Mastercard and Visa needs some serious competition. How come a payment company decides who to partner with and dictates what people use their system for. Ridiculous bullshite.

At the same time those "games" that were affected, well, who on earth pays for that seriously fucked up crap? People need to get a grip. I'd rather send a psycho team to evaluate people who pay for these games...

note: PCGAMER the epitome of games journalism. They didn't even checked which were the affected banned games.

They blacklisted games that feature incest

This disgusting trash should never have been allowed on Steam.

Edit: downvoted by mentally sick degenerates. This site is filled with disgusting people.

Unconvincing argument considering what was widely known about certain prominent politicians and their adjuncts long before they became as prominent as they are today.

There's no evidence these people were corrupted by games on Steam. Somehow they managed to become who they are by other means.

Why would having games on steam be the same as a person being an incest-child molester?

The games that were blocked feature incest. That means people fucking their own children.

Bad-faith argument. Incest can also be between adult same-age siblings or cousins (and not everyone considers the latter case to be incest).

Also, I don't insult or look down on sick or disabled people. Why are you?

Consider that not even a hard-line Christian puritan would agree with you in-principle. If publishers were forbidden from selling literature depicting incest, rape or genocide then the Old Testament would be removed from shelves. Clearly society has a tolerance for some of it.

You imply that people that play shooter games like the dea of killing people, and people that play GTA like the ideas of being criminals and killing cops and innocents, do this people also exposed themselves?

Do you also imply same things for movie watchers and book readers ? And metal listeners are Satanists right ?

If we let the Christian extremists ban something without any proof then they will move to the next thing and soon enough they will ban your favorite video game because it gives you the option to be bisexual. (I read about such extremists moving from Texas to Ruzzia since Texas is not Christian enough, it did not end well)

You could have opined that allowing certain extreme content was not a politically savvy business decision for US-based Valve.

Or that healthy societies have incest taboos for very good reasons, and Valve "having standards" would have had more social (plus lobbying/marketing) value.

Angrily insulting HN's user base, on HN, is not an effective method of persuasion.

You think I am trying to "persuade" anyone who wants to fuck their own children?

I despise these people. It is shocking that 99.999% of comments are NOT angrily insulting anyone who supports incest in gaming. The fact that I am in the minority shows this site is truly degenerate and sick beyond repair.

No I don't think they should be "persuaded". I think they should be in prison or receive the death penalty.
