you lied

"There are a lot of people in the world who look like Eve.

And there are a lot of people in the world who dress like Eve.

They argue that everything they do is about inclusivity, but it's a lie.

Because if you look like Eve, you've been excluded.

If you dress like Eve, you've been excluded.

If you like this version of the game(v1.000) instead of the censored version, you have been excluded.

It doesn’t matter that you spent money and you threw money at the company, you have been excluded.

What you like about the game, they don’t care about it.

That is being excluded from the game."

-J Laker (Tokyo Stoner)

Stellar Blade - The Journey (Behind The Scenes)

Apr 12, 2024

In the "Behind The Scenes" video, they state that real life versions of the outfits were purchased.
Then, they had a model wear the outfit and scanned it into 3D.
They did this to achieve a "higher quality and realistic visuals".

In the day one version of the game(v.1002), the level of quality and visuals is LOW for most of the censored outfits.
All of the censored outfits have a seam line at the neck.
There appears to have been a rush to censor the outfits due to the pixelation, artifacting, and lack of detail that the censored outfits contain.
