Diablo II Remaster Censors Amazon’s Butt & Sorceress Under boob​

In typical Blizzard fashion, an early look at the upcoming Diablo II remaster has revealed the sexiness of the female classes has been toned down, resulting in the Amazon having her butt covered up while the underboob of the Sorceress has vanished.

The elimination of the Sorceress’ underboob was found out through the remaster’s announcement trailer some time ago (the Sorceress also seeming to be a bit fatter):

The character select screen from the original Diablo II: Lord of Destruction:

It was learned that the Amazon had her shapely bottom covered up as well – a Hololive English virtual YouTuber delivering a reaction that was likely not shared by those sadly accustomed to the vast amount of censorship that now exists in the games industry:

The only reassuring aspect of this censorship is the fact that players at least have the option to switch between the new and old graphics, letting them choose which they’d rather stick with.

Blizzard is no stranger to controversies of the preposterous sort, so this development is not entirely unexpected.

They just had to do it they can't just leave us with a bit of fan service no because we are Activation and we want to shit on anything that blizzard stood for.

Fuck your remastered I play my 20 year old cd. For the millionth time instead.

W-why? Why would the change Oda Non's character designs? I mean, I know why or at least can guess why. But still... such sadness... :gura-pain:

The worst thing? No one would have cared if it was kept the same.
It's self censorship at this point, and I feel like it's the worst thing about current games, being censored even before being released.

It defensively is self censorship. They are so afraid of criticism. It is a shame.

My heart sank when I saw the comparisons. I am a big fan of Oda Non's art style. The new design for Maria is not even bad (well to Twitter standards it's showing too much skin). If it was like this since the original release I would be like "yeah, ok, that's nice". However, in comparison to Oda Non's design it is inferior.

Yes, and my guess is that some will do that before anything was released, so we'll never know about the original artist intention.
The current stigma about sexy characters or feminine women is annoying as hell, and I see a polarization in the future between smaller studios who will continue to do whatever they want, and bigger ones asked to make everything blander for fear of a few wokes and journalists afraid of sexiness.

Did we find out the exact reason a bunch of ships got removed from the Chinese Azur Lane servers? My only guess would be censorship but I don't know if it was even explicitly stated anywhere
