I don't think the console market is okay for a variety of reasons. This particular issue however, not being able to publish whatever the fuck you want under someone else's brand, is very much not high on them. The other reasons, the anticompetitive nature of the industry, is what makes it a problem. Most certainly not someone deciding they don't want their product marketed with fucking around with corpses.

And relieving the developers of the agency of their own vision is specious. They made a decision. Obviously this new direction is within what they're trying to deliver or they wouldn't be doing it. The most salient point here is that the amount of changes they seem to be making are negligible. Dismemberment of living people fine, dismemberment of corpses gone. They claim they've preserved their vision through limited changes. Everybody else is playing like the loss of that is a fundamental betrayal. It's fucking ridiculous.
