Collective Shout Purge Sees Horror Games In Crosshairs
-
I honestly haven't had any such issues, any specific limitations you've encountered that you can reference?
I've been blocked by fraud protection when trying to buy pet food at a pet store next to my house, trying to buy fast food while visiting a friend in another city, trying to buy two cell phones in one day because the first one was out of stock and was refunded, trying to buy software from any company headquartered in another country, trying to buy crypto, trying to buy health supplements from a friend's company.
Supposedly, when they suspect fraud, you get an automated call where you can indicate a charge is legitimate and they'll let it go through, but I rarely got a call, and when I did, purchases that I marked as legitimate still wouldn't go through.
I talked to a real person with the fraud department, and she had no idea why the charges were being blocked, since, according to her, they should't have been. But also, there was nothing they could do about it.

The founder is a well-known Christian "pro-life feminist" from Australia.
She was the founding director of Women's Forum Australia, [...] It also promotes a trans-exclusionary ideology and campaigns against transgender rights.
Right so assuming she's not Lesbian, then her being anti-LGBTQ+ is a safe bet. If she somehow is Lesbian, she's going to be anti-BTQ+ at the very least.

I think all the higher ups are afraid to admit they consume adult content so they will act as if it's wrong.

If this is true, all gamers who care about this issue of censorship should collectively boycott those payment processors. PayPal should be especially easy to disconnect from since they already suck.
Yeah I already stopped using them years ago haha

Collective shout seems to have expanded its scope: games like cult classic Fear And Hunger have been removed from Itch.io, while horror game VILE: Exhumed has been delisted from Steam just a week after launch.
God, I'm getting flash backs to that lawyer who hated video games and wanted them all banned. He had a hardon for the gta series. Jack something.

So she's savvy with her words so people don't recognize the true anti-gay crusade. A true wolf in bitch's clothing.

Pro life feminist is an oxymoron

Gotta love the Collective Cunts.

It appears that in the future, Itch will allow creators to opt out of payment providers, meaning that it's probably on a per game basis, not per platform. That Itch and Steam are not making a per game solution now, is most likely because their current software doesn't allow it and they need time to rework it. Itch has promised various changes already, Steam has been mum afaik.
Source for Itch: "For NSFW pages, this will include a new step where creators must confirm that their content is allowable under the policies of the respective payment processors linked to their account.". https://itch.io/updates/update-on-nsfw-content
Interesting! Maybe it's a similar situation on Steam, but the payment providers demanded the platforms act immediately (or at least too soon for them to make such changes).
Or maybe Steam gets too many chargebacks on NSFW games and is ok with this? Lol

Yeah, because that's an actual payment option isn't it?

That is the intention. You could choose to convert, hold, transfer to your needs.

Right okay so steam are going to accept my positive vibes are they?
Next time you decide to make a truly stupid comment, perhaps you could put some effort into it making some kind of coherent sense, otherwise you sound like an utter prat.

Mate, it just requires an address to transfer to. Nothing stopping an organisation like steam from making a wallet and accepting funds. This level of new inconvenience introduced might make it more appealing, not stupid.

Google Play’s latest security change may break many Android apps for some power users. The Play Integrity API uses hardware-backed signals that are trickier for rooted devices and custom ROMs to pass.
