    Nope. This was a rumor and the article title. Is misleading. Valve blocked NSFW updates of games that were originally labeled as SFW and then the dev tried to update with NSFW game elements.

      The also poisoned all of the Middle East. It used to be so much better before these dumb Christian fascists started to spread their homophobia.

        Lol, yeah right…

        As if Islam or Judaism wouldn’t be just as bad or worse if it was in the majority in the Western world.

        The Middle East, the last basion of the free world /s.

        Religion and forcing it upon others is the real problem here. Regardless of what religion it is.

    We need a FOSS & decentralized alternative to steam.

      This pressure is coming from the payment providers without whom no storefront can operate. We need alternatives to Visa and Mastercard.

        This is literally the kind of thing crypto was invented for, but the useful idiots on the internet are too stupid to see the value of it.

        Good job being morons.

      Uh, I think it’s called the world wide Web.

      I mean, I’m joking, but I do remember buying games directly from a developers website, that’s a thing that used to happen.

      We need a…decentralized alternative to steam.

      Customer protections would suuuuuuuck if everyone was running different variations of, what is essentially, a store.

      In the Reddit thread about the rejected NSFW updates, Crimson Delight have only good things to say about Valve’s handling of the situation. “I have to say the reviewer was kind and forthcoming, we didn’t feel threatened or bullied in any way, and we got the feeling they were trying to do their best to help devs navigate the process,” developer Frenzin writes. “But the fact of the matter is that Valve has payment processors breathing down their neck, and the rules keep getting stricter as time goes on.”

      “Valve isn’t the problem here,” Frenzin continues. "The big credit card companies are. If anything, Valve has stood up to them and pushed back. They could’ve simply nuked the 18+ section of Steam, but they didn’t, they stuck up for developers. Obviously adult games make Valve money, but it’s a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of Steam’s catalogue. Silksong itself probably earned Valve more than most NSFW titles put together.

      “Given that we’re erogame devs, we’re against any sort of censorship (as long as the content isn’t sexualizing minors or nonconsensual in any way),” the developer comments. “But it’s important to understand where the real problem lies, and it’s not with Valve.”

        Valve, the only corporate that one is supposed to bootlick. And ironically it’s a storefront for closed source software.

      Since the issue is with payment processors, we need to switch to crypto to avoid the censorship and abuse of power from banks.

      Anyone who doesn’t understand this is a complete moron, but they are average so average people won’t see it.

        this kind of mentality solves nothing. blaming people who don’t know an alternative or who don’t understand crypto is not going to solve this problem. nor is crypto a perfect solution by any means.

        you’re suggesting a band-aid solution and shaking your fist at “normies”. quite ironic.
