I found a vagina in Watch Dogs 2 and Sony suspended me (Update: Ban lifted)

UBISOFT is really trying to be Rockstar huh? I don't think Rockstar ever rendered that specific genital, though they did full frontal a dude in The Lost and Dammed.

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
I don't get the fuss here. Anyone who uses a PS4, computer, phone or even a family system like the Wii can just open up the browser and search for vaginas and see anything imaginable. The access kids have to porn these days is incredible. Why would anyone get excited over a low-res ham wallet texture in a video game?

Exactly. Why is Sony suspending him?

Because if you search or click links to that stuff you're in control.

Posting pics of potentially offensive material to a public place Sony moderates means you're taking that control away from others.
 
Because you posted on... Twitter? Wut? How do they even know it's you? Or was it through the PS4 sharing/twitter connection thing?

Kind of stupid that they'd ban you for this regardless, but at least it's just a week-long ban and not permanent, I guess... :S

Edit: also, being nitpicky, that's a vulva not a vagina ;)

When you share by the console , it not only get posted on twitter , it also happen on your friends timelines in the "what new" category on their consoles. There is an hidden ID for matching content with your friends for facebook , youtube, twitter and so on...

Its in the OP.
He used the ps4 to share the picture. When u do that, the picture can be seen on Whats New section and in Live from Playstation. And you cant share adult content on PSN.

So they temp-ban everyone sharing mass shootings and mass murder that takes place in action games?
 
Hmmm, looks like the game is rated for the nudity. Whats the issue here OP? Are you upset the game has nudity in it even though it clearly states it has nudity in the ESRB box or are you mad you got banned for sharing a screenshot of said nudity?

No problem with this being in the game. It's M-rated and humans do have genitals. Despite the best attempts of the American media to make it seem otherwise, nipples are real, too.

Obviously you shouldn't have shared the screenshot.

But ubisoft did

Only to those who buy it and are therefore consenting they are of age to play.

Jokes aside because the OP shared this on the social side of the PSN network they potentially led the poor children see a vagina.

Next week OP should share a penis and make sure Sony clamp down on penises as well. 2 week ban for science.
 
Do you guys think they were right to suspend me for sharing content they've allowed on their platform?
It's their network of shared content though. If they find your content in violation of their rules, they're allowed to do whatever they want in response.

Read the rules:


Edit: Errr... I guess I didn't read well enough either. I guess those are the rules for the forums on PlayStation websites. Somebody else found similar rules up above associated with your PSN. Either way, it's against the rules, so...

Huh? I just replayed it recently, not sure what you're talking about. Definitely not erect dudes in RDR, that would be an instant AO.

Multiple games have shown dicks, like GTA V, The Order, Thief, etc. Genitals aren't grounds for an AO rating, it has to be a porn game or something which aren't even on consoles to begin with.

Do the people in here that have a problem with vaginas in this M rated game also have a problem with penises in GTA?
 
It's likely already in the TOS.
Sort of. The player is still left to guess whats sexually offensive.

Would a simple vista shot with some nude visible in the frame be considered offensive? Or just people spread eagle on the ground? Is there any violent act you could do in a game that would lead to similar suspensions?

And suspending the entire account feels like overkill here. Maybe suspend sharing for a period of time rather than the account?

Not sure what the easy answer is here.

Yeah I already said on the last page they've shown male genitals. There's a big (heh) difference between showing one and showing an erect one penetrating someone.
