Wrong. Western money is the video game indistrys primary source of income. The big three are America, Europe and Japan but in reality it's America first, Europe second and Japan third depending in general when it comes to expectation. In past years Japan's sales was greater but not so much anymore.

No no no. What you are saying is that SE made the decision that they thought it would be better for them financially to censor this, because they think it can lead to higher sales in the west. That does not mean that western pressure can force SE into censoring their games. They do it out of their own will.

That's semantics.  Censorship isn't always forced upon an entity.  It can also be a choice.  Self-censoring is a real thing.  Most people do it every day when they are talking to their bosses at work.
