Steam: I consent

Adult eroge players: I consent

Payment companies: I don't

Luckly I. can buy anime porn games straight from source dev. Just checked and my Treasure Hunter Claire is still in my library, so guess this affects only unbought games? But I also bought the game direct too.

I mean, that's exactly how third party payment systems have always worked. 🙄

I guess you can always try buying your porn game with Bitcoin or something.

"we have always done it like that" is not an argument for of against anything. It is a mere observation.

At the workplace if anybody says “we’ve always done it this way” during a meeting where we tackle a problem, that means it’s time to change the hubris because it clearly doesn’t work for us anymore.

Right. It's a system of economic exchange, not a moral position. There are ways around this system, but they're time consuming and annoying to accomplish. So the vendors tend to take the path of least resistance when setting their internal policies. You were taught about Free Markets as this perfect, frictionless vacuum of interactions between buyers and sellers, but it doesn't work that way and never did.

For some reason, people seem to confuse being naive and gullible with being moral and upstanding.

Then why are they enforcing moral standards?

No you can't, PayPal made Valve remove them. Not remove the PayPal option for those specific titles.

PayPal made Valve remove them

You can buy games outside of the Steam store.

Did PayPal actually make valve remove them or did PayPal just say they didn't want to provide payment processors for them and valve couldn't be bothered to come up with a solution?

I can't see why Paypal would care one way or the other if the games were available on the platform as long as PayPal don't have to process the payment.

"what're you doing son"

"mining for porn"

Daylight or dark,

In rain or shine,

It don't much matter

Down in the mine.

Where the tunnel's deep,

Lord the air gets thin,

That's the way of life

For the minin' man.
