It was a pleasure to get to talk to @enbykaiju.itch.io about Truer than You and other things that matter a lot ✨💖
I feel so grateful that I got to interview Bobbi from @transcenders.bsky.social about their amazing new game Truer Than You, about the dangers of censorship, and of the complexities of relationships & intimacy in a world where everything is commodified
I love talking to gamedevs who love to talk 😊

Now would be a good time to start making demands. Like reinstating payment processor support for DLSite.
Yes, even for the stuff you think is gross and weird and wrong. Because it's fiction.

Adult content restrictions could pave the way for anti-LGBTQIA+ content bans
Could bans on adult content easily be extended to deem LGBTQIA+ content as ‘mature’?

Spoke with an anon source who had an interesting insight into Visa policy. Per a convo with their bank on the Steam/itchio situation today, Visa put new restrictions into place due to a new "government policy." The exact phrase used by Visa. No specific country was listed as the source of the policy

"Truer than You is a visual novel about the gig economy. You're hired by a start-up run by a techbro who wears 'fun' t-shirts—always a warning sign—to complete vague tasks delivered via phone app." ☺️ www.pcgamer.com/games/visual...
I played a visual novel about the terror of having a 'casual' boss and a job that wants you to conform to society's expectations—but not the ones involving economic stability
Truer than You is about working for an app run by a guy who definitely wears cartoon socks in the office to show he's not just a regular boring manager.

Regarding the adult themed games crackdown:
The Dutch Game Association has flagged this issue with the European Games Developer Federation as we believe we can have a bigger impact on a European level.
However, I still strongly recommend you also bring up the issue with your local association.
