This is so annoying. Even though I’m not a fan of porn games on the whole, it is extremely irritating that payment systems can decide how and when you can spend your own fucking money. We’re not seven, anymore. We can take care of ourselves.
It smacks of the idiotic “babyproofing” of clearly adult spaces everywhere except bars, these days. Antiquated moral panics, just like 1954’s lavender scare all over again.
It’s funny, Patreon cracked down years ago on Incest content forcing indie porn devs to do *nudge *nudge *wink she’s your “Landlady” stuff. I guess paypal just assumed Steam was cleaner until now.
And then they release an “unofficial patch”.
Copy Epic’s model of selling “Sbucks” or similar, which you then spend on those games. Problem solved.
We already have Steam Marketplace. You can buy stuff with your Steam Wallet.
You can literally just “buy” stuff, and put whatever your currency is, in your wallet. so the transaction was already made, to no specific product. How are they able to track that, is utter nonsense. This is just the companies forcing them to do their bidding. I mean if those games have questionable content (and by that I mean pedophilia or zoophilia), I do agree with that, and I feel that is a responsibility from Valve itself, not other companies.
I think it’s not that easy. From what I understand, the payment providers enforce that for the whole store, otherwise they don’t want to be involved. Quite shitty, but they have enough weight to pull shit like that off.
Doing the right thing for the wring reason if you ask me. I don’t think it was ever a good idea to sell incest games in the first place, but banning them because they make payment processors uncomfortable ? Fuck that.
I don’t want payment processors to be the arbiters of what we are allowed to play !
While I personally have absolutely no incestual relationship desires, the only rational reason be against incest is really because there is the consanguinity issue, which can result in genetic deficiencies. Same-sex incest is for example, legal in Ireland and Germany.
Morally speaking… I too find it icky, but I’m pretty sure this is the result of how we were raised to think of it as being icky. As long as everyone involved able to legally consent, and there is no abusive power dynamic in the relationship, I really don’t judge. To each their own! Just don’t involve me in it! LOL
Even opposite-sex incest became legal in Sweden a couple years back. The law previously said “forbidden to have sexual intercourse with a sibling”, but they changed it to “forbidden to have vaginal intercourse with a sibling”. No idea if it was the (right-wing) government’s intention to legalize gay-brother-sex at the same time, but here we are.
They want to that bad? Why not remove those payment options for those games? There are a load of other payment options besides VISA and Mastercard…
Damn it… I was really looking forward to Brother Mother Buttfucker 2.
Is that a new song from PSY?
Any game featuring most kinds of animal, including people, is evidence that sex occurred. We should ban those too.
If a game exists, a person made it and that person exists because someone had sex. It’s disgusting how people pay to play that sort of filth.
What are these games? Steam is littered with these and waifu porno stuff… Not kink shaming here but what’s the attraction?
I honestly don’t get it either… And I have nothing against porn, but some of these just sound and look like cheap copy/pastes and probably with little to no interactivity or gameplay. I’m curious to see how they are now, if only for comedic value.
The more taboo a topic, the more it gets people agitated, sometimes this is channeled sexually.
Payment processors and financial institutions sure do seem to hold disproportionate amounts of power.
Rip Sex Villagers
It’s easy to say that Valve should make a stand, but wouldn’t be able to sell games anymore.
payment providers are way to powerful
There is no sex in
SUUS.This is not even exclusive to US. Those payment processors actually even tried to shut down some specific japanese dating sites/apps.
This has ruined my life.
You don’t realize it yet, but you have been saavvveeeeddddd by these wonnerful deee-sigh-pulls of Jesus! Can I get an “AMEN,” brothers & sisters?!?
🙄
So what you’re saying is we need a religious themed sex game? I think I follow. You have to fight your way through the 12 apostles and then you and Jesus bang. Its like Mortal Kombat, but with sandals and a lot of baby oil.
That’d mean Jesus was at least bi, if not outright gay. Hmm… might just test the waters with him in order to watch MAGAts completely lose their shit…
I just want to jack off to video games and feel bad about it after. Why is the world intent on interfering with my tear jerking???
That’s bad imo
