Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.
Rules
1. Submissions have to be related to games
Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.
This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.
2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.
3. No excessive self-promotion
Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.
This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.
5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW
Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.
No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.
6. No linking to piracy
Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.
We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

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?
Here I am, reading it as
No you can't, PayPal made Valve remove them. Not remove the PayPal option for those specific titles.
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.
