TeamKill Media, the creators of the Dino Crisis-like game Code Violet, has decided against releasing their game on PC to prevent modders from creating inappropriate and ‘vulgar’ versions of their characters. While this decision safeguards the artistic intent and integrity of the game, it has sparked debates among players who hoped for wider accessibility, with many voicing disappointment on social media.
Vero’s thoughts on the news:
While the intention to protect the creative vision and prevent misuse is valid, restricting a PC release might limit the game’s potential reach and community involvement. PC gaming thrives on player input and modding culture, often enhancing the life cycle and engagement of a game. A more balanced approach could be to implement comprehensive modding guidelines or leverage advanced anti-modding technologies, ensuring the integrity of assets without cutting off an entire platform’s players. This decision may resonate with niche groups, but it risks alienating a passionate and innovative portion of the gaming community.
