    I think we need to get this group to weigh in on the content of certain holy books. Surely as a secular organisation they will have no problem demanding that the bible and qur’an be banned (I bet I know which one they actually would like banned).

    After all we don’t want kids exposed to books that contain incest, sex, violence, rape, etc. I’m sure there are some parts of Ezekiel they will want editted at the absolute minimum.

    I imagine balkanisation would be one way to make them slightly less visible/insufferable, and you know they would love some factional infighting.

    This just makes it extra frustrating when many people reacted to these news with indifference. They are not visible by default. You can hide general tags and specific games from your view very easily. There is no need to celebrate arbitrary censorship by puritans or hate groups, just because it doesn’t negatively affect your primary usage of a product.

      I was indifferent, it’s true. People who sell porn have had issues with the likes of PayPal and credit card payments for decades. I wasn’t surprised by the move, nor did I blame Valve.

      Am I bothered that it was instigated by this mob? Not particularly. If it weren’t them, it would have been some other mob. They were only pointing at something the payment companies are already pre-disposed to disassociate from.

      Taking credit for it is a bit of overreach. They pointed at Valve and said “Look! they have porn on their platform!” They didn’t actually do anything.
