You can allocate some of the blame to them for the way they reacted, but no matter what, you should direct the bulk of your ire to Sony, Nintendo and Valve for forcing this situation on them. If they try and dial up the ecchi fanservice again, there's a chance they'll just get locked out of every single platform like Tokyo Clanpool did. Unironically there needs to be a legal solution to this. If payment processors can get blowback and restrictions placed on actions they can take in the name of "brand protection/reputation", so should Nintendo, Sony and Valve. Devs that deal in risque or controversial content need legal safeguards from deplatforming; Tokyo Clanpool's situation has shown me this. There is no reason all four major platforms should be doing this. They need to be regulated as public marketplaces to ensure the rights of devs to access the market on a fair and even playing field. Call it the Fair Access to Markets Act or something. Point is, if you run a platform that artists and developers heavily rely on for distribution, you should have responsibilities to them, to treat them fairly no matter what content they deal in.
