Credit card companies pressured Steam to remove some content that has incest/rape in it, specifically stuff that is easily searched because there is still content with it available on Steam.
Recently credit card companies pressured Itch to remove all NSFW.
The only common thread is that video game selling platforms are bending over to make it so you cant buy stuff where you see stuff that bends over probably because of religion n oppressed small penis syndrome or something.
I don’t know wtf that first one is so im assuming something similar but I dont really care any more because Ive got a pirate hat and a provider of my high seas who doesnt give a shit either.

It feels pointless until a corporate drone tells you that you are a part of the problem and about a new law designed to punish you for taking “shortcuts” in life. Like I have to pay an additional tax in my area to help salmon streams but a few miles away is an oil refinery that gets tax breaks yet the water surrounding them is devoid of life… somehow I’m a part of the problem and I have to pay for it.

I remember seeing it on the store shelf. Flipped it over and saw it looked like so many of the other FPS out at the time. Its reviews and place in history seem about right even if people are having nostalgia boners over it.
