Well, their consumers are the studios that hire them, not the people purchasing the games they were hired for. The amount of games sold isn't going to have Sweet Baby Inc. see a profit boost, I'm sure.
Sorry, should I have said "end consumers"? And if people are using their involvement as one (likely among several) criteria of what they will buy and it's known that's the case, then the amount of games sold is going to have a impact on their ability to get future work. And let's be real, this is the reason they don't want attention drawn to their portfolio - if it turns out that enough people see their involvement as a bad thing to hurt sales then it will cut them off from at least some future work. And apparently they at least significantly worry that will be the case.
Sweet Baby Inc. wasn't hiding, they were in the credits of the games they consulted on.
I know right? Surely finding a mention buried in the end credits is useful for making a purchasing decision. But that's kind of the point - the end consumer shouldn't know if they were involved and be allowed to consider it when making a purchase, only find out after the fact. Weird that, almost like they don't want end users who haven't purchased a thing they've been involved with to have easy access to that information.
Like, I'm 95% sure western devs "get a pass" on full frontal nudity because it's actively illegal in South Korea (pornography in general) and Japan (uncensored genitalia). And our stuff is duly censored when taken over there
Wrong direction to look at it, he's talking about games from western devs getting near to carte-blanche regarding sex and sexuality if they're remotely big at all while games localized from East Asia get that stuff tamped down for western releases.
So, as more backstory, this was a juvenile hunting dog that wasn't doing what it was told and messing up hunting. Because it was disobedient, she killed it.
Was she just too lazy to take it to a shelter? Like if it won't cooperate with training, I can understand not wanting to keep trying to work with it as a hunting dog after a point (sometimes an animal is just not a good fit for the task at hand) but she could have easily taken it to a shelter.
Most games with a Saudi release remove their LGBTQ+ content because they'd rather cut that stuff than not be sold in Saudi Arabia and a couple other countries with similar compunctions. If I remember right one of the Spider-Man games had a mod that removed the LGBTQ+ flags and was thus banned from Nexus, etc where literally all the mod actually did was change a setting in a config file to tell the game it was in a Middle East country but still English language.
