Part of the quote was left out of that article for some reason. Here it is courtesy of https://www.oneangrygamer.net/2018/05/agony-uncensored-patch-will-not-be-available-due-to-legal-issues/59940/

Please bear in mind that leaving this content uncensored would result in the game being banned and us, Madmind Studio, being sued. That would simply lead to the studio being closed. Obviously, we don’t want this to happen and we hope that you understand it.

*chuckle* Blocked: sex/porn. :)

The library must have put the content filter back in their proxy. Every page is taking a few seconds to load today.

drmike: I was going to sit here in the library and play it but if they removed the *cough* "Genital Physics", I guess I'll pass at it.
That list is things still in the game

The technical term for this is "affinity scam". Fuck these devs, I hope they crash and burn.

KneeTheCap: As it got censored and there's apparently no restoration patch, I'm going to pass on the title. I really, really wanted that game, but I cannot stand censorship. It's not their original vision anymore when stuff get "toned down" or cut.

Such a shame.

paladin181: It's not the developer's original idea because they cut content? Perhaps they just weren't in line with what they were putting out. Not all cut content or "toned-down" content is due to external influences.

However, in this case it does seem that the developers just want to be allowed to sell their game in certain places and that the content would not allow that. I mean, let's be real, pushing the bounds of human decency for the sake of it is not exactly some incredible artistic expression.
The Human Centipede

Could you perhaps elaborate on your thought here? Because saying "the Human Centipede" (amazing film by the way) doesn't actually mean much in context here. Do you agree with me? Disagree? is this an example? A counter point? What is it you're trying to say?

I like Roger Ebert's review on it: https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-human-centipede-2010

Your typical 'promising-way-too-much'-kickstarter campaign, in the end that type of developer always delivers jack shit of the promised content, I'm not surprised.

And now they're going as far as to put all the blame on the publisher...pathetic.

I'll send back my pre-ordered copy tomorrow.

Not surprising at all.

Given that we live in a climate of over-sensitive cry babies who demand everything to be censored or deleted.
Posted May 29, 2018
The list of things that remain in the game despite the censoring of a few things is still pretty impressive, anyone heard anything about a release on gog? Tomorrow maybe?

Reading through the impressive list again, I wonder if the things they had to dial back on were fringing on pornographic content involving minors or anything along those lines. If that's the case it's probably for the best they cut a thing or two.

The technical term for your post is "utter bullshit".

A real shame. I was in search for something new to play, too. My second highest deal-breaker in priorities, right after DRM, is Censor.

Never support people who censor out things. Censor is the signature of true FASCISM.

I just love the sweet music of over-sensitive Gamers whining and crying about censorship! A few seconds removed from a cutscene is a small price to pay. :-p
