Lies of P's developer has removed an in-game ꦓsign reading 'All Puppets Are Bastards' for fear of the game being judged "based on any trends."

As first reported, early gameplay for Lies of P featured a decapitated puppet on a bridge, wearing a sign with the phrase "APAB" scrawled across it. This 💮was obviously meant to stand for 'All Puppets Are Bastards,' a play 💧on the ACAB acronym, meaning 'All Cops Are Bastards.'

), the player can be seen approaching the same decapitated figure on the bridge, only this time, the text on the sign reads "Purge Puppets," with the acronym being nowhere to be seen. 

Lies of P gam𒆙e director Ji-Won Choi confirmed to Sports Illustrated that the sign had been altered, with the original text removed from the g꧟ame entirely.  "That was one of the messages we were going to use in the game, but we ended up taking it out," Choi explained to the outlet. 

"We took it out eventually because we wanted everyone to enjoy the game exactly how we intended it to be enjoyed, and not ju𝄹dged based on any trends. We really wanted the world that we designed to be interpreted by the players exactly how we aimed it to be, so we took out factors that could be a little risky," Choi continued.

"We respect everyone who might want to play t🅠his game, and we wanted everyone to get the best experience out of it," the game director concluded. 

Lies of P launches later this month on September 19 for PC, PS5, PS4, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One. It's also a day one launch title for Xꦛbox Game Pass.
