AnAbsurdlyAgitatedAnaconda, do games w Itch.io apologise for "frustration and confusion" after delisting thousands of NSFW projects

My biggest problem is, they banned with this method, all the games that are targeted for adults but not porn, or gore. Like they hate spicy food and banned all things that are not white rice and unseasoned chicken breast.

It was really hard to find deep philosophical games which are good and are not containing porn or gore, but targeted to adults. Now its imposaible. They have literraly no platform. Unlike the porn games, they have many aside from steam and itch.

rather than reading an article talking about it

Good as a supplement, but the RPS article gives context itch.io is too much of a cowardly little bitch to include like: “Collective Shout describe themselves as a “grassroots campaigns movement against the objectification of women and the sexualisation of girls”, but are associated with outspokenly homophobic and anti-abortion Christian conservative groups, according to a now-deleted Vice article.”

Edit: and yes, the Vice article was removed because Vice’s ownership bitched out over covering Collective Shout.

Wow, holy shit. How fucking far Vice has fallen. There was a time they would go the extra mile to cover wild shit that no one else was doing. Greed and the wealthy’s critical need to have control over the media ruins everything.

I would understand forcibly banning/removing something, if it poses a real existential threat to the majority of people.

But religion fueled bigotry, in a place where you can CHOOSE to buy and play something, or completely ignore and hide if you’d like? Come on. Adults can decide if they want to have access to this content on their own, without a completely unrelated third party constantly trying to fucking inject themselves in between

MrScottyTay,

But think of the children!

Those are Christians. They are widely known for that.

Wait, they didn’t fix that with the anniversary update?! What the fuck?!

That explains a lot. I remember it not requiring that strict timing.

markz, do games w After 18 years, a surprise Half-Life 2 update makes it once again possible to beat a honking train on Highway 17

I thought I had done it, but I have only played it since after it was made impossible. I guess I didn’t

magic_lobster_party,

It was possible after the update. Just way more difficult.

It’s not difficult to imagine what kind of expression these groups might decide to deem as unacceptable next.

Literally the bottom line. They have found something that works, and they are going to use and abuse it.

MyDarkestTimeline01,

It has been my experience that when either side says that they are against cancel culture it’s not about being against the ability to ruin or deprive their enemies of something. They’re against their enemies having the ability to do the same thing to them.

I’m just learning about this and I wonder what has Steam done in this case to protect my rights as their client.

baronvonj,
@baronvonj@lemmy.world avatar

Uh … Steam actually did this same thing before Itch did.

gressen,

That is exactly why I’m asking.

Ugh finally. I thought I was having a fever dream about beating it on the bridge back in the day. I never realized the bug was that old.

I will never understand how to enjoy Kenshi, and I like Caves of Qud

From what I’ve been able to gather, it’s basically a sandbox. Imagine if F:NV had no main quest but allowed you to create your own faction. You’re just unleashed onto the wasteland to do whatever and let everyone else respond to it.

That is to say, much of the fun comes from building drug running bandit empires.

iamdefinitelyoverthirteen,

Or just killing all the big bads, which is basically all but tinfist.

tetrachromacy,

Same. I gave Kenshi a try and it didn’t click for me. Caves of Qud though, that game is pure unmitigated crack for me. Live and drink, friend.

dontbelievethis,

What state of mind do you have when enjoying coq?

Every time I start I get like 7 levels in and a dungeon deep and it all seems pretty shallow.

Which is a surprise for me because i thought it will be pretty much the opposite. Simple graphics, komplex mechanics.

It has to open up, right? But then why is it rogue-like?

Don’t know. Always quit it thinking “this is it?” and than starting again thinking “this can’t be it”.

Valencia,

Total opposite for me. Could get lost in Kenshi, I watched a review on qud in bought it and was like uhh wtf do I do lol

shani66, (edited )

There is just something about coq that feels bad. I play CDDA, i play elona, i dabble in DF, and i play the heck out of kenshi, but coq just doesn’t click. Maybe it’s the UI, maybe the game just doesn’t feel as deep or as rewarding to explore.

@BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz avatar

Opposite situation here, CoQ is boring, hard and you don’t know what to do or how not to die every 5 seconds

Also, I don’t like the art style

In Kenshi no situation is totally desperate

SoftestSapphic,

I love Kenshi and COQ, and Starsector.

Hate Mount&Blade tho lol

Couldn’t tell you why

Nelots, do games w Lo-Fi Games know you've spent a billion hours with Kenshi, so they're working on making the sequel's discoveries even less predictable

I really want to pick up Kenshi again. But the last time I touched the game I put 30 hours into it over a 3-day weekend. I fear for my free time.

Nelots,

I hope you're happy.
