Here's what you must do if you wish and love games and to protect the future. Gross games and offensive games are always the canary in the coal mine for something worse to happen

And with the edits and censorship to remakes and all the like it already is an issue. But you all swallow that like crap on a plate

MasterCard visa and PayPal have superseded government power and now bully independent businesses and creators along with steam and some of the largest platforms on what they can and cannot decide for themselves to have.

This has been systemic against Japan

The confusion of fiction for harm has been decades in the making. From journalist articles to now what appears to be hate groups showing their fangs. Collective shout works with hate groups.
They are the group that defended cuties but lied about Detroit become human

They targeted no mercy because it was something easy to Target and now they're going to work with Exodus Cry and NCOSE( formerly Morality in meifa NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH the national Center on missing and exploited children.) As gross as that game was it was legal for sale and did not harm anyone. And instead of jurisdictions and credit card companies respecting differences credit card companies are absolutely bowing and bowing to hateful extremist groups as registered by the splc

Such as American Family Association and the Alliance Defending Freedom.




On July 2025, Steam, a popular storefront to purchase games on PC, and itch.io, a storefront that sells games, comics, tools, resources and much more, have recently delisted several NSFW games, after the group Collective Shout published an open letter to payment processors such as Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, and more. As a result of this letter, payment processors have strongarmed Valve and itch.io.

Collective Shout's actions have pushed payment processors to force both Valve and itch.io to delist NSFW games, which has overreached into delisting several games using sensitive topics for artistic purposes and LGBTQ+ games. Collective Shout has already demanded the removal of mainstream AAA games such as Detroit : Become Human and Grand Theft Auto 5, wrongfully claiming that these games are exclusively about violence against women.

Payment processors have caved to the outcry of a small, right-wing puritanical group who wants to dictate what adults can or cannot buy with their own money, and is setting a dangerous precedent that threatens the future of independent art on the internet. Many livelihoods are at risk because of the outcry of a niche of people who seek to restrict artistic freedom.

And this is all legally defensible because the guardian was able to show it

Trueman came to NCOSE after stints in organizations including SPLC-designated hate groups the American Family Association and the Alliance Defending Freedom. He has a history of anti-gay remarks: as late as 2009 he objected to David Ogden, Barack Obama’s pick for deputy attorney general, on the grounds that he had supported “the rights of homosexuals”.

26k seems like quite an unusual and specific number meant to create undue panic. Wasn't it only about a few dozen or so removed items on that one day?

It seems that he included entire "adult" category on Itch and counted it as permanently deleted - which is not true, btw.

And here I was, suspecting that this emotional, albeit low-on-actual-content post was the works of some bit and the OP even confirmed said suspicion.

Apparently it was taken down because it was breaking itch.io's rules. It has nothing to do with the content.

"Mouthwashing got delisted because their itch page was being used purely to funnel people to Steam to buy the game, not buy it on itch."

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/one-of-the-greatest-pc-games-of-2024-was-removed-from-itch-io-search-results/1100-6533495/

"This game hasn't been indexed since October 2024 since it doesn't meet our indexing criteria," the company wrote. "The developers are using a 'Download' button as a link to Steam. The developer took down any playable files form this page in 2024."

26,000?

Valve removes over 100 adult games on Steam due to pressure from Visa and Mastercard.
The games were not forcibly removed from itch. They made an official statement that they are reevaluating all NSFW games.

Collective shout aren’t right wing, they are a hardcore feminist group with several prominent member tied to the far-left Australian labor party.

Same with the online age verification bill which Australia is the first to introduce, all brought about by the far-left Australian labor party which now holds government and totally opposed by every right wing party in Australia.

It's interesting because this dev was just caught lying about the itch situation; they removed playable versions and their "download" button redirected to steam which went against itchs indexing rule, In 2024. :smokeybear:its still for sale on steam too. :humiliation:
"Go ahead, I'll wait" ......talk about sticking your foot in your mouth.
