deathkitten: I like that they were at least prepared to go ahead with it before censor agencies bullied them.... not many games companies are prepared to be daring in this age where one nipple is dealt with in America in the same way as if it was another 9/11.
Walmart is also responsible apparently, they refused to stock the game such is the burning hate directed at women's bodies by the fascistic Religious Right:

lordfirefox: How do you explain then that they sell copies of Age of Conan? AoC has full blown toplessness including aureole. And there is even a fix out there that removes the pasted on underwear.
And yet no one, not even Jack Thompson bats an eyelash at this.
Err, Jack Thompson has been disbarred:

In regards to the nudity, well what can I say? Some say it's art and we should allow it, some say it's unfitting for children. Which is kind of weird, because most of us are breastfed.
But then again, the context in which this nudity is 'used' is often of a sexual or marketing undertone which makes it somewhat unfit for the young. Personally I believe that nipples - both male and female are nothing that needs to be censored. Heck, go to the beach in most places, and well - you get the picture (pun intended)
I think it's good GOG left it in though. For those that want to, it can be fixed easily. For those with children - it's an assurance that their kids won't see something they won't want them to see.
In all fairness - what we believe is right or wrong in this subject is into our own minds, beliefs and origins. As are the beliefs of others. If you are OK with (your children / yourself) seeing nipples, do so. If not, then don't.
Which is why I understand the fact the censorship is (left) in. So parents can buy this game for their children ;-)
