It’s called “extortion.” The X makes it sound sexy.

Canconda@lemmy.ca 1 day agoA Action group of Karens who in the past have succeed in getting other games (one of them an rpg rape simulator) taken off of game stores.
This recent story they convinced payment processors to pressure steam into removing most of their adult games as well as some other site that I guess has even more adult games.
IMO if a platform decides they don’t want to host adult content, that is their prerogative. The people conflating this to “art destruction” or “censorship” are just another flavour of people who misunderstand what free speech is and isn’t.

“Remove the games or we’ll remove your ability to accept payments from 98% of your customers”

Free market baby. I’d wager you have crypto wallet if you the kind of person who cares about hentai games. Go support the developer directly if it matters so much.
Hentai games are not going to make the 98% of people who don’t play them care about Payment Oligopolies.

I think you mean “Monopoly baby!”, or are Visa/Mastercard not using their dominant market position to dictate what can and cannot be purchased?
Canconda@lemmy.ca 1 day ago
No oligopoly is when several companies control the market. Monopoly is when a single company controls the market.

Why is it a red flag if there’s nothing wrong with it?

You’re so right, and I’m obviously happy when things like this happen. Thank you, VISA. Thank you, Mastercard. Thank you, Capital One. Thank you, American Express. Praise be to God, guns, and government. Amen.
