Re: On The "Adult Games Censorship"
I have no objection to Steam banning games if Steam doesn't want the games on it's platform. I do however have a pretty visceral objection to payment providers imposing their will on their customers businesses - this is gross and shit and makes all the right-wing conspiracy theorists sound a bit less like the ranting loons… -
Re: On The "Adult Games Censorship"
Yeah, that's basically the problem. It's not that Steam or Itch don't want the games on their platforms; it's the payment processors dictating to them what they're allowed to have. That latter point is a problem, too. Right wingers....Really don't need to be given legitimate ammunition. They've got far enough by the power… -
Re: On The "Adult Games Censorship"
Well, who knows, and that's the whole problem isn't it ? We can theorize all we want about the motivations of this or that consumer group, but it still doesn't explain why Valve and Itch complied in such a way. Here's another not-so-great look : Valve sells Steam prepaid cards at Wallmart/Target, probably without age… -
Re: On The "Adult Games Censorship"
The infiltration into twitch advertisements for WAR was an eye opener few years back, them tucking their tails and running off after being exposed was very telling. Than come to find out C.O.D. franchise is basically doing just that, its like a physiological operation in the open to get people who crave to do these things… -
Re: On The "Adult Games Censorship"
simply more distractions from the Epstein files. They're panicking now, apply more pressure but yea it's not great. Itch.io seems to have also been hit, dozens (hundreds? thousands?) of games deleted https://itch.io/t/5119460/adult-and-erotic-tags-games-gone… -
Re: On The "Adult Games Censorship"
What I'd actually like to know is the grounds on which the payment processors were able to do this, regardless of the initial motivations from any given "pressure group". The Itch statement is very vague about what's actually going on and gives no actual answers. Couldn't it be simply a case of minors being able to… -
On The "Adult Games Censorship"
I'm interested to hear people's thoughts on this. I'd heard something recently about Steam removing some games due to pressure from payment processors, and today, I saw this article that says itch.io has been forced to comply, as well. Supposedly, it was due to Collective Shout, "a grassroots campaigns movement against the… -
Re: On The "Adult Games Censorship"
it's up to Gaben to save us from literally everything; Windows 11, destruction of our games, and now payment processors -
Re: On The "Adult Games Censorship"
If that were the case, why wouldn't it have happened before now? They've had nsfw games on their platforms for years. Seems more likely that it's a result of listening to the pressure groups....And seeing which way the wind is blowing politically. Plus, they were hardly unique in that respect; for 99% of porn sites and… -
Re: On The "Adult Games Censorship"
In a country where you will need to use your drivers license to access porn sites in about half the states, it's not a surprise other platforms are being targeted next. I see it as more book banning, more banning LGBTQIA+ content, more authoritarianism. Even though I'm not personally impacted by there being less access to…
