Now that everything is okay to be released, there won't be those huge controversies about censorship causing repercussion anymore, thus these games won't be able to count on that free advertising and the bad ones will sink fast. Oh, the controversy will continue. Do you think anyone had heard of Active Shooter until the media glomped onto it and clutched every pearl they could find? Of course not. That game's obviously utter garbage even without considering the subject matter; it would have otherwise faded immediately into the sea of barely-playable asset flips. That sort of media reaction isn't going to go away, though. People will always be horrified by a game that glorifies school shootings coming out amid a rash of very real school shootings, because that's a perfectly reasonable thing to be horrified by. People will always be horrified by any number of other game subjects that are specifically designed to be horrifying, and the "developers" of those "games" will continue to get off on "triggering SJW's," each time emboldened by Valve's decision that censoring them would be wrong (ignoring, of course, that the actual decision was that censoring them would entail doing actual work to continue making money hand over fist). --- This is my signature.
