I have to ask why they care. Is there a feeling that this "backlash" on the third entry in a series will be so severe as to damage the company and sales? Or is it they feel so uncomfortable as to deal with "heat" from these groups?
If it is the former then I don't see it as none of these people were going to buy it and the audience is there.
If it is the latter then a real shame to see it happen. I really don't get a society that is fine with murder on mass scale, but finds sex or the human form so disgusting as to be offended by it.
I am really disappointed in Tecmo-Koei as someone who has bought dozens of titles from them this is a dark day to cave to the demands of groups like these.
