Why are they doing a comprehensive audit on the content and not doing a comprehensive audit on new payment providers? I sure would be

brucethemoose, 22 dni temu

Because they would basically die off without the credit card processors, I assume.

RagingRobot, 22 dni temu

Yeah so they should shop around now that theirs seems to be problematic

brucethemoose, 22 dni temu

What I meant is that simply excluding Mastercard and Visa would turn away tons of sales and donations, even if they worked with every other payment processor on the planet at once.

They… could. But it would hurt, maybe even kill Itch.

My biggest issue with this situation is: if they can get away with getting games they don’t like being delisted, where does it end? Delisting books with themes or authors they don’t like? Banning the sale of alcohol and cigarettes?

DegenerationIP, 22 dni temu

Honestly haven’t thought so far. But Media lacks that, as almost everything is clickbait.

And you got a point. There is questionable stuff. But killing off a whole area is like a bit shot on a small bird

I mean, crypto is still not the answer so long as it is functionally a speculative asset even after all the proof efficiency improvements… Also it still has centralized points which keyholders could easily leverage.

Miserable fuckers, the whole lot of puritans…

Yall will hate me for it, but porn games should have never been on the main launcher. That’s just asking for trouble. Steam should have a secondary launcher that is just for the adult games, and keep the two seperate. This shit wouldn’t be happening if these games hadn’t been so accessible to people not looking for that in the first place.

Also lets be honest, some of the shit is over the line. There shouldn’t be multiple “Sex with Hitler” games, because as ridiculous as that sounds, normalizing Nazis and Hitler is a fucking virus that does so much fucking harm when spread. Its not just a “silly joke”.

Adult content is opt-in and age verified on steam.

Making an “adult content” launcher would just give more targeted scrutiny. It’s like saying, “here’s the target for you Puritans to attack the while company over!”

The only way I can think that kind of obfuscation could work would be to have the adult content launcher run through a secondary company under license to use steam software. But then, there’s still the pay processing issue, and that license could violate the processor ToS anyways.

I don’t think adult content should be stigmatized and quarantined. Why is a game about cutting terrified victims open with a handsaw cool, but a game about licking a clit needs to be isolated?

MotoAsh, 22 dni temu

You might have a point on problematic content for the same reason that satire is difficult to pull off, but the entire category of “porn” is WAY too broad of a line to draw, and neither should be otsracized completely simply for existing.

Guys hi, just looking for some support share, a Fantasy Adventure Story, for all ages and just some entertain with some storyes: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mVIvQ1wsgg - maybe you are curious

AllNewTypeFace, 22 dni temu do gaming w A Crusader Kings fan makes a small request

Also, they’d have to censor them depending on whether the characters are closely related enough to classify them as illegal porn

AmazingAwesomator, 22 dni temu do gaming w A Crusader Kings fan makes a small request

their payment processor doesnt allow people that have sex to pay for things. denied.

We should go back to sending the cash per physical mail…

Katana314, 22 dni temu

Imagine mail-order catalogs of hentai games on CD-ROM, or even cheap flash drives, in 2025.

Nikls94, 19 dni temu

Well if it hurts those companies enough, they’ll ignore that organization (the same that led to pornhub deleting 80% in 2020 and removing sex ed from American schools) that’s the reason for this bullshit in the first place.

Spoomis, 23 dni temu do gaming w One more time!

It would be funny if it weren’t so illegal. Wait, that makes it funnier.

Spoomis, 23 dni temu do gaming w I think my backlog could sustain me for a long time.

Yeah, but Steam has Duke Nukem 3D for $2, I’m only human…

hperrin, 23 dni temu do games w First they came for steam, then they came for itch.io .

I get not liking a game about SA and incest, but how about just not play that game?

MITM0, 23 dni temu (edited 22 dni temu)

Reminder they do nohing about all thise fujoshi comics which has rape & incest. They like cuties too. So the goal was destroying men"s outlet for sexual pleasure.

Notice they didn’t go after onlyfans

“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, 22 dni temu

I thought it was obvious you meant Collective Shout.

Boiglenoight, 23 dni temu do games w First they came for steam, then they came for itch.io .

Are we still doing phrasing also thank god they’re not coming for the ultra violence and graphic scenes of bodily dismemberment

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.
