First they came for steam, then they came for itch.io .

Wasn't the activist group Australian?
Sorry about them!

Can we not overlook that this was activist driven. Looks like this Collective Shout is only a 40,000 person organization. 40,000 people just broke content access for millions. Over a game that had already been pulled from the platform without their intervention.

Not even that.
Collective Shout later wrote that 1,067 individuals called and emailed payment processors as part of this campaign.
It's absurd. I'm just going to link to the last thread from when this was on steam , and repost my comment.

How the fuck can these goddamn censors achieve so much with just this much, while stop killing games has hundreds of thousands, if not millions of supporters and can barely get companies to do the minimum?
Just fucking anything worth doing needs overwhelming support, these dickheads can get it done with just over one thousand people. It's a fucking joke.
Yeah, this is incest and rape, incest and rape bad. wow, hot take. It's not about that, how fucking little effort do these dickheads need compared to how much fucking effort is needed to actually achieve something meaningful in this life.
These pricks are only doing it to try to limit speech instead of doing something to "protect the vulnerable".

I'm sure they won't finish there, and won't rest until porn in general is outlawed.

"grin and bear it" is not literal.
My bad, thanks for the headsup. Missed that because of the negation. So yeah my original reply is a mess but that doesn't change that this is existential and the community opposing itch doesn't make any sense.

I appreciate it. Not anything I can do about it. But it's good to know who to be possed at

bigoted crybabies
Actually highly organized American religious organizations doing this shit. They've been organizing for a long time and with trump now have a clear path to try and make the entire world suffer under their needs
Fuck the American Taliban

The most the payment processors can do is refuse to work for them. All the free games will still be available and they'll have to find new payment processors.
Like who? You realize there's only a handful and they operate as a single entity, right?

What do you mean "actually?" Religious creeps are most of that category.

wrote last edited by [email protected]The community taking it out on itch is definitely misplaced blame and a lack of understanding how much power the payment processors have.

Reminds me of: the venn diagram of religious creeps and bigots is a circle.

I can’t wait for every piece of entertainment to be flavorless gruel!
I hoard media for many reasons, including this one.

I have a ton of comics, books, and old games/consoles. My dream is to one day have a room dedicated to nothing but disconnecting and retro culture. A room that is not tainted by the current state of everything.

Yes, but the american payment processors are the ones in power and actually carrying out these punishments. They could've simply chosen to ignore that group and nothing would've happened.

True, given past history it's just a nice excuse

I’m tired of all this far right puritanical bullshit

Keep on going, it's a good dream to have! (Get a good insurance policy too...)

Collective Shout isn't a religious organization, they're a TERF one that basically blames porn for the existence of transpeople and has been trying to ban it from the internet entirely.

The end goal of every authoritarian entity is to control currency. Your access to food, entertainment, medical care, quality of life, etc. all go through your exchange of currency. If they control the currency, they control all of the above. NSFW video games are just a small foot in the door, I can see this encroaching onto every aspect of society soon

European independent payment processor? Nooooo, US's ass is so tasty to kiss...
USA is a lost cause already, but EU still has a chance. Get rid of USA-related anything. Let them sit there and eat corn and watch superhero movies.
Hey, corn is nutritious.
