Did you know that in the gaming world, it's no longer enough to worry about bans, exorbitant prices, or microtransactions? Now you also have to fear a group of ladies with too much free time 😅. It turns out that Collective Shout, an Australian anti-nopor movement that claims to have "saved the world" when it pressured Steam and Itch.io to remove several adult games, well, they've just made it clear that legality doesn't matter to them 🚨. Yes, you heard right: they don't go after what's illegal, they go after what they "don't like," even if it doesn't break any laws. Their campaign manager claimed that the men who defend the games they censored are likely to commit crimes against women in real life. Of course, because Mortal Kombat players are shooting fatalities in the streets 🏆. The problem is that this censorship also falls under the radar of queer creators or women developers who, ironically, create the same type of content they supposedly seek to protect. And while many gamers are calling it censorship disguised as moralism, the debate opens a dangerous Pandora's box: If payment processors can decide which games live or die, what's next? A "story mode" where you buy every minute of gameplay? 🎮🔥
