Why is Silk Cut removed from XJR9 Livery

[AJFast12]

Can anyone explain why the Silk Cut name was removed from the XJR9 livery in GT Sport?

Because cigarettes.

Tobacco advertising rules.

Oh, but i thought Silk Cut was a clothing line? I didnt know it was a tabacco company. My mistake, is there a picture of the product?

Plenty.

At least with the Livery Editor we can make the tobacco versions happen, too

The decals are also freely available in discover to make the Jaguar XJR9 car complete, been working on some fantasy variations
of the livery but as always time is against me as I have way too many projects work in progress.

Might make sure I finish this one for the XJR9 though!

Give it half an hour after the update. Someone will have a hastily done livery for likes.

I am actually looking forward to seeing the inevitable hatchet job of an AEG Olympia livery for the Sauber C9 Mercedes. Those that crave likes won't have the patience to carefully map out the white lines.

The yellow parts will be a 🤬 to get right.

Luckily I got other plans for the Nissan and leave this to people who are more skilled than I am

So if GT/Sony remove tobacco advertising from car liveries; why do they allow players to recreate them in the editor. I assume this applies to alcohol as well. There's a million Rothmans and JPS liveries

Tobacco advertising. But I guarantee you someone will make the actual Silk Cut livery.

 

[Rustyhole]

So now big tobacco no longer needs to advertise to kids; they have the parents/kids do it themselves. I mean I'm all for accurate representation in the liveries but it seems self-defeating

Polyphony can't put alcohol/tobacco advertising for legal reasons. However, there's nothing that would stop players from making those liveries.

Because D.A.R.E., that's why.

Given how people/artists are up in arms over DRM issues, how is a person uploading a corporations logo without their consent as to usage the same thing, I seriously don't get it. I'm not saying it's wrong, just that I don't understand the reasoning. It seems to me Sony should have to take reasonable steps to remove harmful/illegal advertising. Yes, I know that, in the tobacco case, they weren't banned initially and livery creators are just recreating history but as I can also create a livery with said logos on cars that never had them in the first place shouldn't at least those be banned. I think this will become an issue with the advancement of eSports like GTSport as cars with banned advertising will not be allowed.

They‘ll only be using the stock liveries of the cars anyway.
Would‘ve been a lot cooler if the teans or drivers had their own liveries at the World Tour races but I guess it would‘ve triggered some companies or their lawyers

It would be nice if they took the time to think that through and have some deal where they remove all brand logo decals from their liveries so it's cool designs and a number.

or just custom colors & wheels + #. I don't race online so for example if someone created a Rothman's livery can they race online in GTS now with it?

Clothing line...now I've seen it all

Silk that is cut, guess I could see how it's a "clothing line". Especially when one doesn't use the powerful abilities of the internet at hand and instead goes to GTP to wait for an answer...

 

[sparkytooth]

Why wear Supreme or Balenciaga when you can wear Silk Cut?

 

[sumbrownkid]

Personally, I’m gonna ditch the silk cut colors and go for the IMSA Castrol livery once someone makes it.

They do remove harmful images like nudity, violence, gore, swastikas etc.
Brand advertising wouldn’t be included

Yes, I have that game too and drove that car (as well as the Mercedes Sauber C9) with my G29 + Shifter. Amazing stuff. Now I look forward to doing that in GT Sport. Problem?

 

[Dan]

Man, all this time I thought Silk Cut was a shaving brand. I'm dead serious. I never considered searching the name to see what it actually was.

 

[05XR8]

Well, there were the ads I saw in Car magazine back in the day.

What? No. I posted that picture to show that others competing games are missing the silk cut logo too. I don’t know where you got those assumptions from.

I didn't get that idea from your post.
