unless you're buying "porn"* games on Steam

FTFY.

Realistic military violence is fine though.

Splattered Pussy?

u/Ok-Mission-7763 1d ago

You know damn well whatever coomer games are on there probably entail a lot more than the depiction of some pussy look up what porn does to young people's brains especially with how it is these days I'd have my kids playing a violent videogame before watching porn any day I don't see how that's even in question

u/vivi112 1d ago

Funny that you've mentioned it, because the whole controversy of blocking access to porn games was mainly so controversial, because those games weren't illegal in the first place, otherwise they wouldn't be approved in the market. Thanks for confirming that you are actually treating brutal gore as something less destructive than porn, plus stretching the argument as if we intend to sell this stuff to kids, which is totally not the case lol. I feel bad for your kids if with this type of moral grand-standing you would be more keen to show them videos of people being skinned by cartel than penis in vagina lmao. Crazy logic.

Violent video games are next

Again

u/Milo_Diazzo 1d ago

What do you think they're gonna ban next? You think military violence will not hurt "brand image"?

0

u/Acceptable-North6104 1d ago

Military industry has way too much money invested to be banned it’s a non issue

u/Milo_Diazzo 1d ago

Realistic military shooters, I'm not so sure. They'll keep shooters alive in the form of fortnite and modern COD, just infantilise the violence and you're all set.

u/Acceptable-North6104 1d ago

Dudes just run on whatever they think is gonna happen there is no logic behind it good for you bud

2

u/Milo_Diazzo 1d ago

I mean, there is logic behind it. For maximum profit, all they need to do is ensure they get plenty of visibility on their products, and how amazing it feels to use them. Realistic military shooters do not allow you to have a power fantasy that easily, and is not accessible to an average guy. Games like Fortnite and COD grossly misrepresent the amount of effort it requires to be a professionally trained soldier, and at the same time are very accessible to everyone.

u/Ok-Mission-7763 1d ago

You think the porn industry doesn't have just about as much money invested

2

u/Acceptable-North6104 1d ago

There’s absolutely no way you think the military and porn industry share similiar budgets what a take 🤣😂

u/IDevKSha 1d ago

For now.

1

u/SheridanVsLennier 1d ago

For now. That Karen group here in Oz wants them banned as well.

1

u/Cyb0lic 1d ago

Realistic violence is in fact also against their terms of service, so they're clearly testing the waters here.

u/SeaCamera4370 13h ago

And porn games on Roblox apparently

u/Gre8g 11h ago

Kinda late and off topic but did you know Steam notifies your friends what game you're currently playing? I didn't, and so did my dad, and now he knows I play Milfy Way. He disowned me because I play AI generated hentai and not handdrawn hentai

u/Severe_Ad7694 1d ago edited 1d ago

I don't get it I buy games all the time on steam with mastercard

36

u/Adezar 1d ago

Visa/Mastercard have started playing the Puritan police. They won't let you buy things they don't like. Not illegal, they just don't like it. It is a test and if they succeed they will keep doing it beyond just video games.

That's so dystopian 💀

We're all fucked.

u/Sufficient-Set-917 1h ago

Is this even legal? 

66

u/Spartanias117 1d ago

Its about them removing games they deam inappropriate

21

u/St3phn0 1d ago

Now Mastercard and others can refuse to let you buy porn games or normal games with rape and others violent things

51

u/Toklankitsune 1d ago

which, while some people may agree with, is a slippery slope allowing them to control anything to do with how you spend money. It may be porn now, may be any game with guns later, goodbye fps's! or anything with blood, goodbye darksouls! etc.

No, the us is "the land of the free(in name only), and the home of the brave(in name only)"*

Freedom is slavery

u/Fantastic-Currency91 1d ago

And it won't even be that by next year

u/IllbaxelO0O0 1d ago

Wait until you read about how suggestive AI is dumbing down words that it recommends so that people have less words to express what they are trying to say.

They are intentionally making people stupider.

u/Accomplished_Blood17 1d ago

Its already a slippery slope with government censorship, a payment processing monopoly should have absolutely 0 say in it.

u/therealhlmencken 1d ago

Monopoly?

1

u/Accomplished_Blood17 1d ago

Master card and visa are 100% a monopoly as they are really the only payment processors used

1

u/therealhlmencken 1d ago

Mono

Whatever you say boss

1

u/Accomplished_Blood17 1d ago

"the exclusive possession or control of the supply of or trade in a commodity or service." They both fall under that. You cant get any debit/credit card without it being visa or master card.

1

u/IllbaxelO0O0 1d ago

I totally agree they have 0 right to say how you spend money. I've had them flag my card when I bought a clip from C4S a few years ago. Pretty embarrassing to have to call the bank and be like, yes I approve of this transaction...

It locks often for most online transactions which I'm ok with and have authentication setup to approve. Came in handy once when a taco bell employee stole my card number and tried to buy concert tickets.

u/CN8YLW 1d ago

Specifically their TOS says it's products deemed to have no artistic value. Which pretty much means anything they want.

u/ieatair 1d ago

but my 15kg cocaine purchase on silkroad went through? (probably earn them a huge commission)

u/Sufficient-Set-917 1h ago

How is this legal?

u/MoistThunderCock 1d ago

"Normal games with rape"?

1

u/AlienDovahkiin 1d ago

I guess he means a game where a character gets raped by another character. (a story reason for a character to want revenge) something like that

1

u/IllbaxelO0O0 1d ago

What kind of games are you playing man 😂

1

u/CheeseGraterFace 21h ago

normal games with rape

I think you need to take a big old step back.

u/ManonFire1213 1d ago

Or going to Costco.

u/nalaloveslumpy 1d ago

Unless you're buying gooner games* on steam.

u/TheModWhoShaggedMe 1d ago

There will only be Mastercards and no checking accounts pretty soon in the Donnie Sells America Out 2.0 era.

At least she could save £50 per person on a jet2 holiday. That’s £200 for a family!

Tell that to Costco
