That's a very important update.

This entire thread is an example of our age of outrage before facts.

No one should have a problem with this.

Obviously you didn't read the entire thread before making such broad statements. Because the update doesn't in the least changes my concerns. I already gave an example for Sony deciding more than the public body making such decisions for my country, the USK. Based on which rules did Sony decide? We don't know. It is quite possible they don't even have a fixed set of rules but decide on a whim.

We have a public body deciding already on what the defenders of Sony here in this thread assume Sony is doing. But the public body has transparent rules, transparent decision that can be challenged in a court of law, a general accountability. All of this lacks this internal process at Sony. So nobody else has concerns if a multinational company makes decision the public should make?

So yes, everyone thinking this through should have a problem with this!

If they feel that the public body isn't strict enough on under-aged depictions then they can choose to control that on their platform if they wish to. They aren't halting the producting of the game, they can't do that. It just means you gotta go somewhere else to play it.
