lol this feels even more offensive to Native Americans imo, by replacing the natives with cowboys. And what about Europe and PAL regions its not an issue here? Why get european taste constantley butched together with the american?

You silly English people have no idea what censorship is. Censorship is when something is blocked by a government for being obscene. This is localization, or the editing of a game to make it better appeal to the foreign target audience.

Censoring is not exclusively done by governments. 

censorship

/ˈsensərSHip/

 

noun

  • 1.the suppression or prohibition of any parts of books, films, news, etc. that are considered obscene, politically unacceptable, or a threat to security

 

And since nothing was suppressed or prohibited, this situation does not fall under that definition and therefore is not censorship. This is localization, it is what videogame publishers do in order to market their games in foreign markets. When something is changed, it is not censored. That is like saying the Japanese text was censored in the English version, this is just not the case.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
