ProSteam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy.
SkullgridOn the one hand, oh noz, the incest games. Who will live without the low effort AI goon crap?
On the other hand, why do the payment companies get to dictate what sales are made? It’s my fucking money, or my fucking store. It’s not the job of the payment processors to determine if I’m buying illegal goods, just that the money goes from me to the store.
iAmTheTotWhy shouldn’t the payment processors get a say in the payments they process? Illegal or not, why should they be forced to process payments that facilitate things against their beliefs?
Steam could pursue other payment processing possibilities instead of acquiescing to their demands.
magnetosphereThings of questionable moral value have been available for sale for as long as money has existed. It’s not like this is new. Payment processors got into this business knowing perfectly well that some purchases may not align with their moral values. In fact, they’ve been profiting off it for decades. They don’t get to suddenly clutch their pearls now.
To be clear, I won’t miss the incest games. I just don’t like the precedent this is setting.
Processors don’t even deserve the right to even learn what morals even are. They are business entities, and shouldn’t have any rights at all, honestly. They’re just there to move money and shouldn’t get any say at all in what that means. None.
Honestly, (to your last point) fuck anyone who is into that shit in any kind of practical way.(if they wanna goon about it, that’s another discussion. But even with adding “step”, it’s kinda close to that vanta black color on the sunniest day.
But if having erotic software keeps them out of their siblings and parents and kids’ beds, then more power to em.
