If you're going to stand up against this principle you better be ready to not play a shit-ton of game. If you go have a read around you'll find games get censored in various territories all the damn time, so more often than not a game will be released somewhere with elements censored. So have fun sticking up for that principle.

Unless, of course, it's only a principle you care about if it's affecting you; because there's some solid moral high-ground to be standing on.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

No, what you mean is when it obviously affects you then you've got to say something. Don't talk about standing up for a principle when it's nothing but a petty complaint because you are the one losing out this time.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

No, wrong. We're not arguing over semantics in the slightest, I'm arguing that you're trying to claim some moral high-ground whilst actually only caring because you're personally affected.

I dislike censorship, and agree that it is annoying when a game you were intending to buy, or have bought, has stuff censored. However, it's part of life and you deal with it an move on. You said "I'm not getting this game because it's censored", which is fair enough. Rotor called you on the bullshit of that statement, and to try and sound like some sort of hero you came back with "Its the principle of censoring a product for one region while keeping everything intact in another." If that were the case, if you truly believe in taking a stand and not purchasing games on that principle then, as I said, you'd better be not buying other games that are censored in other territories. It's about the principle right? No, it's not, what it is actually about is that you, you personally, are a victim of this censorship and it has annoyed you. Fair enough, that's a valid stand point (though I agree with Rotor, somewhat silly), but don't come in here making grand statements about principles when it has nothing to do with principles and everything to do with selfish reasoning.

If you think we're still arguing semantics then I suggest you find a dictionary and start looking up some shit.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
