- Comment on Steam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy. 4 days ago:
And next they will come for other labels deemed “against the rules” without elaborating. Porn is the canary. You can “lol incest” but this is about taking down what folks cant argue with first then the next will be porn at all, then queer stuff, just like tumblr
- Comment on Subnautica 2 studio will get their bonus, says Krafton, but it's not the $250 million promised 4 days ago:
report by Bloomberg says the sweetener would include a $25 million payout to be shared (unequally) among roughly 40 specific developers at the studio. All other workers would meanwhile get a bonus paid this year, an advance on the “projected 2026 profit-sharing bonus pool”. Although the amounts involved for those employees isn’t specified.
So… this was about the damned money
If what they said was true about “90% going to the former leads” then this math works but this is also them just keeping most of that money

They will be next as all of those also use the CC companies.
- Comment on Valve gets pressured by payment processors with a new rule for game devs and various adult games removed 4 days ago:
Its not different because in both instances it was CC companies being anti sex.
Realpage being a “den of CSAM” was not happening at any scale the CC companies were actively worried about and it was about defunding sex workers.
Same deal here. This is about control and puritanism.

- Comment on Payment Processors Are Pushing AI Porn Off Its Biggest Platforms [404 Media] 1 week ago:
They dont wanna be sued. CC companies hate having any sex work or porn paid for with their systems. Puritan shit, sex work hate, and throwing the baby out with the bathwater trying to avoid being a processor for CSAM which does NOT just simply go hand in hand for sex work or porn but they think it dows.
