My fucking god. You may or not believe me, but for the past 7 months, I've been almost completely unaffected by everything going on. I'm extremely lucky in that sense. This is the first thing that has gotten close to fucking with my life. I guess that I knew something was going to happen that would affect me. It didn't feel like something that would actually affect me. True, this is still mostly a minor inconvenience, but it's going to expand to include every M rated or slightly creative or provocative title. We are so fucked. My god.
is banning porn games on the same level?
no… not even a little, but i think it’s pertinent… these groups keep pushing harder and harder and it won’t stop. it’ll eventually reach you as a person; not just your interests
Oh, I believe you just fine... I'm just not sure this is something you should be bragging about.
Maybe you should also care about things that don't directly affect you. Just a thought.
I do. I legitimately do. But there's people that don't, or only care about their own groups. I care, but there's not much I can do atm besides talk on the internet, which if you look at my comment history, you will see that I do. A lot.
Then you should tell your previous comment.
I'm right with you there - freedom of expression is fundamental, I feel, and freedom of autonomy is not only a privilege to us as conscious, self-aware beings, but also a constant. Imagine a couple billion international people being told they can't have nice things or freedom by a thousand extremely conservative people from one country. This whole thing is a joke, but if it's any consolation the people will always fight back. We will always find a way to reject the doctrine of some buffoons. Chances are some people are already compiling a catalogue of every game removed from Steam in order for them to be available. The most low-effort controversial titles may not be much of a loss, but everything following them will be.
I think some people are already compiling lists on Bluesky. Maybe it's time for a new Steam competitor? One that isn't going to take the art of creators off for "controversial" content. The Itch.io CEO (which I first heard about 2 days ago) said that they're looking for more cooperative payment processors, so they might be bringing stuff back? No idea, I can hope though.
All for competition but how is bringing a new competitor to the video game platform market going to solve this when the order came from the payment processors?
Well, the marketplaces are the ones that bent if that makes sense. Apparently, Discover and American Express aren't named. So those could potentially be used.
I suppose, but do you really think a company will play with fire like that?
Not really. I can hope.
