So what about every war game that portrays the Nazi invasions and Germans killing British/Americans?

Don't like the content, don't buy.

I'm glad MM/Sony are fixing this to prevent bad PR, but I find it absurd a big deal is being made out of a currently existing song because it's now in a game.

How about requesting for the album it's on to be re-printed without it? Oh, I didn't think so...

I'm sure now that this is known people have approached him regarding his song. If he is understanting as Sony was, he will remove the references. Nobody is forcing anything on anyone here. If you look at the original email from NSider to Sony, he requested them to patch it and remove it from future copies. I applaud Sony for taking this bold step. But here's a thing nobody can force things on anyone.

Plus the comment about the Nazi invasions. I think you should ask the veterans how that feels. They surely wont like it even if its a game. We are so insensitive.

They key is tolerance levels however.

There are many things out there in the world that may have negative effects on certain people/groups, but they choose to avoid/ignore if it's in passive form.

What I mean by passive form is things like movies/games/music/etc. Things you just don't need to purchase/show interest in. They are completely optional forms of entertainment.

You cannot run around trying to censor every single thing in the whole damn world you deem as against your religion. Now THAT is ignorant.

Obviously if things were forced upon people through everyday means, that would be different.

It just seems a lot of today's moaning and protesting

a) Surrounds religion/faith/belief

and

b) Comes out of the most minuscule of departments, such as a PS3 game

I think there's a lot more pressing issues out there than LittleBigPlanet :/

However what has to be done, is being done, whether we agree/disagree...

oh ffs all this over a stupid song :no:

Who cares, just remove the damn thing and let me have the game!

Um that's what they are doing :/

We're just discussing the reasoning behind it/consequences.

Don't need to get involved. I'm shutting up anyway, I've made it clear what I think, no need to hammer it to everyone's head anymore :no:

Thats whats annoying, you are still going on and on about it after the issue has been resolved. It's only making it a bigger deal than it has to be.

I'm replying to what other people have replied to me. Obviously a discussion on this topic was going to carry on, don't single me out please.

I said im finished anyway, just ignore my posts.

Um that's what they are doing :/

A patch wouldve been sufficient :p

At least in the internet enabled regions :D

Saves you getting one of those "Oh my we're upset, strike a lawsuit, it's not about money though, honestly!" lawsuits, 4 years later when MM have exploded in popularity.

Just a thought, but maybe sony also said no to patching because with a recall they can say

"oh, we sent you 1000 copys of the game but you sent back 950, where are the other 50? we are going to sue you for breaking the release date, have a nice day!"

Probably not.

With a weekend just before release date, some places would've been shipping out copies late last week to get them to people before/on Tuesday.

Not really, they will have to download a patch or never play the game online :p

They don't get to keep the song.

I think he's talking about the fact we get to play the game now, rather than waiting another week :p

Not so much about losing a song.

"before that crap went down"

What other crap has happened apart from the song being removed..

Doesn't sound like he's talking about getting it early to me..

The crap that went down is the game getting delayed.

Meaning he has to wait a week longer and essentially anyone with it now has it early.

Anyone nabbing it before this announcement is lucky :p All the shops need to receive new copies now, so none of them can really even break street date till they get them.

Not really lucky, just had to keep your eyes and ears open for any info.

Or be lucky, walk into Best Buy and have a store employee who knows nothing break the street date :p

Well they are both part of the same problem he is referring too? So we're both talking about the same thing.

In the end, nobody is lucky though lol.

