We can have those games and we have them. But you have to make the effort to find them. Ignoring the grift is actually not that much of an effort.

Tired of all the Group Think Pavlov's dogs raiding every forum with their inane tripe about "wokeness"?

Absolutely. However there have been, are, and will be plenty of good and great games out there. Likewise, there will be bargin bin trash. That actually hasn't changed in the last 40 years. The only thing that has changed are the trolls using manufactured outrage and clickbait, that was borne from the rise of social media, as their desperate cries for attention. Games haven't really changed all that much. They just got prettier graphics.

yes man... ya esta siendo un poco molesto lo repititivo que puede ser

At one point, politics were banned from the Steam forums. It's allowed now. It was annoying before, but it feels worse now.

I have question for you: Is it ok for censorship and have been forced to comply to woke idealogy for 10 years (and now Visa and mastercard also started illegaly forcing their idealogy, which they have no business in) ?
And now people finally able to pushback and speark freely on the issue - suddenly it's a problem? what the heck is this double standards?

It's easy, all you have to do BJWyler is log off and go outside. Your 7500 posts tell me you're unable to do that.

What makes you think I'm not outside right now? Unlike the Group Think Drones and the Modern Age gamer, I am capable of doing and enjoying multiple things at once in any location I choose.

We can have them if people stop pushing censorship on each other.

Do you have any example of that censorship?

No , because I know that it will continue and creep in till everything is sanitized. Visuals and story content are integral parts of a game and the visuals are often required to increase the narrative of the story.

Social Activists groups will continue to use the payment processors till all lewd content vanishes but then another activist group will use the same method till violence is also toned down removing blood & gore. Then suddenly certain themes can't even be discussed and all you will be left with is sanitized slop.

So this need to be stopped at all cost and payment processors should not have this power, they need to be regulated. It's not a free market if they have a duopoly.

The payment processors need to just stay in their lane and leave what people can and can't buy alone. I hate censorship entirely because it's a slippery slope. I don't care what people want to buy but they should have the ability to do with their money what they choose. Removing games is only going to get worse in the long run.

Just play the games you want to play man, and ignore the noise. You want to play "woke' stuff, play it. I choose my own games that don't happen to be.

Plenty of games for ALL to enjoy

Just so tired of the woke/anti-woke BS thats been going on lately. EVERY game its just the same thing.... Can we not just have games that are good? With compelling stories and great gameplay? Just every time i open the community tab its woke this and woke that.... I cant be the only one to feel this way. The whole Payment Processors is a whole other story...

No, because "games journalists" made games political.
We don't have compelling stories, because inserting ideology became what got games good scores.
Blame the woke people for being totalitarian and injecting politics into hobbies for that.
And yes, I know what totalitarianism is, I spent my whole childhood behind Iron Curtain with literal Ministry of Censorship "approving" (or not) every single published movie and book.

There are thousands of games untouched by whatever you think is "politics".

No not really tired at all and seeing the downfall of the far-left ideology that was ruining western gaming (and western society in general) has actually been a huge relief.
