday morning with some sort of Kong remix playing and I need to know what it is because it's SO GOOD.
