To this day, the MMORPG continues to be one of the world's most-subscribed games with about 5.5 million subscribers, counted in October of 2015. World of Warcraft has defined the massively multiplayer online role-playing genre for well over a decade. Here are 15 of the strangest censorship in video games. We're not just talking about loss of blood or gore, but odd removal of dialogue, characters, and strawberry-flavored tofu. In this top 15 list, we'll be looking at the most WTF examples of censorship in video games. Especially if there was no rhyme or reason to the censoring. Whatever the case, everyone deserves the right to know what was lost in translation. Sometimes these edits are hardly noticeable other times they're unbelievably lazy. Depending on the country's culture and time period, game translators will simply do what must be done in order to get the big-name game approved at home. Not all censorship is done out of malicious intent. Japanese games are heavily censored in Japan for explicit violent Russia will ban a game if it deems it "gay propaganda," and Germany will rewrite the laws of death just to protect its people. Of course, America isn't the only country guilty of this crime. Nintendo Power was there to tell us about upcoming games and cheats not what we were missing out on from the Japanese gems we were playing. Why is that? Because there was no internet to tell us what to be mad about.
For the longest time video games have experienced censorship in all shapes and sizes, without the gaming populace batting an eye. Censorship is fine, as long as you're never aware that it happened in the first place.
