sk1nnym1ke, do pcgaming w Please, don't post articles "this/that store ban nsfw content": it's payment system (like Visa/MasterCard) that want to regulate/take control of censorship above your government.

They could have implented this solution:

If you use payment service X you can only buy games A, B, C

If you use payment service Y you can buy all the games

Pyro,

My understanding is part of it is that payment processor says stop doing it or we drop you all together. Not a we won’t be involved but lose them as an avenue.

Their way or highway, no real middle ground posible

I hopped on during election night and boy howdy, it was a time machine full of slurs. The game plays great but dear god, it was bad on voice chat.

Zetta, (edited )

I play ~10 hours a week and have for the past 3 years, it’s no worse than any other game with voice chat in regards to slurs. Often times people will vote kick as well if someone is being a incel racist.

Although I do remember playing on election day and it was worse, so you might have picked a bad time to try playing again.

Many years ago, my nephew - having then just received his first console - asked me “Uncle, have you ever heard of an ex-box-three-six-tee?”

Mind you, I don’t remember exactly when he asked me that, but I’m 37 now; I was definitely around for the 360.

Have you read the title? I doubt they'll stop at porn games, no matter the quality. They could go against Chun-Li cheeks next, or Dead Island blood&gore. Don't forget that such groups of people led to burning comics, or DnD manuals or Harry Potter books.

burgerpocalyse,

there are many non-pornohraphic games that have been targeted and delisted, but even if there werent, are you happy with 1000 religious weirdos having control over what millions upon millions of other people can and cannot purchase?

Don’t you just love people that can’t mind their own fucking business?

YiddishMcSquidish,

Bro for real! Like I hate any porn game, as a game. Not as a societal flaw!

So you know what I do? Same exact thing I do about gay sex. I don’t do it, I don’t think about it very often unless there’s a funny joke to be made in a tangential way, and I don’t tell other people that they have to be exact like me.

Ffs, let people do what they want if they aren’t hurting anyone.

glitchdx,

but if people are watching porn or having gay sex then they’re not making babies to sacrifice to the capitalist meat grinder.

MrScottyTay,

They want people having more babies so the US president has more supply to pick from. It’s not been as easy since he lost his best friend that helped sort it out for him.

Wahots,
@Wahots@pawb.social avatar

They cannot help it. They literally think about it all the time, and there’s no helping people like collective shout or the crazies on the street. The unwashed ones with the “you’re going to hell for gay sex” signs.

I see the same people on the street all the time. And they think about gay sex WAY more than I do, and I’m married to a person of the same goddamn sex, lol.

Some people really need to cut loose. Generally, I’m not pro-drugs, but damn, they need some hard party drugs to reset things and help them get back to a normal life. Go to burning man, get a good job, then go hike the Appalachian trail or something, for Christ sake.

YiddishMcSquidish,

I would argue that instead of party drugs (which I assume is X, coke, alcohol, pot, and so on), I think they need a good ego death trip. I’m talking like twenty caps(or two wavy bois) or an LD50 of LSA.

I’ve got friends in both places, and I highly doubt God is gonna give you extra karma or brownie points for converting someone to a made up religion that’s like, maybe 200 years old, lol.

Go gardening. Volunteer at a big cat rescue place. Stop wasting your life preaching something that deep down, you probably don’t even believe in, but is distracting you from something else in your life that could be resolved with therapy.

Can we crowdfund a big lawsuit against those responsible for this?

TeddE,
@TeddE@lemmy.world avatar

Against banks? I love the enthusiasm but this is not the way. Banks as a whole have many of the best lawyers in the game on retainer (possession is 9/10ths of the law, and this industry banks on that and make bank.) The best crowdfunding campaign in history* is 800 million. The banks would be willing to spend at least that in their own defence.

*not including investments (nor blockchain)

Plus, a progressive lawsuit in this environment? Might backfire spectacularly - right now banks are cautiously picking on ‘safe’ targets. But with a green light from the supreme court the banks could go full Nazi. Yeah - there’s nothing good I can reasonably expect here.

  • JackbyDev,

    I worked a little bit for a company that worked with payment processor networks. This is my understanding (and don’t view this as a defense of them, I don’t necessarily think they’re good). There are a ton of banks. Every bank having their own POS machines would be difficult. Imagine going to one that doesn’t support your bank. So payment processors sort of provide that bridge so devices only need to know how to talk to one (or a handful) of networks and the same for the banks.

    Rekorse,

    Maybe there needs to be more competition in the payment processing space.

    ShaggySnacks,

    We can’t have competition, that’s bad for business.

    bamboo,

    Payment processors: “I deal with the god damn customers so the engineers banks don’t have to. I have people skills; I am good at dealing with people. Can’t you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?”

    And so the point arises, what do these companies provide that standardization doesn’t?

    assembly,

    The excessive fees.

    JackbyDev,

    There are standards already for the format of some of the messages. These options being subpar is how we got things like PayPal originally, so who knows.

    jpeps,

    There is this (slow moving, far off) EU project that hopes to bring a new standard. It doesn’t read like they’ve got a complete solution at all, but the principles are comforting at least!

    qarbone,

    When did they say “fuck morality policing”, or even “let’s all stop policing morality”?

    Either you piggy-backed off a comment to be a whole weirdo. Or you neee to up your reading comprehension.

    jumping_redditor,

    why not?

    kilgore_trout,

    The issue at hand is that it’s being made impossible to sell them at all.

    Iambus,

    Yep fuck morality policing and anyone who supports it, hope you all rot in hell etc.

    Rekorse,

    Applause for such a brave opinion!

    deaf_fish,

    No one with a brain is suggesting this. It should be up to the service and government to create rules to allow or not allow harmful content. It should definitely not be a payment processor.

    Rekorse,

    Businesses shouldnt be allowed to refuse service for any reason!

    dejected_warp_core,

    This is exactly like the pearl-clutching we had back in the 1980’s around D&D and music lyrics. At least we moved the goalpost from satanic panic and thinly-veiled racism, over to “art that features sexual expression I don’t understand.”

    If history is any indicator, their actions are only going to increase awareness of this kind of stuff.

    “They” here is CollectiveShout & they (as in Payment Processors) reversed the ban quickly (Because it affected women). Well Not in this case, this group also campaigned to deny SnoopDogg & Eminem Visas.

    JackbyDev,

    I thought it was obvious you meant Collective Shout.
