I haven’t seen what I would consider to be censorship at all. Some “critical” threads are just harsh and mean, or simply irrational. I can understand the underlying frustration that caused them in some cases, but often, they’re breaking community rules and are closed as a result.
Other threads that are critical (either fairly or not) are typically left when they don’t break rules. And what typically tends to happen is that first the white knights appear to defend MS / Asobo’s honour, often with a wave of post flagging anything that they don’t like. That prompts the haters on the other side to join in, the conversation quickly devolves into name calling and other community rule violations, and gets closed.
That’s not what I would consider censorship.
