Localization and Censorship

Localization and Censorship

In this article, we analyze public misunderstanding of censorship as it occurs in the video game localization process.

Censorship is a hot-button issue in games and particularly in localization, but the term is often defined too loosely for productive discussion. Bagoum looks at a few varieties of censorship to break down what makes them different and where the problems come from - and the cases where censorship might actually be a good thing.
