Is that really true? The article seems to suggest it went trough different route:
“House Party, which came out in early access on platforms like Game Jolt before making its way to Steam late last month”
“Steam isn’t suppressing or prohibiting, it’s just suppressing and prohibiting” is what you have just said, which is why you received an increasingly exasperated series of replies.
You use the word weeaboo, know what ecchi is, but don’t know what a VN is?
So you’re telling me that when NBC shows a movie like, say, The Godfather on television, and they bleep out or overdub all uses of the word “fuck”, it’s not censorship? Even though the changes were made due to the censors who work for NBC/The FCC?
When you do it because the content is explicit, political, or a security threat then it precisely fits the definition of censorship.
It may delight you to learn that blocking content for ‘politically correct’ reasons is also a form of censorship. (Or who knows, it might frustrate you.)
Dude, you don’t get what censorship means. You failed. Try again when you are no longer laboring under the pain you feel from being wrong today.
“deciding to not distribute an item for sale does not in fact constitute censorship.”
I’ll respond to you, but not for any particular reaon (it could have been anyone in this thread).
Tell me about it. I’ve been chatting with this knob who thinks the suppression or prohibition of any parts of a video game that are considered obscene doesn’t count as censorship.
You have no grand right to sell whatever you want on whatever platform you wish.
I don’t see where the article mentioned this was a first amendment issue. Are you getting government censorship confused with regular censorship? Seen a few other stupid people do that in this article. It typically happens when you don’t know what you’re talking about and parrot arguments you’ve seen people make…
Steam isn’t “Suppressing or prohibiting” anything, they are just declining to distribute via their platform.
Why does it need to go? I’m an adult, and I chose which games I buy. Video games are not solely for children. The average age of gamers is 35. What needs to happen is Valve moves to an age verification system so we don’t have this “censorship for the children” nonsense.
That’s Laser’s MO. I’m surprised s/he didn’t dismiss your comment and then shame you as a troll with his/her silly First Amendment comic like s/he usually does.
You’re right it’s a form of censorship because they took it down because of porn complaints. Thus they took the “porn” off and censored it.
Ok, now you’re just being an idiot hellbent on “winning” an “argument” that you have no basis to talk about, discuss; let alone argue. Despite the fact that I provided a link for you already.
My logic is sound. You literally don’t know what censorship is. Get educated. Stop trying to debate something you don’t fully understand and are confusing with other issues. (First Amendment and other “free” speech issues)
You’re conflating censorship with your first amendment rights. It’s 100% censorship, and that’s fine if they choose to do so, vote with your wallet and such, but don’t confuse people with facts that aren’t facts.
lol, censorship is NOT! just about government censorship. Censorship in of itself is not illegal, which is what you may be trying to say. Government censorship is mostly*** illegal but there are literally thousands of exceptions from wartime rules, peacetime rules and varying degrees of “security” related issues to…
This ugly motherfucker should cry everynight about how ugly he is, and he should live in a basement without light. ANd I am being kind.
