Should have replaced the ladies with gifs of Ricardo Milos to better appeal for the fanbase.

Also very pathetic, but that isn't the discussion here. People should be treated as adults and not kids who need to be told what is/isn't offensive. Let them decide, don't force the decision on them.
These censorship policies do nothing but tell people how to feel, instead of letting them make the decisions themselves - also comes across as hilariously inept when Sony allowed shit like Life is Strange 2 and The Last of Us 2, both of which had very blatant, very notable sex scenes. The former involving children.

So it's still just hearsay and rumours then?
Over the years I've heard so many different origin stories to this exact story but not a single person over the years that I've asked people about these things has ever been able to offer any because miraculously, nowhere that this evidence once appeared ever seem to exist any more.
The reality is that I don't feel it's important whether they did try to stop people making 2D games or not, because none of that really matters. What's always bothered me about things like this and other truly important things of this type is that people so readily accept things without the slightest evidence just because people keep saying it.
The games and these policies really aren't important and have never been but it's always been such a good example of what's known as the "illusion of truth" and just how easy it is to create myths, particularly so these days where myths are so embraced on social media.
Sorry, verging on politics there, I'll stop now!!

What the fuck. I told you it was on G4 TV more than 16 years ago. But since YouTube didn't exist then I'm lying?

Absolutely not, you would know if I was accusing you of lying because my post would have contained the words "I think you're lying". It's not something that I would mix my words with.
To be fair, sixteen years is an incredibly long time where the words would need to be remembered very specifically for what you're claiming to be a fact and lets be honest, with the way that our brains work I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable with something as insignificant as this being remembered for a few days let along sixteen years.
Again, it's just that everything about the games that were released on the consoles suggest that what you're claiming is inaccurate and I've spent far too much time looking into the illusion of truth. In relation to this particular legend people have 100% over the years said that there was first hand evidence but even when the games were still being released there was never anything that a single person could show as evidence.
Everybody heard it somewhere or read it somewhere but they can't ever present it to people, it's the same when this happens with important things too even when the topic is a week old or something.
In reality, this isn't even about you, your just the one who said it, tried to prove it and after not being able to prove it announced where they first heard it.

ok, I really need someone who is smarter than me to explain it to me as indepth as possible: What is wrong with sony lately? I need more than just "it's woke now" explanations.
DOn't be afraid to write an essay about it because I really need to know. I mean, furries? really? I got no problem with fantasy women Like Fran from Final fantasy 12 being a sexy ass bunny girl, but this other stuff is getting really creepy now.
Oh and obligatory hot ass Fran:

It was 4chan… you know the most "reliable" place for "news" lol
The "source" being 4chan already tells a lot about it.
And it becomes more trick.
"Did this guy just rewrite Zach Meston's exaggerated, sensational, obnoxious, anti-SCEA rant from a year or two ago?"
It was a copy/pasta from another made up rumor from Zach Meston lol

As I've repeatedly said to you, I'm not suggesting that it is false. I've repeatedly remarked that I have no idea if it's accurate or not but also that not a single person has ever been able to substantiate it over the years.
You really shouldn't take it personally, as I've said, this isn't about you in any way. I have no issues with you believing in this or any other...thing.
Yeah, I saw that it was 4chan so I wasn't really expecting it to be a post from Bernie Stolar explaining his Five Star Policy in detail to other 4chan members.

Another thread here on GAF about it:
Did SCEA hinder the release of 2D games during the PS1 era?
While it's been rumored for a while that Sony was going to clamp down on lesser-quality titles, the proof has come in the form of refusals for two of Capcom's MegaMan games. MegaMan Battle and Chase, Capcom's version of Mario Kart, did not pass Sony's now-stringent approval process. MegaMan...
It's even FUCKING CITED IN WIKIPEDIA:

This was WELL KNOWN by anyone who lived through that time.
Trying to pretend that they didn't have a policy like that is like trying to pretend that Nintendo never limited third parties to just 5 games a year or that Microsoft didn't fuck over AMD with the original Xbox (where AMD made the prototype and then Bill Gates fucked them at the reveal saying Nvidia was making the GPU).

There's definitely discussion to be had there and I'd love to know what the thinking behind these kind of decisions is.
I assume The Last of Us 2 is OK to have a sex scene because everyone knows it's gross.
Which means the message is that your videogame can have sex in it but only if the players don't enjoying seeing it.
The way the gaming industry reacts to "sexy" content is a bit weird when compared to other forms of entertainment. When you also consider the massive popularity of Twitch and the popular content on that platform it seems even more strange.
Too bad there are almost no legitimate game journalists!

You would think, but no - the sex scene in TLOU2 is *supposed* to be titillating. If the fanboys and ND/Druckmann are to be believed.

you are simply wrong, we heard from many devs that Sony didn't let their game on their service so they had to do additional censorship compared to the Switch versions

As I proved you that article was a total lie. These Capcom 2D games like hundreds of other games, including many other Capcom games, were published in PSX and as I proven even Sony published 2D games for PSX. It's total bullshit, Sony never banned 2D games and never blocked a game for being 2D.
Did many people including maybe some Sony staff and some gaming press prefer 3D games over 2D games back then because 3D games were the newer, trendy, moder, fancier stuff in terms of visuals? Yes. Does it mean Sony was blocking 2D games being published? No, there were a lot of 2D games in PSX including several Capcom and Sony ones.
Capcom never said such thing and instead published a lot of games on PSX.
As I proven before Sony never had a ban on 2D games because 2D games were being published on PSX since the first year of the consoles, a year where even Sony published 2D games for that console.It's even FUCKING CITED IN WIKIPEDIA:

The Order: 1886 is a third person action adventure game developed by Ready At Dawn and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. The video game was released on February 20, 2015. In order to get the game released in Japan, a number of scenes had to be censored. All nudity including genitalia was...

Are we sure it's not the other way round and the furry version was actually the original? Looks a bit too well made.
(which makes it equally uncomfortable if it's actually the censored version... why go that far for a game nobody's gonna play anyway, mmm?)

Exactly... so what's the point in modding it? The target audience is quite clear, you're losing potential sales there.

Now you're the one lying. Look at SCEA's published games IN THE US from 1995 and 1996 (the Stolar years).
List of Sony Interactive Entertainment video games - Wikipedia
The only thing that can be considered true 2D was Mortal Kombat Trilogy, but at the time there was no way SCEA would ban that because it would be suicide for the new console. Philosoma had some 2D stuff, but it was considered a 2D/3D FMV shooter; not something that could be done on 16 bit. During that time they wouldn't localize stuff like Arc the Lad because it was both 2D and a RPG.
The EGM article I posted above from 1997 is 100% true. Stop screaming that people are lying because you didn't experience this time in gaming history.
