2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

This is just sad, man. Those guys should get a life.

At a certain point Anime Games only exist because of teenage hormone levels.

Teenage... Yes... Teenage...

I'm curious how many people who upvoted this only got into the genre after age 20. Excluding pre-internet fans who wouldn't have had access as teenagers.

It’s worth mentioning that the Shinku patch was released just 12 hours after Version 1.2 went live on July 2, which is a rather quick response by the devs at Perfect World to “un-nerf” their newest character.

12 hours for the patch to be released, players playing it, complaining about it online, the devs reading it, deciding to act on the complains, change the model and release the new patch?

That sounds a bit too quick to me and more like they already had the model ready. For whatever reason.

And just for completeness sake, this whole thing is stupid beyond believe.

they already had the model ready.

Almost certainly. International marketing showed renders of the character with pantsu, but the character was released in China with shorts.

Capitalists incarnate: gooning and gambling

Genuinely surprised they even dared to release a female character in shorts to a Chinese audience. You would think they know how much they indoctrinated their audience with trashy fan service by now. The stories about enraged lonely guys almost ending an entire franchise over not pandering enough to their fantasies are crazy. You don't want to mess with those guys. It could put your employees in actual danger.

Gacha games (especially these days) are usually more censored on Chinese servers than on global ones to avoid government interest. That's why you can have long running titles like Azur Lane being kinda crazy with their skins without getting into trouble while other ones (Snowbreak) crash and burn because their devs felt a little too comfortable skirting the rules.

Not saying whether any of that is good or bad but CN servers do tend to err on the side of caution with their designs.

Because at the same time, if they make a character's clothing too revealing, they'll have their wrists slapped by the government censors. I used to play Genshin Impact, and Hoyo got slapped during that time:
