My bad and my apologies. While I see her point, I think her point will fail. An avid follower, 'connoisseur' if you prefer, of say Riley Reid may well recognise that she, or parts of her, are not real in whatever they are watching

Cutting languages makes perfect sense. Why should I have to download gigs of languages I will never use? Just give me the language option at the time of download? That of course makes for more work for the game companies.
