Depends if you agree/disagree or care/don t care about said censorship.
It can be a good reason to not buy it of course, but people shouldn't just hear "censorship" and then whine without thinking.

As for my personal opinion on recents censorships, I didn t want to buy any of the games Nintendo censored, so I didn t care.
As for south park, I played the pc version without censorship, and frankly the scene they censored isn t a big change. It was supposed to make you laugh, but honestly, the message replacing the scene in the censored version is even funnier. So well.

People don t seem to understand that censure is not always censure. They are mainly compromises, a video game is not the work of one or two guy, you money, a lot of it, and the process itself is long, during that process a lot of "censure" will happen, most of the time its auto-censure. Its just how it is, it s a business, not pure artform.

It depends on what they're censoring. I'd say 98% of the time it wouldn't keep me from buying a game.

Thank you.

Neodegenerate. Report me for what? I attacked your post not you so what are you reporting? because you don't like it? Ok then whatever. Again there is a difference.

As a general rule, no, but if the censorship goes so far as to make changes that ruin important characters or remove what I consider to be vital gameplay mechanics, then it might get a boycott from me.

1. I agree on the fact that it can be one or the other depending on the sitaution.  However, I am specifically talking about situations where it isn't necessary.  Like the large breasted clearly old enough girls in the M rated Criminal Girls series. 

2.  We live in a global economy, I don't consider myself "lucky" to receive products that are created outside of my country.

3. Nowhere did I say I got upset about anything.  I am making a choice to play the game without paying for it as a way to tell the developers/decision makers that I am not OK with unnecessary censorship in my games.  It has actually taken more time and energy to respond in this thread than it has to think about the censorship thing outside of it in the past like 4 years.

You can spit out all the exceptions to the censorship that point to localization all you want.  It is a weak defense for unnecessary censorship either way.

No, s/he would just be uncomfortable and walk away while looking at you weirdly.

Touche  

Actually I'd be lucky not to get a spray of mace in the face.

To me no, but I can understand if it is for anyone else.

Localization changes a lot of things. Not every place has the same general cultures and beliefs

If you are gonna say I am "petty and spoiled" (attacks on me, not my post) because of how I choose to spend my money then yes I am going to report you for it.  You don't want to be reported?  Don't go casting aspersions on people.
