If you don't get that the "yucky porn games" are the gateway to censor further media that YOU personally think is acceptable, you need to get your head out of your ass. They're trying to divide people into smaller groups so their collective power is also smaller. Kill the cop in your head.
Already seeing folks say, "Well, HORSES isn't YUCKY PORN like other games are, so..." which is super frustrating.
Now is NOT the time to be throwing the hentai games you happen not to like under the bus. Your rage should be directly at payment processors.

I just learned the Bugs Bunny No meme doesn't even come from him saying no. It's a frame rotated 90 degrees from him taking a drink from a bottle. I needed to share this.

Today I learned that stalking a 17 year old girl, writing up a 400 page 'dossier' about her, falsely reporting her to the police and smashing her phone does not constitute 'harassment'.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

Today is the 31st anniversary of Kamaitachi no Yoru. This was a hugely successful "sound novel" for the Super Famicom that popularized novel-style adventure games in Japan and laid the groundwork for the modern visual novel genre.

When the media and government move to demonise a minority it’s always noticeable how that minority gets denied the concept of including children or minors, as she was 17 at the time.

The harassment is never going to stop as long as the companies give in. They're going to fire every person of color, everyone in the LGBT community, every woman, and that still won't placate the "trolls." They'll just assign white male employees they don't like the title of "liberal" and keep going.
Two months after firing over Charlie Kirk comments, Ghost of Yotei dev blames harassment campaign, not 'bad joke'

If you fail a mission in Timesplitters 2, the game over music eventually segues into slowed down voice clips that sound demonic. If you sit through THAT, a different ambient track starts playing and getting louder before a somewhat scared woman asks “is… is that too loud?” and the game goes silent

It is bad and evil to desire a majority white country. This should not be controversial. Ethnostates are bad. Racial purity is bullshit. There's no such thing as white culture because there's no such thing as the "white race" and white people aren't better at anything than anyone else.

elon fucking killed a major piece of not only driving game discussion, but also sheer inherent word-of-mouth advertising. it has no doubt kneecapped many small- and mid-sized titles and i can't even tell what big games are popping off right now unless they have a Little Guy people wanna doodle
In a post-Share button world, it's been very hard to tell what games are actually hitting. It takes effort to post clips or fan art.
That new Digimon game has some fan art.
Death Stranding 2? Very few clips
Yotei? A little here
Kirby? You would think it's the biggest game in the world right now
