They basically decided to heavily censor the game which made players mad and they actually start quitting (unlike clash royale players all bark no bite) and they decided to cancle it so the game wont die but they already kinda lost players trust so idk if the game will recover from this

The next chapter of the drama is that after supposedly agreeing to back track the censorship the newest scene interaction has a giant black bar covering most of it apparently, so people are worried there’s gonna be a lot of censorship going forward even if they aren’t gonna retroactively change anything

So it performed a reverse Snowbreak and had the opposite result as well, that makes sense.

Devs announced that they were going to change/censore costumes that involved "problematic" subjects. Massive backlash from the players followed and the devs reversed the decision. However, the damage has been done and a lot of players do not trust the devs now.

The interesting thing is that when the devs reversed course they mentioned that they would be looking into additional regional servers which implies that a country or countries threatened to ban BD2 if changes were not made. Last I checked that country was supposedly Germany, but I dont know if that was confirmed.

It should be mentioned that last December was the 2.5 anniversary for BD2 so January was always going to see a significant drop off, but obviously the initial censorship announcement made it so much worse.

The devs flip flopped for the 300th time and announced they were censoring lots of skins for odd reasons (a schoolgirl nurse changed to an adult sexy nurse to avoid "implications", the rest were just standard censorship to make skins more sfw). Plus the removal of a minigame where you slap asses because the devs suddenly went woke and said it sexualized women. I am not joking. The playerbase was obviously angry and they walked back everything. But I lost my trust in them LONG ago and finally the new playerbase (the gooners, not the OG Brown Dust players) saw it for themselves

Nice misinformation. The only things getting censored were lolis and skins that could be thought of as underage. It wasn't even 1/15 of them so saying a lot is just wrong. It also turned out that the reason was because the game was getting taken down in some regions (GER for one) so they were trying to change some things and finally decided against it because of the backlash. So those regions just lost the game instead.

This is actually the misinfo that was spread. People claimed it was ONLY the lolis censored to try and make the announcement not look as bad, but they censored skins and dialogue from the other female characters that can't be mistaken for a loli. You can find pictures from the livestream of that schoolgirl nurse skin getting the outfit altered and threads on the BD2 subreddit about the rest of the changes. The slap minigame getting removed was the bigger part of the censorship wave, none of the loli characters are in that minigame.

bro, you're the one spreading misinformation. butt slap mini-game was going to be removed too because it was "demeaning to women", and it only included adult characters

I didn't mention the butt slap game so no I wasn't spreading misinformation. That would be if I had said they were getting rid of the butt slap game because the prince of the world told them to. And you are acting like the butt game is of any kind of importance. Its a game people played once and never got touched again as it sits in the minigames section. Acting like a large number of skins were getting changed is actual misinformation. Also funny the blue archive people always show up for loli talk when they don't interact with the game being talked about.

Teresse is neither a loli nor underage.

I literally said skins that could be thought of as underage. Also that Teresse skin had the age as 16 before removing the ages so technically that skin was. Characters have different ages depending on the costume.

Would you date a 16 year old? Also the problem is that 16 is underage in other places. That was part of other places problem and why ages got removed altogether.

u/zzkigzz48 Feb 02 '26 edited Feb 02 '26

What does who I want to date have to do with this fact? Look at your line of logic:

You were spreading misinformation about them only censoring lolis and underage, and when I pointed out one of the characters they censor is not underage, you said she's 16, and when I told you the fact that 16 is not underage, you hit me with an ad hominem attack.

And you talk as if this game hasn't been globally accessible all this time.

Because it doesn't matter what the age is there. The problem was with other countries so you would go by their rules.
