@GC-161 I almost smacked my monitor because of your bug picture lol but while I'm here, I can't say I agree with your analysis. Unless you have stats to back up your "50 and older", I'm pretty much gonna call that straight bs. It's the 3rd largest sport in America, and massive in Central America and Japan. And where is "player's performance has gone down" coming from? Were you aware the MLB just had the most home runs they've ever had in any season by over 400?

I don't mind if you think baseball is boring, there's plenty of people that do, but let's not spout false facts about it

@LADDLY You do realize the reason it probably has sexual content to begin with is because it's popular in Japanese culture and sells right? The game was MADE for the Japanese market. To have a game "as it was meant to be played" would require the developers and writers to make the game exactly how they envision it, but nobody does that anymore. Developers know that adding a gay character is popular, so they do. Developers know that having a female lead character is popular and will sell, so they do. Developers know that teenage boys like bikinis and tight shirts, so they add it to sell. There is no such thing as a game being "as it was meant to be" anymore.

Everyone keeps saying they want the game to be "how it was meant to be", with no censorship. But people do realize the game has this sexual content in it solely because sex sells in Japan very well. They tailored the game for Japan, just like they tailor the games for the west. There is no such thing as "how it was meant to be" anymore, because everything is about tailoring to the demands. We add gay characters because people want it, or sex because people want it, or female lead characters because people want it. The writers of the game mat very well never want any of this, but they have to incorporate what sells along with their own ideas. And the fact of the matter is, in the west it is significantly less socially acceptable for young girls to be sexual objects. It's funny how "progressive" means accepting homosexual culture, but we can't seem to treat women as much other than sex objects. People realize that's what they're doing right? And if you think the original version is exactly how the developers wanted the game, without any bias from the Japanese market, you are being naive.
