One thing a lot of people pushing to ban content like what's just been nuked on Steam tend to forget is that it is all FICTIONAL CONTENT NOT INVOLVING REAL HUMANS.
Sure some people may be squicked out by the themes in them, but it's better for society for people 'in to' such content to engage with interactive fantasy for catharsis and moderating such wants instead of acting out on real humans - "violent video games" like DOOM and QUAKE had certain people in the 90's acting out in Moral Panics, but there's evidence to show having such games as an outlet reduces the chance of someone acting out violence on people around them by giving them a grounding outlet to work through their emotions and thoughts in a world of bits and bytes.
Corporations such as Banks and Payment Processors should have NO SAY in how people use their money online, it should be up to the person making the payment to decide on if to buy something that may or may not have involved harming real humans during its creation or transport.
Just like how it should be up to the parent of a child if certain types of video games are allowed in the house, and not a retail company or government-of-the-day provided the game has passed the independent national rating board (see: Karen's trying to pressure retail chains in to removing GTA 5 from store shelves in Australia despite the R18+ rating from the OFLC/ACB meaning it passed national government regulation) or otherwise has a rating provided by a third party that is standardised (see: ESRB and IARC).
Additionally;
I hate Plagarised Information Synthesis System content (LLM's are Artificial, but not "Intelligent") as a way for companies to line their pockets and shaft human creators, but this is the wrong way to go about dealing with it for anybody considering using such a censorship tactic to quash the Slop.

Like a few other posters, I too remember when all the major payment platforms at once decided that giving your money to Wikileaks was verboten.
Ultimately, Paypal probably shouldn't exist. There should be a secure international payment system run by an international body like the UN or some consortium of governments, that lets you use your money on the internet straight from your bank account. People have become dependent on the internet as a way to buy things they need--my dad gets his groceries that way because he's old and mostly blind so it's very hard to go to the grocery store. It's not a frill, it's important, and I see no reason why some private gatekeeper should be skimming fees off every transaction.

Performing actual incest is illegal, media showing (pretended) incest is not. This is not at all about incest, this is 100% about sex. I have personally been on the negotiation table to get access to various card payment providers and they all have stipulations that they will not support your business if you deal in weapons, drugs or porn. Steam/Valve have zero leverage here except to create their own payment platform (which is hairy and would require to seek bank licensing in all countries so also costly and a regulatory hell).
What we need are governmental regulation stipulating that payment providers cannot dictate what you sell as long as you are not breaking any laws.

To make it clear, I am no more in support of censorship than anyone else on this site.
But no one has addressed the elephant in the room here. Look over the list of the games being banned. The topic of these games is incest. Now, I can't speak to European regulations -- nor can I speak to Japanese ones either -- but here in North America, incest is illegal.
Could it be just as simple that the payment processors are just protecting themselves, should one of the federal governments choose to see their accepting payments for material of this nature as financially supporting illegal activities?
Is it appropriate for these corporations to be enforcing morality? No -- but do you really think that any of the North American governments are going to step in and slap their wrists for doing so? The governments have been allowing the corporations to interfere in the area of regulation more and more these days. I highly doubt they'll do even so much as peep about the matter.
Personally, I like the suggestion from @Cybolic on how Valve should handle the matter.

A bit off-topic:
PayPal also tried to infantilize consumers of e-cigarettes in Germany.
I know some cases where online stores were admonished by PayPal.
So they said: "Why do you think we are dependent on you? We offer enough other payment methods. So who cares?"
Long story short: You still can pay everywhere with PayPal for your e-cigarettes

I think some of you are giving the mid-level managers too much credit for intelligence here. They would have pushed for an online-only game strictly because their slipshod market "research" tells them that this is what consumers want. Microtransactions are an added benefit. Other than that, I doubt very little thought was put into the decision. Not unexpected that they would be so out of touch. Trends, not innovation, are all that matter to those type of people.

I'm pretty sure it already worked on day one, as I went to an in-person gathering for the event and saw someone running it on Steam Deck (but it might have been Ally X). I myself play it on Bazzite, though only a week later, as I spent around a week rerolling on phone (you can't reroll on PC).
Regardless, the game is REALLY fun. You don't really get it just doing the tutorial. You start a career... And then everything clicks. The game is deceptively simple. At the heart, it's an athlete sports management game. You get to raise the girls' stats through training, acquire skills that works well with their races, while balancing between racing, training, resting, and recreation (plus healing, if you messed up). Then... You watch them race. And boy does it work - it's really tense as you hope she wins, and while I was initially meh on the idol aspect, as soon as I got invested in the girls I am on-board with seeing them at the center of the stage.
In any case, this game has been consuming ALL of my algorithm (and friends IRL and online). Even my Instagram recommendation feed is all Uma even though I barely play it. After Blue Archive being pretty rough, I was afraid this would have issues, but Cygames remains pretty good with the first ShadowVerse, ShadowVerse Worlds Beyond, and now this.
Still, it does mean I am once again a Cygames slave, with me playing nothing but SVWB (just got Master) and Uma for the past month.

