This just makes it extra frustrating when many people reacted to these news with indifference. They are not visible by default. You can hide general tags and specific games from your view very easily. There is no need to celebrate arbitrary censorship by puritans or hate groups, just because it doesn't negatively affect your primary usage of a product.

I agree completely. I've never bought a porn game on Steam. I can't imagine buying a porn game on Steam. But I'll repeat my comment from last week when this news was fresh, in another Community:

I can't imagine buying a porn game on Steam. And even if I did, incest holds no interest to me.

Even so, I absolutely fucking hate this crap. Payment processors are killing off content despite the producers and consumers of the content being completely fine with it. This should be a Net Neutrality issue. But I'm not seeing anywhere near the same outrage over it that there was over ISPs doing the exact same thing.

I was indifferent, it's true. People who sell porn have had issues with the likes of PayPal and credit card payments for decades. I wasn't surprised by the move, nor did I blame Valve.

Am I bothered that it was instigated by this mob? Not particularly. If it weren't them, it would have been some other mob. They were only pointing at something the payment companies are already pre-disposed to disassociate from.

Taking credit for it is a bit of overreach. They pointed at Valve and said "Look! they have porn on their platform!" They didn't actually do anything.
