A talk of boots and alcohol
Before I begin This is not a rant don't worry.
This is more a talk about the interesting decommissioning of thompsons moonshine. Basically as of 4.1.1 thompsons moonshobe was changed to the previously decommissioned spiked boots
Thus meaning Spiked boots does the same as thompsons moonshine now but thompsons moonshine is decommissioned.
I'd love to hear some theory's yall have about this and why it was done it's a answer we never gonna know 100% but it's a very interesting decommission

It was probably considered "glasmorizing alcohol"... Not sure if that's the correct word for it but that's what it would be called in central EU.
Really sad what we've become, if you see a bottle of beer or a cigar people already get triggered
"OH MY GOD BAN THIS MOVIE, IT PROMOTES DRINKING ALCOHOL AND SMOKING CIGARS!"

I don't think you know what 'glamorizing' means...

Are you sure about that?
Dbd is an 18+ game, most european countries require you to be 18 to buy alcohol so why would you be strict about alcohol in an 18+ game?
Also Clown still has VHS Porn and Cheap Gin Bottle, as far as I know.

Clown still has his add on for cheap gin and as far as I know there hasn't been anything law wise which links to alcohol and games China or else where.
Only thing I can think of is behavior slowly phasing out certain stuff like alcohol and mature themes for easier sales in much more restricting countries. Yet there's nothing I can find.

it becomes doubly funny if the film has excessive violence, we don't see movies getting banned for "promoting violence"

So interesting thing about that, some movies HAVE been banned due to their violent content.
This is pretty rare in North America (the US in particular mostly only bans films considered to be overly sexual), but there are lots of European, Middle Eastern, and East Asian countries that are not so lenient. If you want examples, just look up the array of films banned in New Zealand over the last 40-50 years.
If they are trying to soft-censor some of the various drug-referencing add-ons of DbD, I would only assume it's for better access to the German, Australian, and/or Chinese game markets (which are infamously restrictive, especially where violence/crime is concerned). North America (mainly Canada and the US), the UK, Japan, and Russia are all pretty relaxed about content (and don't ban many games, if they ban any), but they are only so much of the potential market.
