There's always a gap between "Someone should do something about this" and "I should do something about this".

Once that line gets crossed, plans like OP's post start.

I like the story but hate the fact it's all in separate tweets.

Couldn't you just buy it on GOG or something? Steam sucks anyway why expend the effort

I love how facts are just rendered to perspectives now.

Hey now, why stop these people FROM CHANGING THE WORLD?! The stakes are too high gramps!

But how can I be expected to sign the SKG petition, while people in West Sahara live under Morocco’s unjust occupation?

I think the limiting factor would be getting your number blocked. Maybe someone could get a bunch of VoIP numbers?

Getting downvoted for wanting people to advocate for better living conditions, way to go .world!

Everyone has their path into activism and politicization. Last time this happened was when wikileaks got blocked by visa/mastercard, next time, with this experience it may be one of those causes.

Nothing like a gaming platform that won't let you refund your purchases after 2 hours of playtime.

I've never bought a porn game nor ever played one, but I just think it's stupid that such large companies fold to a lobby organization and start moderating the sale of products.
Christian fundamentalist activists are persistent and organized, and it's effective. I think it's bad how a small minority is able to dictate the lives of other people and I like how people get riled up because I hope it will remind the people in charge of those large corporations that catering to extremists is a bad decision.

TLDR: Idgaf about the games, I just hate it when religious zealots dictate the lives of others.

EDIT: I might have been wrong about "Collective Shout" and didn't look into it enough before forming an opinion.

EDIT 2: Yeah, I don't think "Incest Daughters BDSM" deserves saving. They seem to be primarily targeting rape and incest games, and I can definitely understand that you want to see rape games gone from if you're an organisation like this. Article
However, I still don't know how accurate their own article is, I might check out more sources/perspectives when I have time.

EDIT 3: My initial assessment seems to be correct, a large amount of games are affected and the “policies” seem to be enforced with a disregard for accuracy. The organization also seems to be more extreme.

Better than no refunds?

This is not about the porn. If you think about it for more than 3 seconds it becomes obvious how this is about the power finance institutions have over morals and society and how religious groups leverage moral panics as a way to weasel in harm and destroy minorities by associating immorality with marginalized groups. Just like pro-life anti choice has nothing to do with saving children, but is about hurting women and controlling their uteruses. Terfism has nothing to do with feminism but is about hurting trans people. Drug wars weren't about protecting the youth but about destroying the rights of Hispanic and black communities. And a long list of etcéteras.

This is about defending fundamental rights that will get trampled under the guise of moral and religious righteousness. It's about power and control. Porn is just the scapegoat. Several LGBTQ+ games were also hit, many which didn't even have anything to do with sex, just because of this incident. That's how it begins and it was completely intentional, the cruelty is the point.

I think you are confused about this it works. Steam absolutely does refunds after 2 hours of playtime, it's just that if you have less than 2 hours it's mostly automated and you don't need a reason for the refund.

Well considering GOP reps are getting 500:1 call ratio on the Epstein files people DO care this much.

It’s possible to care about multiple things at once.

Because Visa and MasterCard might actually change their minds. They are a business and they don't want this shit if it becomes more annoying to deal with gamers than it is to deal with random whiny Australians they'll reverse their decision.

Trump on the other hand is made of his mind and that's the end of it. Obviously you should still continue to complain because it's hilarious how upset he gets about it, but that list is never seeing the light of day until he's out of office, one way or another.
