Mugen Souls (PS3)

[Darcnova]

Indeed, they only had to hamstring the map editor because you can't have that kind of user-created content unmoderated, and NISA can't afford to oversee all the creations people make.

... In the words of Johnny Gat, "Well, why the fuck not?".

As it would constantly cost money to moderate it, and NISA isn't large enough to spend money on something which doesn't actually earn them anything back.

Exactly

[ZekeFreek]

Exactly

But NIS did it, by themselves?

Sony couldn't pitch in at all? Or do they need to put resources into their failing Television line? My point is, something probably could've been negotiated but they gave in right when someone told them no.

Why should Sony pitch in? What would they have to gain?
It still costs money and still doesn't earn anything back.

Neither does keeping LBP moderated, but they still do it.

They own LBP though, and they're obviously big enough to be able to invest in it.

And, my point is

how do you know no negotiations ever happened?

[ZekeFreek]

Their big enough to start investing in space travel for fucks sake, moderating custom maps seems rather trivial in comparison.

What are they, again? The third biggest Tech Conglomerate? Their in the Top 5, I know that anyway.

Well, no "successful" negotiations.

They didn't get that far by offering to do things that cost money for other companies out of the goodness of their hearts.
Not terribly sound business sense in their view.

Sheesh, what's the point of being rich if you can't blow money on random shit?

They don't see it that way.
Besides, that kind of thing is why they're losing money on things like their television department.

This is why I didn't wanna get into this discussion, since the Disgaea thing is completely different from Mugen Souls NEEDING to be changed for moral reasons, not because of Sony

Morals =/= National Ethics.

[Alura--x--Uneii]

Well when you figure that Americans are a bunch of Christians yeah >.>

[vampko]

I thought Mugen Souls was being changed because it wouldn't be accepted in this country otherwise?

[darkrchaos]

it being changed so it doesn't get a AO rating since giving someone a bath sounds a lot like a AO rating in a game....
