What does そういうのができたんだよ mean in this context?

Question

In the manga strip below, they received a report that graphics used in their game are too explicit. I am not sure what he meant by

そういうのができたんだよ.

What does そういうの refer to?

そう as in 「ああ、そうです。」; いう is 言う, and の is a nominalizer. If you already understood these concepts, the meaning should flow naturally. If not, where exactly are you stuck? — Karl Knechtel, Nov 13 '23 at 06:05
Does this answer your question? Difference between そういう and そんな — Karl Knechtel, Nov 13 '23 at 06:06
@KarlKnechtel The problem is that I don’t know what thing の refers to. — John Davies, Nov 13 '23 at 08:47

そういうのができたんだよ translates to "Something called like that was made" or "It's something that was made/established (recently)", where そう refers to the word そふりん itself, and そういうの refers to the new organization (ソフ倫).

そーゆーの is an informal spelling of そういうの, which is the same as そういうもの.

そういうの ≈ そういうもの: "something called so", "what people call so", "such kind of thing", "something like that"
- そう: (adverb) "so", "this way", "such a way"
- いう: (verb) "to say/call"
- の: (noun) "thing" (the same as もの)
が: subject marker
できた: "to be created"
んだよ: explanatory-no + copula + sentence-end particle

Thanks but I understand the grammar well. I just want to know what exactly の refers to here. Perhaps, this is the matter of reading comprehension, not Japanese…? – John Davies Nov 13 '23 at 08:49
@JohnDavies の refers the organization in question, ソフ倫. – naruto Nov 13 '23 at 08:53
