As long as the originals remain accessible in some capacity for posterity, developers should be free to craft their evolving IP however they see fit. I’d just hope Reverge Labs is doing this because it’s genuinely where they want to take the series.
On a day-to-day level, most of us censor what we say in order to conform to social norms. If someone holds unpopular views, they are unlikely to share them with people they don’t trust. But this is not what we mean by ‘self-censorship’, but rather ‘social filter’ that we all practice, and for good reason. The danger is when this ‘social filter’ is slowly expanded to cover more and more issues, increasing self-censorship and further silencing speech and public debate.
