Either you're a bank under strict regulations when you're handling that kind of money, or you have no business processing that kind of money. PayPal & co dodges most regulations due to technically not being a bank, but at that size they shouldn't be able to abuse loopholes.
Well my adult game content provider uses paypal and they have not been affected by this bullshit.
Is that because of using PayPal, or because they're small enough to have slid under the radar of these busybodies?
They aren't small, they make a shit ton of adult games. I original found their games on Steam. But found you can buy uncensored version straight from the dev. With Steam you had to get a patch.
That's what makes no sense the adult games on Sream were censored, so there was no prom to begin with. Unless you downloaded a separate patch. And you had to know how to do that.
I hope its PayPal, because if this happens to them fhey are practically out of business. Because all they make is Japanese anime porn games.
Wait, you're talking about a single developer? That's almost certainly going to be tiny. They might be relatively big for a NSFW game dev company, but that's still miniscule compared to what we're talking about here: Steam and Itch.
Uh, there definitely were non censored adult games on Steam.
Really guess it was just the one I bought.
What you playin?
