I don't care what gets delisted, I'm not buying your fucking monkeys
Yeah, I'm just going to a riot instead, like God intended

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.
Fear and Hunger appears to be back.

If only there was a method of paying people in a private and decentralized way, possibly maybe even... cryp"SCAM!"
"SCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM"
sits back down
edit: fuck American fascism! hugs the dollar for dear life
so which is it?
If people had used cryptocurrency as a currency instead of as a "it's totally not a security, we swear, even though we're only saying that to evade SEC regulations a little longer" there'd be a lot fewer people calling it a scam.
For sixteen years, crypto's only use cases seemed to be buying illegal goods and securities fraud. Finally, we have another use case presenting: perfectly legal transactions that credit card companies have gotten cold feet about.

"Man, I don't understand why unregulated currencies are unpopular! I'm going to dismiss the heaping mountain of examples of it being abused with no possible recourse as just people being unreasonable in their dislike! That'll convince the masses!"
I got robbed!
blames the currency
"God forbid I take responsibility for my own recklessness!"

First, I don't understand why processors give a fuck. Do they imagine people are going to just stop using credit in protest of how other people spend their money? Tell me another fucking joke.
Second, I'm not a game developer, but I suddenly want to make a horror game that includes graphic, exploitive, gratuitous depictions of everything they complain about. And name the game Collective Shriek.

Not every country has a corrupt securities administration. Don't push your third-world Americanism on others like its their problem.
Riiiight, let the fascists lead by example? lmao

The issues are layered but the core aspect is that everyone can get scammed and banks have protections for getting your money stolen while crypto doesn't.
But the more visible issue is just how the unregulated aspect of it being used to scam people predominantly has marred the topic for so many people to the point where people just want to stay away from it all. If anything I think it ends up being a good example for how people need regulation and we can't just have anarchy because people will take advantage of other people.
To add a metaphor, sure it's not the gun that does the killing it's the human, but regulating how the gun gets used does help with gun deaths a lot.

What does it have to do with monkeys ?
NFT is a very small subset of "Cryptos".
On a more serious note, you really do prefer VISA MasterCard to dictate what is to be censored or not rather than using crypto currencies ?

The worm that keeps getting put into payment processor's brains is that they might somehow be held criminally liable for games people purchase. It's like telling a bus driver that they might be liable because they gave a ride to someone who robbed a store.

So that's how it works. Maybe people should also start harassing payment processors for weapon purchases, buying fossil fuels, oversized SUVs and whatnot until they stop caring.

I would rather do all my online payments with direct bank transfers or even mail-in cheques than use crypto.

I hate corpos as much as the next guy, but I don't think that's a good rule to have.

Called it. Soon all we’ll only be able to play baby games like Elmo’s big adventure puzzle book land, or something like that.
It'll be some "evolution is the devil" creationism bullshit, because this is a Christian fascist movement.

It should also be bullshit in most if not all countries.

There also has been cases where people increasingly used cryptocurrencies as their national currency was subject to instability and severe inflation. Usually the governments cracked down on it hard, like in Turkiye.
Turkey to ban cryptocurrencies for buying goods, services
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkey’s central bank is banning the use of cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin in payments for goods and services, according to a decision published in the country’s Official Gazette on Friday.

That what I just dont get about this.
If payment processors think they are liable because these games cause harm then where does it stop? Supermarkets sell cigarettes and so on... -

They hate Elmo, too.

I think the biggest problem is getting any crypto which usually involves an exchange which is also dependent on the payment processors you are trying to avoid
Do you think it happen randomly that payment processors are unavoidable to get crypto money ? Because it's clearly on purpose and a way to control a market they didn't have any leverage on.
Still the take above of "I would rather support payment processors than Cryptos" still sound super dumb to me. People are so extreme on their assessment of technologies here. There is no nuance. AI is all bad, crypto is all bad that's pretty much the tone here.

NOW that they've started curating, that has become way more likely to actually happen. They could have claimed to be a neutral carrier before. Actively filtering means they've decided to take on that responsibility, and the consequences for missing stuff.
They're morons

Man, imagine how nice it would be if this were true.
