  You are right, let’s all do absolutely nothing when corporations inch themselves into controlling every aspect of our lives.

      Do you support incest and rape video games being globally banned from sale? I mean, I can kind get it, its fucked up porn.

      But I don’t like the idea of fictional smut, even if of particularly morally type of porn, gets globally banned (as long as its just fictional obviously).

      What people jork their peanits to as long as no one was actually harmed in its production is none of my or your business.

      Obviously, there is also the chilling effect of letting this slide and the anti-democratic nature of payment processors being the ones enforcing this. But I suspect those are unconvincing to you and you are happy this stuff is harder to get now. Am I wrong?

        That’s their excuse but they are banning all adult games not just the incest and rape ones.

        Fictional isn’t the same as not real.

  Nothing like a gaming platform that won’t let you refund your purchases after 2 hours of playtime.

    I think you are confused about this it works. Steam absolutely does refunds after 2 hours of playtime, it’s just that if you have less than 2 hours it’s automated and you don’t need a reason for the refund.

      Still, that gives them the discretion to turn you down.

        No shit… you think it’d be fair to devs and creators if you could just buy the game, play it for 15 hours and then get a refund every time?

    Better than no refunds?

      I’m looking for something a bit more reasonable. GOG lets you do it within 30 days regardless of playtime I think.
