Thread 717634436

This is the heart of the issue, and it's not limited to creditgakis. Sony, Nintendo and Steam have all pulled variations of this as a reason to deny games, especially Japanese ones. This is the concept that has lead to 90+% of corporate censorship for nearly a decade now, and it is the concept itself that you should be viciously attacking. "Brands" that run vital platforms that artists and developers depend on for distribution should be far more accountable to those who use them than they currently are, and this needs to be codified legally. Anyone who's had their game banned from Steam can tell you how devastating it was, other storefronts are not real alternatives, they offer only a tiny fraction of the sales potential that Steam offers. Same with Sony and Nintendo, in fact, there is NO alternative to them in their space. Sony's policies alone destroyed an entire genre of Japanese games. This should not have been allowed to happen. Artists' free speech rights and very livelihoods are being infringed by private corporate platforms with zero accountability to their users. Thus I propose that any platform above a certain percentage of market share should be beholden to laws that regulate them as public marketplaces, denying them the ability to reject or censor games for brand or reputation-related reasons, on pain of lawsuits from affected developers. Something like what happened to Omega Labyrinth Z or Tokyo Clanpool should never have been allowed to occur in a market that was functioning properly. The system is broken, and it needs fixing.

Nintendo and Valve won

Steam and Itch chose to remove these games and shifted the blame to payment processors. Yes, payment processors ask storefronts to make sure there is nothing illegal on them, however those storefronts are then blowing it out of proportion as an excuse to purge games they feel damage their image. Sony, Nintendo, etc have all been gleefully censoring games from their storefronts long before this 'muh mastercard' shit started.

That's your new boogyman, commie. Blame it on Nintendo and Valve right when the payment processors started doing this. We going to ignore that this stuff started in 2023 on DSLite?

>>717634436 (OP)
never been more obvious

This applies to everything. Payment processors brought this issue to fore, but I'm doubtful that even if they're defeated that Steam/Sony/Nintendo will start allowing Japanese moe ecchi games again. Hence this; whatever restrictions are placed on payment processors, they should be placed on major storefronts as well, or this will just happen again whenever one or more of them decides some innocuous Japanese game "damages their brand". Pic related is a set of T-rated games; there is no good fucking reason why they should have gotten this treatment, and I can only assume they're just discriminating against Japanese content when fucking Z/M-rated Cyberpunk can have full blown dicks swinging around on-screen.

Screencap this post as a reminder in 6 months that all the games that were deleted from Steam will remain deleted, and Steam will go silent. It was always Steam's decision and never about mastercard in the first place. Shifting the blame to payment processor boogeymen allows these smaller companies to make it seem like a monolithic faceless entity is forcing them to remove porn games when in reality they just don't want to deal with any backlash at all surrounding them. Gamers fell for it and nothing will change for the better

contact the whitehouse saying that going after banks isn't enough and that payment processors have "reputation risk” clauses too

>>717635329
Nintendo and Valve only started asking for censorship in games and started blocking games only when the payment processors told them to. PlayStation is dead, who gives a shit about some third party company that removed games because of #metoo.

The whole point of this EO is to protect Trump himself and his acolytes. It will not be utilized to help you get your porn back. He already hosts a whole Christian council where they can plot all day to mess with your porn and vidya more than any leftist ever could. If you run to the DOJ crying about losing your loli stuff they will laugh at your face and hand you this as they shuffle you out the door.

Everyone in the chain should be held accountable at once to sidestep the game they like to play to obfuscate guilt.

Lol. Lmao even, you never learn

The problem is women.
Women everywhere are starting to mobilize against pornography of any kind, and anything that puts women into a submissive role, and will threaten to sue these card holders if they allow men to buy stuff with it.

When will you manchildren realize that Nintendo is basically the Disney of videogames?

>>717634436 (OP)
First they came for nintendo, and I did not speak out because I hated nintendo
"Fuck nintendo"
I said out loud calmly at the top of my lungs
They came for other people too, however I was satisfied and went to sleep long before then. I slept without a single thought of sympathy for nintendo or their followers. "Fuck nintendo" I snored as I slept soundly at the top of my bunk.

>>717635680
I'm in favor of giving them a grace period once all this is done, but I'm a bit cynical at this point.

This has been happening for years now, and Trump's made an executive order against it.
What makes you think this is some scheme of his
