    That's not a false equivalence, is the people that control how your money is spent say no more games then you get no more games.

      That is very extremely false equivalence. First, equating right to abortion with right to buy nsfw games is ridiculous. If I only could choose one, it would definitely be right to abortion and I would hope most people would vote the same. Second, I'm simply saying if a store doesn't offer what you want, why not support the one that does?

        Wrong people, again. Although harassing conservative puritans is always a plus in my book. The real issue is visa and MasterCard, which steam could absolutely fuck over btw.

            Because it isn't the store not offering what you want, it's the payment processors not letting stores sell this, that'll affect every single store on earth as they become more aware of it

                    For now. If the payment providers truly want this then it's only a matter of time. GOG can't function without them either

                      Boycott Steam. They were not even willing to fight back with the power of 5% of their annual revenue.

                          You do understand that without payment processors they lose all revenue streams altogether, right? Like, none of us can buy games anymore. The oligopoly in that industry is insane.

                            I think you are behind on your arguments, these days its "the girls aren't real so there is no abuse". Sorta sounds like "I want to express my desires to fuck children" if you turn your head a certain way.

                              No porn game is CSAM. The entire point of that acronym is that it stands for "photographic evidence of child rape."

                                  I thought CSAM meant literally "Child sexual abuse material" and that it is a better word than childporn because calling it that makes it sound like its some genre of porn which is too harmless of a description for it. That applies to drawn as well as real depictions. Both are material showing child sexual abuse.

                                    The term specifically exists to describe material from the abuse of children. You cannot abuse children who do not exist. The entire point is distinguishing the kind of JPGs you go to prison for, versus a drawing of Bart Simpson's dick. There's a reason that only one of those things is readily available on popular websites. The other one's a lot worse. Separating them is *kind of important.*

                                        Yes, I am aware they exist. I am asking if you expect Steam's *entire business model* to hinge on cards you have to buy at gas stations and grocery stores.

                                          I would say it gives them enough security to test if the payment providers would actually pull through with their threat. Which as far as I know they didn't try.
