Good point. I need to chill hahaa.
Heretic: I hear you, entitlement et al. I've spent close to 200$ so far on the game, FYI. I know that doesn't change the argument.

I owned an AFM for a couple of years and never even realised there was a Family Mode! It does seem to be a pointless mode to activate considering the mild nature of the lines. As many have said already - MM, SS, EATPM and BoP are all far less family-friendly than AFM.
Coincidentally, I used to play an AFM in a local Burger King and that definitely didn't have Family Mode enabled. I know the operator of that game and to my knowledge he never received a single complaint.
My big problem with Pro Mode (other than the relative cost of it) is that any change, even one that makes no difference whatsoever to the game's difficulty, makes it ineligible for any leaderboards. I personally always liked AFM on factory difficulty, so the only thing I would be changing is that darn Family Mode switch.

And you have to turn off family mode every time you go in because it doesn't save the settings. I'm not going to flake out until AFM is released. I hope they look at family mode on a pin by pin basis. Hopefully FS will see no need for family mode to be turned on in this case.

Since the overall game is rated E10 (Mild Suggestive Themes), as long as the DLC would be rated E10 with family mode off, we can ship it with family mode off.

I wouldn't think so. AFM is pretty tame on the quotes; MM is far more suggestive and it made it through.so.......does that mean the standard version of AFM won't be cut? sorry I'm too tired to work it out for myself

Its kind of hard to run at the leaderboard when the top scores are from a different table that scores billions family mode ON/OFF your not getting 1billion on BH.

Great idea. Point out what they forgot to censor so they can get to it next time.

Reminds me of the 'family moding' of a Pixar short called 'Knick-knack'. I get the reducing of the chick's boobs, but making them completely flat just drew extreme attention to it.

When did pro mode become a euphemism for "turning off family mode". While whether or not pro mode is worth it or not will be largely subjective, it's about having full access to the table menu and being able to change whatever you want... including family mode settings. If you pay for something and only use a fraction of it's features you can't say you paid the price for a feature. You paid for the entire thing and only utilized a portion of. There's no way that can be considered the product vendor's fault.
