What exactly changed? I don’t like when stuff is cut out of a translation, but I’m fine with devs revisiting and revising their own work.

The Black Egrets' Nazi aesthetic has been toned down.

Huh. They don’t seem Nazi-related at all as far as the plot goes. Not sure why that was a thing in the first place.

I always thought it was because of the fascist resurgence that has been happening this last decade. My guess is that they decided they wanted none of that shit nor people using her as a dogwhistle, so they removed it. I can understand that intention, but I likewise do not feel comfortable with a game being changed post-release.

Something similar happened with the Medic of Team Fortress 2 in its very, very early release ("Heil Us!"), but they later changed his character into being more of a Mad Scientist in the vein of Dr. Frankenstein rather than... you know.

I mean, they also removed underage pantyshots and there is a notable uptick in fascists and Nazis lately so.

Basically:
- Several sprites and cutscene artwork was altered to remove or downplay pantyshots
- Black Egrets designs were tweaked
- (And this was the real pisser) Some VO packs and artwork from the artbook DLC was removed, effectively removing things people paid for
- Other things I forget ATM

All of this as an underpants-bleaching promotional stunt for ESG. Also devs mocked people who protested and shut down discussions of the patch on official platforms.

Also, this isn't technically "their own work". The original creators are long gone (Mike Z was ousted, Ahad quietly left after disagreements) and now the mobile game's team is continuing development. They're the ones who made this decision.
