Reception
On July 22, 2006, Peter Payne admitted that Peach Princess had censored the English release of X-Change 3. A total of seven graphics had been removed from the game due to them being of a lolicon nature. Two other graphics were edited to remove tears, blood, and other details from a rape scene. An unknown number of speech and sound effects were removed, and the amount of dialog changed during the translation/conversion is unknown. After backlash from fans of the series, the company has claimed that they had no possible option to release the full game claiming legal reasons, despite having sold games of a similar nature, and continuing to do so.
While the administrators have said that they are willing to give a refund to those that feel they were misled, this is only a partial refund and there is no described process for requesting it.
A petition was created by fans in hopes of an anti-censorship patch being released by the company. Peach Princess later released a patch restoring some of the content. The rape sequence was put back in unedited, but the lolicon content was still left out. An unofficial patch to restore removed content can be obtained at the web.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“Aesthetic emotion puts man in a state favorable to the reception of erotic emotion.... Art is the accomplice of love. Take love away and there is no longer art.”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
