You’ve fabricated a straw man, and appear to be furious at it
Comment on the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle
notgivingmynametoamachine@lemmy.world 13 hours agoI’m not admonishing the store, as you said it’s up to them to carry what they like. I’m admonishing you and people like you for trying to exert pressure on the store to not carry something you personally don’t like, because again, you’re not intended to be in charge of what others sell.

Visa and Mastercard literally used their influence to get a game pulled from steam this year. So much for your strawman argument.

I’m aware. Where did anyone in this discussion do anything remotely similar to that?

When did I (or anyone else) exert pressure on Steam to not carry this? My understanding is this is a decision Steam made.

Earlier this year steam updated its guidelines to prohibit content that “may violate the rules and standards set forth my steam payment processors and related card networks”
Visa and Mastercard pressured steam to remove a game because they didn’t agree with its content. Visa and Mastercard only care because they believe they end users care - that’s you, a potential end user of visa and Mastercards service.
You saying “I see why they wouldn’t want to sell the game” helps them to pressure steam into self censorship.
You’re speaking with an awful lot of confidence on stuff you don’t see to be very well versed in.

Steam hasn’t banned adult games. That is proven with a quick search of Steam’s catalog.
