Okay I'm stupid.
What's wrong with removing rape and incest games from Steam?
Edit: Thank you all for your answers, I was nervous to ask the question incase I would come off as a troll or ass hole or something and piss everyone off. They are very informative and have given me much to read and think about.
The issue is payment processors unilaterally revoking access to content based on what they (or a conservative hate group with a telephone campaign) personally find morally impermissable.
Well not sure about you, but I'd like to agree rape and incest is pretty fucked up so yeah it probably should be removed, so why should people have to see that on their computers in the first place?
This content occurs in the Bible, should it also be banned from sale?
What about old plays that contain similar content?
What about art that contains it?
The point is that visa and mastercard should not be policing it, if is legal to own you should be allowed to buy it.
Okay this is very thought provoking, and makes the situation more complex than I expected
But yeah, guess it should be up to the store and not the payment processors
Yes.
