I've looked & I could have missed it, maybe its saved in their drafts but @ukieofficial.bsky.social TIGA, BFI, that new video game council. Which UK body representing games is stepping up to publicly speak about the mass censorship of the cultural form they represent?

WELL...

Let me check first what's the perception of this story from the other side and I'll tell you later how right they were. I mean, before reading the text, I can totally understand why DS would be pissed at Yager... BUT we were also pissed at another company that didn't do its part in time.