    • The quantum search for Time's origin had an equally mind-boggling conclusion by Sayan Sen Image by Steve Johnson via Pexels A theoretical study from researchers at the University of Surrey suggested that the direction of time may not be fundamentally fixed in certain quantum systems. The work, published in Scientific Reports, examined how the “arrow of time” could emerge from microscopic physics and found that time-reversal symmetry can remain intact even in models used to describe processes such as energy loss and thermalisation. The arrow of time refers to the observed one-way direction from past to future in everyday life. In macroscopic processes, this is easy to see. Spilled milk spreads across a table and does not gather back into a glass, and heat flows from hotter objects to colder ones. These processes shape the common sense idea that time moves in a single direction. However, at the level of fundamental physics, many equations do not prefer a direction of time. Time-reversal symmetry means that the same physical laws can describe a system whether time moves forward or backward. This has made it difficult to explain why irreversible behaviour appears in the large-scale world even when the underlying rules do not require it. Dr Andrea Rocco, Associate Professor in Physics and Mathematical Biology at the University of Surrey, described this contrast: "One way to explain this is when you look at a process like spilt milk spreading across a table, it's clear that time is moving forward. But if you were to play that in reverse, like a movie, you'd immediately know something was wrong – it would be hard to believe milk could just gather back into a glass. However, there are processes, such as the motion of a pendulum, that look just as believable in reverse. The puzzle is that, at the most fundamental level, the laws of physics resemble the pendulum; they do not account for irreversible processes. Our findings suggest that while our common experience tells us that time only moves one way, we are just unaware that the opposite direction would have been equally possible." The study focused on open quantum systems, which are quantum systems that interact with a surrounding environment. This environment, often described as a heat bath, can exchange energy and information with the system. The researchers used this framework to study how a direction of time might appear even when the underlying physics does not enforce one. A key part of the analysis involved the Markov approximation. This is a simplification used in many models where the system is assumed not to retain memory of its past states. The idea is that changes depend only on the current state, not on earlier history. This is commonly used when studying thermalisation, which is the process where a system settles into equilibrium with its environment. The study also used concepts such as master equations, including the Lindblad and Pauli equations, which describe how probabilities of different quantum states change over time. Another related model discussed was quantum Brownian motion, which describes the random-like movement of a quantum particle interacting continuously with its environment. In these descriptions, a “memory kernel” can appear, which is a mathematical term that accounts for how past states influence current behaviour. The researchers found that applying the Markov approximation did not break time-reversal symmetry. Even when the system interacted with an effectively infinite heat bath, the resulting equations of motion remained symmetric in time. This meant that the same mathematical description could, in principle, run forward or backward in time without contradiction. The study further showed that standard frameworks used in open quantum systems, including quantum Brownian motion and master equations like the Lindblad and Pauli forms, could be written in a time-symmetric way. These equations are typically used to describe processes that look irreversible, such as dissipation and thermalisation, but the results suggested they can also be interpreted as allowing evolution in both time directions. Thomas Guff, Research Fellow in Quantum Thermodynamics, said: "The surprising part of this project was that even after making the standard simplifying assumption to our equations describing open quantum systems, the equations still behaved the same way whether the system was moving forwards or backwards in time. When we carefully worked through the maths, we found that this behaviour had to be the case because a key part of the equation, the "memory kernel," is symmetrical in time. We also found a small but important detail which is usually overlooked – a time discontinuous factor emerged that kept the time-symmetry property intact. It’s unusual to see such a mathematical mechanism in a physics equation because it's not continuous, and it was very surprising to see it appear so naturally." The researchers also noted that deriving a one-way arrow of time from time-reversal symmetric microscopic dynamics remains an open problem across fields such as thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, particle physics, and cosmology. Their results suggested that some standard descriptions of irreversible behaviour in open quantum systems may be better understood using a time-symmetric formulation of Markovianity. According to the study, processes such as thermalisation, which are usually treated as irreversible, could in theory be described in a way that allows evolution in either time direction under the same rules. This does not imply that time reversal occurs in everyday life, but rather that the underlying equations do not strictly enforce a single direction. Overall, the findings suggested that the perceived direction of time may emerge from how physical systems are modelled and approximated, rather than from a fundamental asymmetry in the laws themselves. The researchers noted that this perspective could have implications for ongoing work in quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and cosmology on the origin of time’s arrow.
