Nudity removed in Pendulo Studios’s Yesterday
I’ve recently found out that the Steam version censored a scene in all versions but the Russian release.
The English version: 
Over in Russia (NSFW):

Was this change made to any other versions of the game? How about boxed copies? Were any other scenes censored? Why was this censorship made?
the same thing had happened long ago to Overclocked intro, and let me tell i was too surprised that the dev had nothing to with, even didn’t know about it.
So much for Yesterday featuring in this thread.

That’s some weird censorship

Who did it? The publisher on Steam?
Why was this censorship made?
Because ass and nipple images are proven to cause cancer, racism and famine. I don’t get to say this often but - well done, Russia.

sorry wilco, i have no idea, even the dev back then when i asked his reply was like “there’s always strange things happening with games in the Russian market.”!!
i didnt elaborate but sounds (the case for Overclocked) that he was aware only* of the girl from cell#2 haveing her breasts covered/cencored

That’s ok, it’s just weird because the steam store doesn’t have a problem with nudity so why are some publishers going through the trouble of censoring games?

The stripper in Martin Mystere (Crime Stories) was censored in the American version as well.

I’m really glad they put a bra in a crazy woman firing a gun in the middle of street in a rainy day, nipples are destroying the world 
At the time Overclocked came out, PC games were still largely sold at retail and large chains like Walmart would not carry a game with an M rating. If it’s a choice between standing up for the right to show a nipple or having a chance to actually sell copies of your game, that’s kind of a no brainer.
(And it’s not just about nipples… for example there were two versions of the Catherine box art—the “risque” one, and the Walmart one. http://catherine.wikia.com/wiki/Editions )
I don’t know why the art would have been changed in Yesterday seeing as it’s not rated by the ESRB, but does the nudity actually add anything to the story? (I have no idea, haven’t played it.) Removing gratuitous nudity to market to a certain audience isn’t the same as censorship.

Hi fov !
still, there are some Qs that (i have in mind) cannot seem to get them answered ! if only the Russian market has/had the nudity (cut)scene for Overclocked’s intro and as you said its ‘no brainer’ to decide what to censor and what not when it comes to marketing (or the retailing) rules for different venues; which version was the original release?, sounds as a stupid Q (i know) because definitely the uncensored has had to be it and eventually and the censoring would take place after; but how come Martin (take my words for that) haven’t had the idea/knowledge of it being anything but cencored or (or breasts covered).
so who did the (un)censoring and when?, i mean was it censored at upon different releases/versions from the start according to zone’s code, or the process took the natural course? but only for some kind of Martin’s sorts of different levels of involvement he hasn’t had seen the intro before the game’s release as we all kinda know his main talent and involvements are at the story and narrative sections, not the graphics/animation or desinging??