I won't miss any of the newly censored games, but I have an extreme problem with corporations forcing their morals and beliefs on us. Regulation isn't their job, it's the government's. A constitution banning censorship isn't worth the paper it's written on, if we tolerate corporations to do it instead.
Who can say for sure that the prudish suits at Visa/Mastercard/PayPal won't decide tomorrow morning that D&D is satanic after all, and demand taking down Baldur's Gate 3?
This has to stop somewhere. I didn't elect the CEO of Visa or Mastercard to decide what kind of content I can see or buy. Personally, I would love to see Visa and Mastercard socialized and their current workforce being DOGE-ed. The thought of having 2-3 corporations around that can nuke any company anywhere on Earth, at any time they please, just by refusing to do business with them, is more than a bit chilling.
But unfortunately I can't see the Land of the Free (Enterprise) to do anything about it. So, looking at the recent success of the Stop Killing Games petition, someone in the EU needs to set up a petition asking for a law that would compel gatekeeping businesses to do business with ANYONE as long as it's legal. That would solve the problem, too. But I unfortunately don't live there.

That old title was impossible to remember for me, and I spent months to years trying. Every couple of months I thought to look at the news, or catch up on the progress, and every time I had to track the game down in proper sleuth fashion, because I just could not make it stick to my brain. I couldn't find the damn thing in my wishlist, is how bad it was - the effect it had was actually remarkable.
That said, the new title is incredibly generic. I would never advise this normally, but these devs should outsource the title and pick some decent proposal. They clearly are... having some issues with naming things. Hey, I can relate, but I'm not selling anything.

It's already bad enough that for some games you need to get the 18+ patches from the developer/publisher via their websites instead of just on Steam. Even if the earlier games in a series had the 18+ patches on Steam already. Like the Nekopara series for instance. The older games have the 18+ patches on Steam, but not 4 and After. It's stupid that all the shovelware hentai slop can get released, but actual developers have to host their 18+ patches elsewhere.
However this sorta forced removal shit on the other hand is bullshit and evil corporatist garbage.

Thinking about this a little more, I think a better solution would be to mark certain games as not being purchasable through specific payment providers. Let the games stay on Steam, but when you go to check out, the user could be told that their currently selected payment provider does not allow the purchase of this game, and let them pick a different one. Make it obvious who's at fault here.
Of course, this could also be an issue on the other side, when developers are receiving their money, but surely, they should also be allowed to pick a different provider?

The solution isn't moving the goalposts and choosing to be ruled by a different region in place of another (see user Iod's comment above about similar game censorship in Germany). This only delays the problem.
The proper solution, no matter how improbable, is for Valve to take a page of their own book of embracing open source solutions, that - by design - cannot be under the influence of any asshat authority, and apply that in their payment methods.
And I don't think stablecoins is the answer here either, those can be controlled and regulated too as far as I'm aware (do correct me if I'm wrong here). I don't want to sound like those cryptobros plugging some shitcoins so I'm choosing to end this here.

I agree that this kind of games should be in the appropiate platform, like Pornhub and not on a general gaming platform like Steam...But to remove or allow XXX games on Steam must be a Valve's decision, not the payment processors'
I remember when Visa tried to block payments in Only Fans, but knowing how much money that platform moves, they backed down.

On a less dreamy note: I'd be okay with it if these games were still available but you couldn't pay for them using PayPal or whoever's responsible for it. Blame who's to blame, charge your Steam Wallet via other means, pay that way.

News - DOGWALK is a free casual game from the Blender Studio out now
By CatKiller, 16 Jul 2025 at 2:02 pm UTC
The official line is "Valve is still learning about Dogwalk. We do not currently have further information about Steam Deck compatibility." However the hardware requirements are modest and it has "partial" controller support so the chances are good that it'll work fine with maybe some Steam Input tweaking.
Edit: so I've just tested it on the Deck and the controls are fine. The performance isn't there, though, which is very surprising given the requirements listed on the Store page. The GPU is maxed out and it's dropping into the 20s. Some more work on the Godot side to see what's up is in order, I would say.

But really, this is probably one of my all time favorite games. Literally the only thing I would buy on release day (and did, lol)
@Boldos - yeah, the graphics are a bit funky (plus like 10-12+ years old, lol). I'd still recommend giving it a chance. Turns out the art choice makes for a fairly easy to read map, and I think the cartoony nature really balances out some of the darker moments (kinda like Kerbal Space Program's Kerbals) although that's probably more personal preference.

By Joom, 16 Jul 2025 at 1:36 pm UTC
Please stop doing this. These aren't rootkits, and they aren't malware. Aside from having ring0 access, nothing an anti-cheat does is comparable to these, and claiming they are causes undue hysteria over nothing (like what you're doing here). It also waters down the severity of real rootkits, and you might as well be saying GPU configuration utilities are rootkits. It'd have the same amount of meaning.
That all said, I'm not defending EA. I just take infosec very seriously, and online "researchers" really fucked up by calling these things "rootkits", because this boogeyman is now spread all over the place.
(Edit: Also, I just woke up. Apologies for being a bit snappy.)

It's now confirmed EA Javelin root-kit kernel malware
Please stop doing this. These aren't rootkits, and they aren't malware.
