    People tried to ban video games that contained violence decades ago and were unsucessful. Interesting that banning sexual content is working.

    Is it? Looks like it's getting a lot of pushback

    Probably not, there's a reason the US military has spent money funding call of duty games.

    If you think people playing pretend has that strong of an effect on them you might want to avoid the Internet all together. So much stuff on here is significantly worse than Mario jumping on a turtle.

    Will it change someone individually drastically? Probably not. Does it have an effect on society and how it views military action around the world? Apparently so.

    The military spent funding researching astral projection. That doesn't mean it's a thing.

    is there any EU law that prohibits this itch/steam situation and the mastercard email contact information?

    I

    Would this not fall under collision?

    I guess in the UK, Competitive Markets Authority may be interested if all companies in a space are colluding preventing effective competition.

    Not sure if they have teeth though.

    It might be because of child abuse themes and the portrayal of robot sex workers. It has been criticized before.

    We knew right from the start that Detroit: Become Human was going to be heavy going. The 2016 and 2017 trailers both featured children in peril: first a child dangled from a rooftop, then a young girl being beaten by her father, but David Cage defended the dark subject matter with the promise that “there’s a context in the story, there’s a reason for that”, and we gave the game the benefit of the doubt. The problem is that having now seen the game in full it is clear that Cage’s child abuse narrative isn’t content with just one scene, and definitely isn’t used with care, context, and solid reasoning.

    ‘Detroit: Become Human’: Exploitative and Tasteless

    I'm not sure if I agree with this sentiment. I feel like it was mostly focused on the way Kara goes out of her way to protect Alice, but I can kind of understand how someone else could see this differently.

    P

    I truly could not care less what they claim their reasoning is. I've played the game. I know how it handles things like child abuse.

    This is not a game that should even be included in any conversation about censorship. The idea is fucking absurd.
