6/6: Use your voice! Tweet, post, & back devs on Patreon or alternate payment platforms. Together, we can stop corporate overreach & protect gaming culture. #SaveOurGames

5/6: Japanโ€™s fighting backโ€”politician Yamadaroโ€™s probing foreign influence. Sign petitions to demand transparency from Valve & payment processors. Your voice matters! #GamingFreedom

4/6: Support devs directly on DRM-free platforms or their sites. Cut out middlemen like Visa. Every purchase helps creators fight financial censorship! #SupportDevs

3/6: Action plan: Track delistings on SteamDB. Share vanished games & devsโ€™ stories. Visibility kills silent censorship. Donโ€™t let fringe groups dictate our games! #ProtectGaming

2/6: Collective Shoutโ€™s moral crusade hit niche devs hardest, especially in Japan. Payment processors now control what we play. This isnโ€™t safetyโ€”itโ€™s control. Speak up for creative freedom! #GamersUnite

1/6: 400+ games wiped from Steam in July 2025 by activist group Collective Shout pressuring Visa & Mastercard. No debate, no lawsโ€”just corporate censorship. Gamers' rights are under attack! #GameCensorship

What is Going on With Payment Processors?
YouTube video by Industry Devs What is Going on With Payment Processors?

Stop game censorship from payment processors via Industry Devs. The money quote for me: "It'll be really funny if Collective Shout and these other idiots went after @nintendousa.bsky.social for animal cruelty because Mario is jumping on turtles". www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGGO...

Tiny Glades continues to impress me with it's amazing technical workflow building houses, castles, towers, and everything else you can think of. Highly recommended just to play around for hours in.

Visa and Mastercard are getting overwhelmed by gamer fury over censorship Gamers are sending mass emails and phone calls to major payment processors in protest over Steam and Itchio pulling adult games from their storefronts

The censorship is real on @itch.io and @steampowered.com with groups like Collective Shout who don't like certain content. A dangerous precedent where franchises like Silent Hill, Baldur's Gate 3, GTA, The Witcher, and others could eventually get banned.

Valve No Longer Controls Steam

Steam dropped Rule #15, caving to payment processors and the demands of groups like Collective Shout and removing games. itch has also followed. This is killing indie game devs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlEH...

The most soulless rebrand that lost their identity. Might as well have used Papyrus.

For my fellow indie game devs out there, it's easy to make things big. The challenge is to make it good.
