I guess you haven’t been paying attention to them nuking and banning mods that they don’t like ideologically then?

What mods, though?

You are moving the goalpost now, we know about the mods, but this is compliance. They either implement this, or blacklist the entire UK and EU from accessing the site.

I'm glad they aren't just nuking every sexy mod from the site and chose to comply instead.

Loverslab would've crashed from all the sign ups lol.

The best example are the ones that replace "Type 1 / Type 2" with "Male / Female" in games where you create a character. Banned. Another is the one that simply replaced all the pride flags with american flags in Spider-Man. Banned.

I'm just saying, I bet they couldn't wait to implement this. They'll likely roll it out worldwide soon enough even when not forced to.

I love seeing conservative snowflakes complaining about censorship when it's literally the most stupid small changes, you make it sound like the game is unplayable because it's acknowledges/supports minorities in non-impactful ways.

But no mention of the games and mods that let you play out genocide/rape.

It's the pride flags that are the problem. /s

For the UK maybe. I still don't see why the entire EU needs to be affected.

Yeah, but once money got involved we had to start making regulations

1. Add censorship for mods containing adult (sexual) content.

2. Slowly move the bar so that more content falls under definition of "adult" (themes of violence, LGBTQ+ themes).

3. Continue to move the bar until desired level of censorship is obtained.

Well done, you've used moral panic to control your media.

Dark futures aside, why do I think that folks are just going to VPN their way in?

Can I get mods there?

Iirc only the UK law is actually binding, the EU, for now, got only guidelines, source Trust me Bro because its early and I feel not like doing research

Yeah, the kinky kind.

In NL it is so stupid, I am legally allowed to verify my age and gamble, but opening loot boxes no way.

Worst part is that loot boxes aren't even defined as gambling yet ...

Let's hope that new EU age verification system is actually good and privacy friendly.

I was preparing my verbal pitchforks, but it seems they have chosen a middle ground. they will only require verification for adult content, and only in the EU and UK.

which means that if you don't need adult content or you can use a VPN, then it seems it won't affect you. so they are probably doing the bare minimum required by law

Let's also hope for unicorns

Yes because giving up isn't an option
