You know what Steam is? It's like that buy you can also buy books, comics and rpgs there. it's a horror game about crew of a transport spaceship stranded on an asteroid after a crash. The name comes from the fact their ship was transporting mouthwash and the crew is using it as alcohol.

My answer would be that I'd see the companies in court. And I would make as much stinker around it as possible to make their reputation tank big time. Which did happen anyway, so itch could have been on side of the customers, but sided with big corproations isntead.

Except itch.io knew this was an issue since APRIL and did nothing to warn people it may happen. In fact, it looks like they were hoping to do it as stealthily as possible and hoping nobody notices.

At this point I suspect if I make something I will put it out on my own website for free. It is clear between this and AI that the scum will not rest until making living being creative is literally impossible.

GameSpot points out that MOUTHWASHING was delisted due to Collective Shout demands A game that is one of most brutal condemnation of sexual assault and patriarchal culture allowing it, that does not show anything sexual in itself, got labeled "pornographic". This is grotesque.

Statement from organizers of two Disability Pride bundles. I did try to access those bundles but one of them seems to be entierly removed by itch.io by now, at least I get error from clicking the link to it.

Yes there is. Until you adress it, it is impossible to treat your posts as anything but an attempt to shut down the conversation while ignoring true magnitude of the problem. In fact, it looks like you are trying to make people not pay attention to this side of the problem.

1. For many venues, like books or ttrpgs or video games, and many publishers - yes they are. Sorry to break it to you, but adults have right to produce nsfw content and be paid for it by other adults, who made concious decision to want to pay for such kind of material. For many creators those...

One where a corproation decides what people do with their money and what they're even allowed to buy. Not much of a "free" world.

The people who want to censor what other people buy want to do exactly that Also, there are people composing lists of games delisted by itch.io, this one has catalogued over 100 positions by now.

Then you are way too optimistic, much more than I am.

I have posted link to at least one petition in one of my previous post. If you are living in EU you can also try to contact Central Bank of Europe, which is supposed to enforce regulations that make the practice used by Visa and Mastercard illegal, but are not enforcing them. If we get EU to...

Again, there ALREADY are sfw titles being affected byitchio's actions just for being labeled LGBTQ+. People who want these games banned also want perfetly sfw titles like Detroit Become Human banned. They WANT you to think they just ban porn, but it is run by people for which qeer people existng...

There are Lgbtq+ creators reporting their sfw works are being delisted solely for being labeled lgbtq+

Even if one does not believe, like I do believe, that hobbies and art are inherently political, politics ptetty much forced themselves upon our hobbies here.

itch.io issued a statement and people in replies are, rightfully, pissed. A lot of comparisons to tumblr. Then you admit what the companies did was illegal and they should, at very least, revert those policies in regards to European countries? The company refusing to process my payment on...

Actually, in European Union, they do not have a right to refuse payments like that. The law not being actively enforced is how they get away with it, but it is illegal. This is VISA and Mastercard caving in to right-wing activist group from Australia that is on an active cesorship sphree, whose...

Well said on everything. When Steam put out their bans, I messaged Central Bank of Europe, which is supposed to enforce regulations making the practice of credit card companies denying procession of payments illegal, but are not doing their job enforcing it. People who live in Europe should try...

You do realize this is also affecting LGBTQ+ publishers or just L:GBTQ+ stories? For people who demands these bans an admission of LGBTQ+ existence in itself is pornographic. Hell, some games they do try to ban are there for asinine reasons - Detroit: become Human is on the list because some...

Credit card company has no right to decide what I can buy or publish for sale, it has no right to declare itself arbiter of morality and such actions are explicit illegal under EU Law. Moreover, activist groups in USA and Australia have no right to decide what a citizen of EU can buy or publish...
