    Saw on Reddit, Pinball FX3 just released new games. White Water being one of them with updated art on the backglass for "rating considerations". Seems unnecessary to me. what do you think?Capture (resized).PNGCapture (resized).PNG

    Wait...Willies still pullin his willie, but she has to put on longer shorts and a top?
    Looks like they changed the dogs mini keg to H20 or Cool Aid instead of Brandy...

    Not any dumber than people replacing their Shadow translites because they don't like Alec Baldwin.

    If they wanted to cover her up why not give her a life vest? Even the dog is rockin' a life vest, lol

    Safety first!

    That's a pretty unnecessary dumb change if you ask me.

    I'd bet money that this game was probably being operated in a country with very conservative laws regarding clothing in public. UAE and Saudi Arabia come to mind.

    Just check out how they regionalize some of these album covers and ads:

    This isn't one copy of White Water. It's the backglass for the digital version released by Pinball FX3. If you play their version of Wh2o, you will see this backglass.

    Gotcha. I bet they still do it for that same reason though, that way they don't have to individually regionalize them for other countries. They just create a single version and distribute it everywhere.
