Can't say which, but I can comment on the rest.
You know how there are several sales and events out there with seemingly no public outreach to indie devs? iii was one of them.
You can only have access to these if you are part of a syndicate that promotes devs. These are filled with AAA and publishers and a few indies.
These syndicates have rules and in the last few years, the heads of some of them are DEI pushers. I get invites almost weekly for DEI training or how to add DEI to games. If you want to participate in those events, you have to prove your product or group is DEI friendly. If not, change it or forget it.
This is why even AAA games have DEI still, because if they don't they won't be part of these events, and the loss of exposure is too much for most of them.
That's how publishers do that. The other is that if you want to be part of a platform, the publisher swears to the owners that your game conforms with basics of the credit cards since those are new rules that have been pushed for the last 5-10 years slowly.

I pissed them off, our deal is over. Gonna look for another one.

If you have made games with them before OR are Asian OR have published elsewhere prior, they will give you a pass. Nintendo is starved for games and slop.
Ironically a game I made in the past was a competitor to Mario and it was completely rejected.
I know what you mean, those shops are full of "hentai" games as well that are softcore trash.
