[QUOTE="Citizen, post: 280486, member: 6915"] I bought pack 1 to support the product in the hopes that they'll listen to the calls to end the censorship and resubmit the content for reclassification or otherwise find some other workaround for unedited releases, but if they just keep releasing censored tables, especially with no way to do things as simple as disabling family mode for the console versions, I'll stop buying. I know some people don't mind (which is fine) and feel as though that because they don't mind, no one should, but I do mind. I'll be happy if they at least fight to get us as much as they can without jeopardizing their Disney license. Obviously I don't expect them to harm relations with a multi-billion dollar corporation for us, I'm not a lunatic. But resubmitting to the ESRB shouldn't be out of the question in my opinion. I also agree with the sentiment that allowing censorship to modify gameplay or strip down the entire core character of a machine is where it goes too far. If they start releasing things missing modes or completely rethemed, I'm out. But yeah, if they get us as much as they can without pissing off Disney, don't touch gameplay, don't destroy a game's character, and stop using different standards for consoles, I'll be happy. If not, vote with wallet. A losing vote to be sure, but oh well. [/QUOTE]
