Steam had already shown its true face, itch.io and GOG are fighting censorship alone. (reddthat.com)

Boycott Steam.

They were not even willing to fight back with the power of 5% of their annual revenue.

You do understand that without payment processors they lose all revenue streams altogether, right? Like, none of us can buy games anymore.

The oligopoly in that industry is insane.

Well, you could buy on GOG.

Help us, gods of all false equivalences!

[–] shani66@ani.social 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

That's not a false equivalence, is the people that control how your money is spent say no more games then you get no more games.

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

That is very extremely false equivalence. First, equating right to abortion with right to buy nsfw games is ridiculous. If I only could choose one, it would definitely be right to abortion and I would hope most people would vote the same.

Second, I'm simply saying if a store doesn't offer what you want, why not support the one that does?

[–] shani66@ani.social 1 points 21 minutes ago

Because it isn't the store not offering what you want, it's the payment processors not letting stores sell this, that'll affect every single store on earth as they become more aware of it
