Talk:SUPERHOT VR update removes key story elements involving self-harm

Relevance?

hi there, I'm curious to know how this article is supposed to be relevant to the wiki, it just feels like a long shot to be included considering you didn't document what content was exactly removed. If it's a minimal thing like getting rid of flags that require the player to do XYZ instead of removing massive amounts of content, it's not exactly something that can be covered on the wiki.

Seeing as they removed the toggle, and assuming there are no Steam betas or other legitimate ways of getting a hold of an earlier version, I think the basic premise here fits for the wiki. It's a bit like the situation where Amazon changed e-books in people's libraries.

The article certainly needs to be expanded on with sources covering the controversy and the stances of external commentators though. Keith (talk) 01:42, 28 May 2026 (UTC)

Quite an interesting retrospective piece on the situation: https://blog.giovanh.com/blog/2025/05/14/superhot-vrs-story-was-removed-what/ Keith (talk) 01:51, 28 May 2026 (UTC)

I just read through it, and it's a great article on the matter. It would be a great baseline for helping to develop this Wiki page. Even I feel a little bit heated against the lead developer who made this decision, considering his intent was to completely remove all story content. JamesTDG (talk) 05:32, 28 May 2026 (UTC)

According to some reviews on Steam, you can downpatch the game to play the "uncensored" version. Unfortunately, I can't verify this since I don't have the game (I was planning to buy it before I learned about this situation).

That said, even if this is true, the same can't be done on other platforms. 185.65.133.109 09:51, 29 May 2026 (UTC)
