Comment on Github Banned a Ton of Adult Game Developers and Won’t Explain Why
Katana314@lemmy.world 3 days agoYou’re inventing further wording than what’s written. The game is hosted on Steam, and that’s the entity that sent the takedown notice - those are just the facts. Plenty of people blame Visa more than Valve for those actions.

None of that negates anything I said. Everyone is aware of the context of that debacle, you were replying to someone that wasn’t even drawing a conclusion from it.

What you said and what you meant were two different things.
The wording of the OG comment original comment absolutely lent itself to conspiracy theory level inference that it was steams fault.
They not only didn’t actually answer the questions I asked. They claimed “nobody is talking about it” which is demonstrably not true.
Further, they went out of their way to play what about blah, but didn’t give and explaination of how that related to the conversation being had or their original point.
Then you show up with language that could be taken one of two ways, and when I respond with proof from what I took from what you said “I now have reading comprehension problems” because you "didn’t mean what they said in relation to payment processors (which only entered the conversation because one person who was not the OG commenter brought it up), and I continued the conversation in that vein.
So either you chose to answer me on the wrong part of the thread, or it’s your own fault you were misunderstood.

The wording at the top level was “No one’s saying anything about any of it, which feels like that’s on advice from their legal counsel.” It seems like the main confusion was on the implication of the term “No one”. I inferred from the reference to legal counsel, they’re mainly talking about storefronts, not gamers, being silent. As such, I’m guessing you were eager to show how loud people (gamers) are on the issue; but that probably wasn’t the intended meaning.
In fact, I took the initial claim to mean the opposite; with Github taking action against Adult games in the same form as an attack that took place on Steam, it’s suggesting a common perpetrator. But I could safely assume most commenters here know Steam is not owned by Microsoft; hence that blame automatically goes outside of that domain.
Even if you didn’t take that implication, you can just look at the simple statements made; “Hey, this is like that other thing that happened. What’s in common here?”
