Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

I dont want to get topic banned, but what you're saying makes absolutely no sense.

Are you suggesting that Trump asked Zuck / Facebook to suppress information regarding a New York Post story involving corruption allegations involving Biden's family?

The topic for politics is {Over there}

top thread on that page, "Should be nuke Iran"

which is probably why they didn't even bother releasing it in the west at all and just bailed.

Wow ***, Blue Protocol is shutting down. That's like 1.5 years of lifespan.

Looks like live service game market oversaturation is real.....

wow ...

I was in the beta, did it ever go live in the USA? If so why didn't I get a notice about it?

You would think they might mention it to beta testers.

Edit: the launch in JP didn't went well either. The popularity dropped REALLY quick from what I've heard.

despite the publishers already signed the deal and Smilegate did the beta...

......they didn't release in Asia outside of Japan as well, despite the publishers already signed the deal and Smilegate did the beta...

If you want to look for an excuse to spread western anti-woke conspiracy theory, at least google for info first......

I think you're mixing up games here, Smilegate had nothing to do with Blue Protocol in the west. Amazon was the licensed publisher and did a beta. Blue Protocol is developed by Namco Bandai. Smilegate did get the rights to publish it in Korea, but it was delayed.

Did Amazon delay the release of the game in the west for 6+ months to add censorship and more diversity? A 6 month delay is massive, the amount of money they lost doing this is insane.

The upcoming Bandai Namco game Blue Protocol released last month in Japan, things are taking a bit longer for an international release and part of that appears to be localization changes being made.

In a recent interview with the Blue Protocol Database, the site spoke with “Franchise Lead” Mike Zadorojny about the game’s upcoming English release through publisher Amazon Games.

When confronted about censorship in the English release, Zadorojny admitted to content changes in pursuit of a Teen rating such as removing the “Jiggle Physics” button from character creation.

BPDB: Let’s start with the first question. Censorship is a huge topic in the west. Can you confirm if elements of the game will be changed in Blue Protocol to fit the western scene? If yes, may you please expand on this subject?



Mike Zadorojny: So, I’ll talk at a high level in terms of the goals of what we are trying to accomplish in this and then we’ll go back down into the specifics. I think censorship comes in different ways and the level of censorship is usually where we find disagreements within the community.

Generally speaking, when we are talking about censorship for Blue Protocol, we want to bring Shimooka-san’s vision for the game and for the western players. However, there are layers we have to think about from a cultural, legal, and a regulatory perspective. We want the content and the events to be the same one-to-one. When we talk about changes, we are looking at a perspective from bringing the game to as many people as possible. We are targeting a T-Rating since it as an Anime game, and generally speaking, Anime is much more approachable for the Teen market unless you start going towards certain extremes. This game does not really play to those extremes.

I didn't mix up anything, I was talking about Asian release in the post.

If you were talking specifically about Korea the entire time, then why mention Asia? The game was already in Asia as it was released in Japan.

they didn't release in Asia outside of Japan as well,

Was there news anywhere that Blue Protocol was being released in Asia specifically by Smilegate?

Smilegate did the beta...

The only info I see is that they were contracted to release the game in Korea, not the entirety of Asia.

No, because Smilegate(Korean publisher for BP) and Cayenne entertainment (Traditional Chinese region publisher for BP)

......they didn't release in Asia outside of Japan as well, despite the publishers already signed the deal and Smilegate did the beta...

It makes no logical sense to say this while saying that you knew Smilegate was only handling a Korean release. If nothing else, it's very misleading to people who don't know that as you chose to omit it, if you truly even did know. On top of that, I can't even find any information showing that Smilegate even did any beta at all.

I read what you wrote. Next time, say what you're thinking in your head instead of giving out false information, and then correcting yourself later as if you knew it all along.

Sounds like Radial has biased opinion against Amazon to me.
