Valve gets pressured by payment processors with a new rule for game devs and various adult games removed
(www.gamingonlinux.com)
Steam may now remove "content that may violate the rules and standards set forth by Steam’s payment processors and related card networks and banks, or internet network providers. In particular, certain kinds of adult only content."
So far there has been a crackdown on incest games.
Recently in the news, payment processors forced Fansly to ban substance use, furry content, hypnosis, and more. So I'm sorry 
and 
gang but I implore you to do some critical thinking and read history. There will sadly have to be a queer/pervert united front.
I'm realy not sure where the intersection between hating Gamers and the shallow reasoning Visa should be the ones to set our moral standards. Like shit you must realize they're two steps away from labelling anything LGBTQ+ as "morally deviant" too.
Yes I'm entirely aware its whataboutism but I'm not sure there are any other points one could take. I'd rather put more direct pressure from movements and whatever direct pressure on Steam one can make rather than just looking at this as some sort of W because 4chan got their fav games banned.
Steam says payment processors got a say but realy they got the final decision here. It makes no sense to imagine Steam agrees this is good for them in the future either. In the future what is to say games from a certain country must be banned because Visa says so. Might as well substitute that for the US State Department already.
This is a slippery slope where a cheap W doesn't mean its a good outlook. With still 3.5 years of Trump left and the tariff shit still going I'm not surprised if eventualy they force region locking by default. Oh you're Brazilian? I'm sorry you can't buy because Visa doesn't allow this game to be sold over there and Visa also says local payment systems should be banned(literally current news).
People always think you're defending the thing too. Like I'm not an Alex Jones supporter but when the card processors stopped supporting his site I was already thinking it's going to lead to them blocking whatever they want, even if it's legal. I absolutely agree with your morally deviant point, I can easily see this leading to anything the morons lable as "woke" getting banned
Well you see gamers are removed so we must critically support payment processors. /s
For real, it's the same level of knee-jerk contrarianism as when I saw r/gamingcirclejerk defend microtransactions.
Is it possible encouraging
like that could backfire on them though?
