Why did thousands of adult titles just disappear from the biggest PC gaming marketplaces?
Digital distribution platforms Steam and itch.io have tightened their rules about adult content โ under pressure from payment processors. Why has this happened and where will it lead?
Steam and itch.io have removed thousands of video games in recent weeks deemed to be "adult content" in order to comply with strict rules from payment processors like Mastercard.
These policies censor artists engaged in lawful speech. Mastercard shouldn't be the gatekeepers of our digital freedom.

People genuinely have no idea what theyโre missing. That game you love but donโt see its kind anymore? Lots of devs want to make that. That newness you want from game experiences? Itโs out there. But hold onโฆ how big a number of concurrent players on steam can they clock?
