I don’t understand how people editing their own work is censorship, especially when the original is still available. That’s not at all what censorship is. in the case of this Sam & Max release, I think what’s going on is a small subset of the audience aren’t getting exactly what they want, and are upset but know that sounds childish to complain about, so they’re crying censorship as a somehow more “acceptable” way of throwing that same fit. (Sorry for bringing some negativity to this good times thread!)

We’re already working on season two! To be clear, I understand not liking that a new version of something has changed in a way that makes me like it less. That is a shitty feeling when it happens to something you like. It’s just not censorship! And trying to claim it IS censorship to give those feelings more weight is not justifiable. It sucks to feel bad because a thing I like has changed, but the world does not owe me for those feelings. Is it “bad business” to change something in a way that some customers don’t like? Maybe! (Or maybe not, depending on the outcome!) But again, that’s not censorship either.

I feel so sorry for you guys getting negative reviews because of these assholes. There is no logical explanation for their outrage (and tons of logic to counter it), so it's really only wasted energy to even try it. I sincerely hope none of this stands in the way of further remasters.

Children will be children. I wonder if I would have been one of the inappropriately outraged if I was still a teenager. I’d like to think not, but who knows, we all hold weird notions when we’re young.

Good to hear you're already working on season two, Jake! Now please, let's not derail this positive thread. I'm sorry I used the term above, I understand why it would trigger you at a time like this. I hope the bad winds that blow will soon lay down, let's enjoy Sam and Max the best we can! I bought season one on Switch, and I'll buy Season two in a heartbeat!

I remember getting terribly upset about censorship when I was younger (mind you, I didn’t rage on the internet), and while I notice it still triggers me (I’m 34 now), I’m not too bothered by it anymore. I guess all that therapy payed off. 😉

Just mentioning that I "claimed" TheScummBar on Discord before some non-mojoer could possibly claim it. I haven't brought it up before so no one uses it. I'd be happy to give it to our ScummBar site. I haven't gotten into using Discord much though I usually just enjoy these forums.
