    Yeah, Mass Effect, Witcher, and Cyberpunk 2077 are just a few games among many that these groups would love to target and take down for giving lgbtq options. Could forsee a future where games have to start self censoring themselves to try to avoid demonetization. Best case scenario is they only censor in certain countries.

    So those who think it is just attacking porn games and don’t care because they play normal games will be in for a rude awakening if these groups get their way.

      steam and itch capitulated here because indy games are small potatoes. the calculation changes if they start going after $70 AAA titles selling millions of copies.

        They don’t need to. AAA developers will start backing down on their own because they don’t want to risk the confrontation.

          confrontation by what mechanism though? aaa devs can’t be threatened in the same way with payment processors. they try review bombing and that doesn’t do anything. if these people had a similarly effective way to financially threaten AAA devs they would already be using it.

        How do I go about ripping my collection? I got some NSFW games that I want to back up, just in case things get worse.
