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

Wow, I might actually have to stop using itch.io, is nowhere safe from the craziest anymore? I dont even make NSFW games, but bending the knee to dickheads over some overtly religious bullshit isnt gonna work for me.

thermal_shock,

Agreed. Game and movie ratings already exist, who the fuck are they to say what we can/can’t access with MY credit card.

I don’t play those games nor use itch.io, but fuck this nonsense.

PalmTreeIsBestTree,

The credit card companies have a word. They shouldn’t exist.

Croquette,

Credit cards companies forced itch.io to remove these games, otherwise they would stop processing their transactions, effectively bankrupting itch.io.

thermal_shock,

I understand. And my point still stands. Fuck them (cc processors)

Croquette,

Absolutely. Fuck payment processors

AnAbsurdlyAgitatedAnaconda,

I don’t think they had much option, they forced by the payment providers…

And thats beyod me, why they have the power to enforce anything like this???

And what is absolutely beyond me, why a group of alt-right femminist from the other side of the globe has power to enforce the payment providers?

BlameTheAntifa,

It wasn’t Itch.io’s fault, but the fact that payment processing has been globally monopolized and can force it’s own arbitrary will on anyone without recourse.

Blame Visa and MasterCard and the christofascist scum from Collective Shout, who is responsible for pressuring the processors into harming the stores and artists.

HaveMeOnYourPodcast,

Why anybody takes a “think of the children” organization seriously when their logo is a butthole is beyond me.

It just proves satire is dead and we live in a world full of idiots.

    Everone talks about porn and loser males. Its more than that. Its way more. The banned all adult targeted games, even the ones which are not porn or gore. Many-many gamers are affected, way more than sexually fustrated nerds. They now start to see, that they poked the bear, and it came with the wolf and tiger to take justice.

    I played through recently and I beat it but I distinctly remember thinking that I didn’t remember it being that hard. It took me several tries and very precise timing, I think I even ended up coming back to it the next day.

    Glad they are fixing it, though it makes it hard not to speculate more about an upcoming sequel. I think they will call it HL2 Episode 3 just to fuck with everyone.

    magic_lobster_party,

    HL2: Episode 2: Part 2

    They can’t count to 3

    atomicbocks,

    You’re right! But that means it will be HL2: Episode 2: Episode 1, just to bring things full circle.

    tigeruppercut,
    Contramuffin,

    My speculation? They’ll call it HL4 and then just say that HL:A was technically HL3

    BenevolentOne,

    Technically?

    moobythegoldensock,

    Nah, it’ll be Half Life Alyx: Epsiode 1.

    peoplebeproblems, 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

    Look, I don’t care if it’s fake or not, but beating trains is uncalled for violence.

    for all!

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

    magic_lobster_party, 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

    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.

    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.

    Wonder how long it will take for them to start going after LGBT+ stuff. Hope I'm wrong.

    AntiBullyRanger,

    They did, day 0.

    When monero based game store?

    OsrsNeedsF2P,

    The user experience of Monero is poor.

    While it is true that getting your first credit card isn’t exactly a 10 second ordeal, people at least have their credit card. How are people going to acquire their first Monero?

    Petter1,

    If people have to, they will find a way😇

    Laser,
    1. Install Cake Wallet on phone
    2. Setup Monero Wallet
    3. Click “Buy”

    It’s not that difficult

    Where the hell is left to legally buy my porn games?

    AnAbsurdlyAgitatedAnaconda,

    There all places. The problem is where to find adult games that are not pornographic, or morbid, but targeted to adults? Like games where the story conveys depression/suicide/death/griefing, or other difficult topics?

    Gremour,

    You might enjoy Martha is Dead game on Steam. That is my personally favourite game, which really stirred emotions. My wife tried to play it and got physically sick. Check it out.

    AnAbsurdlyAgitatedAnaconda,

    Wow, thanks for the recommendation! I will definitely check it out!

    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.

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

    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.

    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.
