Ubisoft reverses course on Rainbow Six Siege “aesthetic changes”

Ubisoft is reversing all aesthetic changes made to Rainbow Six Siege as part of a plan to comply with local censors in Asian territories, the company announced today. The plan had been to strip out ambient references to sex, gambling, drugs, and death, and it was met with strong opposition by the community over social media. “We have spent the last week working on solutions and have decided that we will be reverting all aesthetic changes,” the Rainbow Six Team said in a post to the official site today. Those changes, which removed things like slot machines and suggestive neon signs from maps and changed certain icons in the game menus, were meant to facilitate a “single, global” version of the game client for all territories, including Asian countries where local decency laws prohibit depictions of certain vices and violence. Now, however, all those changes are being undone, following widespread community outcry, with many players threatening on Reddit to give up playing Rainbow Six Siege entirely if the changes were implemented.
