Please inform your bank that if your current credit card (Visa or Mastercard) attempts to manipulate your spending choices, you will be compelled to cancel it and opt for an alternative credit card, such as JCB.

Tell that to Americans.

Oh wait...

As somebody who only uses debit I am kinda screwed.... Oh wait there is light on the horizon in like 5-10 years

I'll continue to use my visa and mastercards as they have no manipulated any of my spending choices.

While I never intended to buy any adult game on Steam, several games I do own have "adult content" that breaks MC's ToS. Games like BG3, GTA5, GTA4, Postal2, Duke Nukem 4, Etc...

Censorship is a slippery slope, it starts with the things very few people will (theoretically) mind being taken away, and then it gets progressively wider and more encompassing as to what sort of content gets outlawed.

However when Collective Shout started the chain of events, they kicked a hornets nest, and people decided to fight back and not wait till it got worse. If you ask people, they don't actually care about the gooner games except for their removal being the first step in more censorship of our hobby and affecting games that might be excessively violent like Mortal Kombat, or Have political overtones like Bioshock, or maybe go counter to current political messaging like BG3, or whatever direction Collective Shout (or some other group) might try to take the censorship ball rolling in.

Combine this with other issues fundamentally changing the internet landscape in parts of the world and those same changes being proposed to the USA and you really make people fight against it all, even if it is just Gooner games on steam.
