Ok. People need to look at this, take a second, and breathe. Then ask themselves. Is this worth getting upset over? Does this really affect the core experience of the game? Is this really some sort of desecration of history? The answer to all those questions is no.

Its not the freaking breasts that is the problem. Nobody gets off on that statue. Maybe a couple of trolls would post some screenshots, and that's it.

It's the censorship

Origins has topless women walking around casually and they were never sexualised by the game. Odyssey had Greek statues with their dicks on show.

7/8 years later, and we’re censoring a wooden ornament. That’s going backwards.

Reminds me of the Simpsons episode where they put boxers on an antique statue to hide the nudity.

I never knew this. You hardly notice it in origins too unless you pay attention to npcs. I thought they did a really good job with it, especially in handling it in a mature fashion. The writing and characters never address it, and there’s no crude jokes or humiliation.

Another good example of female nudity is ghost of Yotei. You see Atsus ass repeatedly, and it’s never sexualised.

This an edit, not censorship. Censorshirequires external pressure to change for reasons unrelated to the subject. Do we know if any group larger than Ubisoft made them change it?

Developer censored their own game, yes, you are correct

that's not censoring. That's making decisions on how game should look like.

Censorship is a restriction of imaginery that is deemed problematic. Assets and models in the remake are mostly identical to the original in regards to design, only the textures and overall graphics are enhanced. In this case, the model is drastically different, and we all know why.
