Steam’s Adult Game Removals Raise Possibility of Crypto Payment Processor Scrutiny
Main Idea
Steam and Itch.io removed adult games due to pressure from payment processors, with advocacy group Collective Shout now considering targeting crypto payment firms to extend content restrictions.
Key Points
1. Steam and Itch.io delisted adult games after Collective Shout pressured payment processors like Mastercard and PayPal.
2. Collective Shout plans to pressure crypto payment firms to enforce similar content restrictions.
3. Crypto payment solutions may offer less censorship risk compared to traditional payment processors, but risks remain for developers.
4. Developers and LGBTQ+ advocates criticize the broad removals, noting censorship of marginalized voices and safe spaces in gaming.
5. Similar campaigns have previously targeted platforms like OnlyFans and PornHub, pushing for decentralized payment alternatives.
