Official statement on Steam being pressured to remove offensive content

[rusty_shackleford]

People here already have a severe impediment of individual thinking but yea, most do not realize this isnt a war against steam, or porn. It should be a war against payment processing companies. I bet you all of the Americans here are unhappy about their money wasted on supporting Israel or random shitstain country support and aid, yet they give it to **** all the time through processing fees. As much as people like to hate on crypto, it is most likely the future. Also hilarious seeing people justify this as Gaben/Valve character development, Steam has had no restrictions for a long time, there are Hitler dating sims and furry games, there was literally 0 censorship to protest against anyways.

I just think porn is bad

What if you're the one making it?

I do not have jewish ancestry.

[Rumbles]

Yeah just like


Left- and right-authoritarians behave the same. As a true lolbert I wished for total payment processor power death in both cases.

I also think that, but yet again it isn't the main plotline in this saga. There are many more things they have decided to interdict or outrule, porn or NSFW content just attracted the most attention. We might as well give them positions in congress soon

No, I like it when libtards are forced to give money to support Israel.

[mercerxiv]

Yeah, I think the redditor reaction is less of a defense of free speech or anti-censorship and more of coomer games being taken from the people most hopelessly and pathetically addicted to them. If they bring the coomer games back you just watch the whole anti-censorship sentiment die down within 48 hours.

Well, it's the same argument libs loved to trot out every so often when it came to regulation they didn't like and we liked - oh, so if today they ban something you don't like then it's fine, but what if tomorrow they ban what you like? Seems like the exact same thing happened to them - libtards were completely ok with Hitler games getting de-platformed, or actively cheered for cases against shooters set in a particular middle eastern shithole, but now that it's turn of the gooner games they suddenly screech "muh freedom". Next thing you know gooner mods could come under fire, that would be so entertaining to see unfold xD If it happens we should be there to remind them how they have de-platformed any mods that turned characters white or straight and suggest they just start their own platform to share those.

Also **** off with crypto crap. If you seriously believe it's going to do anything against the establishment you're just as delusional as rabid leftists are.

We all know this is just the beginning. Today it's porn, tomorrow it will be meat. The end goal is to delete cash and lock us all into a global dystopia.

You promise?

We already live in a global dystopia, it's just really lame.

[rusty_shackleford]

so has a single game a normal person would care about been pulled?

It's about to get lamer.

[MrTwinkls]

so has a single game a normal person would care about been pulled?

If you are in Russia or Belarus then almost all of them 3 years ago. For Crimea it's since 2014. Nobody cares and it's fine. You can still use Jew magic to acquire Western stuff through Visa/Master/PayPal but why would you endorse such behavior? Payment processors or governments has always done things like that but when it happened to porn it suddenly matters.

[rusty_shackleford]

Yeah that sucked, I had to stop using my russian steam account to buy stuff 90% off.

[SpellSword]

I heard the Mouthwashing's dev has suffered due to Mastercard & Visa playing law maker, but I don't have the details. Not a game I'd really recommend though.

It's bizarre how they basically defeated piracy here in span of two decades but then ****** it all up in a moment.

[KOS-MOS]

Horror games seems to be next, apparently Fear & Hunger 2 got delisted from itchio?

[rusty_shackleford]

Horror

Fear & Hunger

Are you sure it's the horror that got it delisted?

Are you sure it's not the dismembering-gore-enemies with giant penises-rape scenes?

[KOS-MOS]

Horror

Fear & Hunger

dismembering-gore-enemies with giant penises-rape scenes?

Which part is not horrific?

[Stack of Turtles]

> Steam removes low quality incest coomer ai anime slop...



> ..because payment processors said so





I don't want freedom of speech dictated by credit card companies. I want these games to be removed because they are reviled by our cultural norms and the open market says: "this is not profitable - I don't want your weeb coom slop" - not because globo homo said so.

[Xenich]

I know, right? We shouldn't need feminists using financial institutions to strong arm sellers of video games just to get porn away from children.

They're making it so that no one can buy them, which is wrong. Payment processors should not be making decisions on who can use their services based on values of the people currently running the payment processors.



If Valve is allowing kids to buy adult games, this is a Valve problem. I'm not going to be a bucket-crab about this.

Have they considered putting their porn games on the storefront that's for porn games?
oh wait, they benefit from having their games advertised to children, nvm

This.

Exactly. When I first saw all this porn crap show up, I was completely shocked... I couldn't believe they would want their name to be anywhere near this crap. What they are doing is akin to taking the adult video store on the outside of town and placing its content in electronic section with all the other games/movies then acting like it is just "business as usual".

Steam and GoG are porn stores now that also sell normal video games.

"STEAMS A LITTLE KID STORE!!!11"

Doesn't it sell GTA / Witcher 3 / Cyberpunk.

If your gonna use "protect the kids" as an argument then don't draw the line at porn-slop. There's been sex and nudity on Steam for 15+ years. It's not "new" - steam just lowered the bar.

I'd be in favor of a return to games wanting to avoid the M rating.

Would prefer they clearly segregate the content though. Also, when I say I noticed this crap, I am talking about around 15+ years ago, not recently. They just have slowly gotten worse over the years to where the coomer stuff is plastered everywhere.

I think it was not too long ago when there seemed to be a lull in games coming out and then all of a sudden the pages were filled with Jap coomer games and the like. That is when I noticed it.

I am not trying to argue a position of "well, doom has violence, this DA had some sexual content, etc...", I am saying there is a huge difference between the content in the past which may have had some "questionable" content to that of full on dicks pounding and **** that we see today. There was a time when content wasn't like this and there was no frigging way people would have accepted it as it is now.

[rusty_shackleford]

Violence is cool

At this point it needs to go further so people get it through their thick skulls that letting payments processors dictate what people buy lawfully is a ******* bad idea.

[Roguey]

There was never any issue with the M rating, it was always the Adults Only they wanted to avoid because Wal Mart/Target/Best Buy/et al would not stock that, severely limiting the ways consumers would be able to purchase it. More accurate to say you want to return to the days when Steam as a virtual store had the same standards as the average retail store.

Guess they are branching out. I wonder how Youtube will handle non-account users.

why do you want me to support this?
