ZOOM Platform that sell a lot of retro games, as well as publish upgrades for games, announced they've also been a target of payment processors for adult games.
As we already expected, NSFW games being a target was only ever going to be a first step. There’s always more to it.
Well said. This is a good part of why I took issue with the initial removals on Steam… tbh I wasn’t effected, as I don’t tend to play porn games, and if I was going to, I’d probably avoid some of the extreme themes those original removals had.
In my opinion, adults should be able to consensually interact with whatever media they so care to! Still, it’s in a platform’s rights to choose what they allow or deny… so I appreciate Steam being so open to mature content.
But payment processors should have no say in what is allowed on a platform. As long as it’s legal, they shouldn’t be policing transactions at all!
As long as it’s legal, they shouldn’t be policing transactions at all!
Well, they aren’t policing transactions per se, they are a lot more Machiavellian than that. If they were policing transactions, it would be much easier to fight.
