Honestly ive never bought or had a nsfw game on my pc that i actually played but steam wont have the same vibe without nsfw games and i kinda dont like the news

There will probably be unforseen consequences for this, but in and of itself I don't really care. Slop like that used to be freeware, niche, or flash games.

this can include games that arent tagged as "nsfw" like hentai games but just normal games with partial nudity might not be allowed aswell

But they will gladly accept your payment to a paywall porn site.

but does anyone know why suddenly these 3 biggest companies decided to do this?

But you can still use all 3 to buy guns and 10,000 rounds of ammo.

SteamCoin™ crypto loophole inbound!

itch just removed all its adult content. same reasoning as steam tho. but worse extent. freedom of speech and art doesnt exist anymore. seems they are pushing to remove more

but if it also means no game can have any partial nudity that would be the end of everything if its just literally porn games then i dont really care

Separate gaming and porn? Thumbs up from me

Great job muricans, you got the puritanical christian government to force their religious ideology onto worldwide consumers.

Yeah, ty, i feel alright about it

Both Itch and Steam caved to the credit card companies.

I think what we need is a game storefront that accepts crypto. Coingate is an example that can process transactions at websites using crypto.

Itch has a forum and there are people running interference for Itch but the fact is they run their website, not Visa or Mastercard, and they chose to delist the game in question and also shadowban all their NSFW games so they don't show up on searches anymore.

This is a dagger stabbed into the back of their community. Itch was created for indie devs, and they just stomped on one because it was convenient for them.

And they should know that this won't be the end of it. Now that they know it works, they will target more games through the payment processors. Will they step on more indie devs?

I've lost all respect for itch.io and probably won't do business there anymore.

Hopefully we get a indie game storefront that accepts crypto, and is operated in a country that doesn't engage in heavy-handed censorship like Australia.

The internet should not be run in accordance to any one nation's laws. If Australia doesn't like porn, then they can firewall their own country like China did. The rest of us shouldn't be forced to live in accordance to their puritanical beliefs.

I hope crypto will die and most wouldnt even notice

I also want to see the nsfw artwork and screenshots go as well because it is very displeasing at times to browse through games only to find mods or 18+ material appear on my page and even now the library’s page.
