No one will lament the removal of No Mercy from sale on Steam, but whenever a net like this is thrown over an entire area of perceived problematic content, there will be well-intentioned games caught in the net too. Specifically, LGBTQ+ games are under threat - games that don’t align with the Christian values underpinning the pressure group Collective Shout.

Unironically it will bring more people to dark corners of the net, foul content was always free. Now i’m not going for these games, but also comparing the entire nsfw genre to specific games is disingenuous. At the same time violence and shocking real life images are fine, right?

Nsfw involves adult themes that aren’t sexual.

That means censoring the self expression of consenting adults.

This creates a huge bottleneck that eventually just leads to this growing in the back of the visible. Porn addiction is a problem, sure. How did pre-teens gain access to this content? Didn’t parents give them a fully capable computer at all times?

Back when i used a computer, I only had access to research and office, also flash games. Other than that I had other devices and offline games, on cd.

Modern devices have better parental controls but nobody uses them, old computers had virtually none. Turns out you can do your parenting.

The dangers of this privacy invasive solution is the exposure of personal ID to questionable places, while bringing people towards bad places, that don’t ask for things.

Kinda like pirating a game as a kid, because you couldn’t buy it, but you only got viruses afterwards. Same deal.

The kraft cheese has always been a cursed product if you ever touched real cheesemaking. Fair reaction.

I unironically started to dislike the bullet point presentation format, even the axios smart brevity format. I feel like it’s treating me like I’m too dumb to read a news report or a normal text. That why it matters feels like being instructed on how to think. It’s honestly bullocks and it was turning me into a worse reader.

The YouTuber noted that his opinion on the initiative has led players to review-bomb the company’s new releases. To avoid further harm to their reputation, he’s terminated the partnership indefinitely. “I am no longer working at Offbrand Games,”

The damage is done now. He isn’t likable, took a big loss on his part, almost took down his collabs with himself.

Let this be a lesson in being humble about your public appearence. He’s essentially being featured in some questionable forums, I believe. This was absolutely not worth it for him.
