Having already bought the WMS games on multiple platforms, I will only buy titles which were not released by TPA.

Was really impressed with some of the Zen features and UI.

But this censorship is horrible. Can't even show a mermaid? FFS!

Zen is choosing to target more customers by having an "Everyone" rating, rather than having authentic, original tables... this dude does not abide. I won't buy a single table.

Quoted from Fytr:

If the artistic purity of the game is critical to you buy the real game...

Silly comment. The beauty of virtual pinball is that you can have hundreds of tables without needing to spend insane amounts of money or have your entire home filled with machines in every room.

Quoted from Fytr:

To expand: virtual pinball already introduces so many compromises vs what playing the actual game that the minor “censorship” art changes don’t really even rate IMHO.

It's not just the artwork that is being changed.

Don't forget about the audio callouts, many of which add humour and authenticity to the themes.

Also, the video modes that aren't deemed family friendly and are being removed, like champion pub.

For some, this type of stuff is not a big deal. But, for many, this type of censorship is over the line and will not be tolerated.
