[2019] question on the censorship


Original Post — Direct link

Why is God censored in the chat in this game? I'm sure there are a lot more words that shouldn't be said...and that's what yall are worried about. I'm not here to argue whether religion is real or not, I really don't care about those opinions atm. Just asking a question on the crazy censorship with no way to turn off the filter. I'm sure we are all adults here or at least can act like it.

Edit: It censored me saying " This is a God tier Item"

Edit 2: checked for other religions...Allah is allowed God is not.

We found a filter that another large company used which contains thousands of words that we're having to reduce over time as we find ones that aren't appropriate to sensor. If you can imagine, as an indie team it doesnt make a lot of sense to put someone on creating a list of words from scratch as there are bigger fish to fry, haha! Plus I don't think anyone needs to hear some of the terms put into these filters.

Your example for instance shouldn't exist and I've gone ahead and removed that now so it shouldn't be filtered in the next patch release. Thanks, Pkirish!

Refund while you can. I bought the game thinking supporting them but some developers or community managers straight out rude and turns blind eye when asking about certain features fixes.

If its like that now cant think about future.

Hi there,

This comment is concerning. Could you please message me a link to the post you are talking about? I would like to verify whether it really was a member of team, and investigate accordingly if so.

Thanks!

I'm going to lock this discussion as our Game Director has addressed the issue and the comments have unfortunately required an atypically large amount of moderation. As an indie team there is a limit to how much moderation we can perform over the weekend. Please feel free to create new posts about any other issues with the profanity filter.

Yes, there will be.
