Steam cracks down on some sex games to appease payment processors

  I’m getting really tired of payment processors deciding what adults should be able to do with their money.

  Same with lazy platforms and advertisers that aren’t even targeting children resulting in dogshit censorship across the internet.

  We’re honestly supposed to believe that with the advanced algorithms, metadata matching systems, and audience targeting systems that these fucks use, that they can’t tell with high certainty whether an account is an adult or a child, and allow the appropriate type of ads through? Get fucked.

    I’ve just been ignoring all the innane past in lemmy regarding this.

    It’s capitalism working as intended, and non taking Visa&Mastercard{Vanguard accountable.

      I’m honestly surprised that the processor shareholders aren’t demanding they process those transactions to increase profits even more.

  Some of those games are fucking disgusting and don’t deserve to exist. I don’t think that’s a credit card company’s place to decide, however.

    These policies inevitably end up being weaponized against LGBTQ+ people. Some of the games (like you said) I’m not losing any sleep over because they shouldn’t exist. The main concern is when something like homosexuality is equated with pedophilia. Or furries and beastiality. That kind of bad faith policy making has happened before and is happening now.

      I’m an ambiguous degenerate. I’d love those. All the games I’ve seen are made by incels for incels. Just terrible plot and dialogue by the saddest people who’ve never met a woman.

    Fuck Visa but I’m 99% sure it’s a law (or a reinterpretation/expansion of an existing law) making them do this, it just doesn’t make sense otherwise.

  I had to manually change my Steam settings to exclude adult games. The previews were showing CLOSE-UP hardcore porn games. After flipping through a couple previews, I decided to block. I’m a simple person who likes shmups.

    Adult games toggle is disabled by default, which means you must have enabled it at some time in the past.

      I wonder if it’s a legacy thing, I have never enabled it and I see them on my store page all the time.
