Boycott Steam.

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

Blaming the wrong people. Blame Collective Shout and Stripe

Wrong people, again. Although harassing conservative puritans is always a plus in my book. The real issue is visa and MasterCard, which steam could absolutely fuck over btw.

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.

"just go the next state over for your abortion it will be fine"

Help us, gods of all false equivalences!

[–] shani66@ani.social 1 points 1 hour 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 1 points 26 minutes ago

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?

We met and decided, theres no help for you unfortunately.
