They might be referring to the 90s, post Mortal Kombat.

A lot of games got blood censorship in a lot of countries.

Even before that I know some games like Contra they replaced the infected "humans" with robots.

There was a time before the R18+ classification for video games existed that some violent games were refused classification (Left 4 Dead 2 being one of the most prominent examples; the gore and dismemberment were cut out, but the blood was still red and it was trivial to restore the gore), but that stopped being an issue about 15 years ago.
