David Cage is editing Detroit to avoid certain subjects

Quantic Dream director David Cage isn't exactly known for straying too far away from sensitive subject matters in his games. After all, his themes are provocative, and the characters are designed to be broad and deep. However, what fans may not know is that Cage is heavily invested in editing his games so as to not stray too far into sensitive areas.

In the latest edition of Official PlayStation Magazine (issue 139), Cage explains that he just recently removed two scenes from the game in order not to needlessly offend players:

"Dealing with this kind of subject matter, where we deal with violence... I just wanted to make sure that whatever we do in Detroit: Become Human, there is no ambiguity and our meaning is absolutely clear.

"Honestly, I cancelled a couple of scenes where I felt the meaning could be interpreted wrongly. It was a very interesting thing for me because it made me realize that with Detroit: Become Human, that we are dealing with very meaningful things and that you need to be careful and be respectful and pay attention to what you have to say.

And that was scary but at the same time, once the fear has gone, you say 'wait a second, I'm working on a videogame, it's meaningful, it's important, it has something to say, it needs to be respectful, I need to pay attention to everything, but at the same time I'm talking about something."

Detroit: Become Human is expected to release sometime next year.
