Let me get this straight.
No to Devotion. Wishlisted like hell.
No to Nine Sols. Wishlisted like hell.
Yes to girls riding naked men wearing horse masks and videos of horses having sex. Not even a wishlist page.
Al'righty then. Guess "many gamers" want their pedophilia mixed in with their zoophilia.

I think it's more that there's not political pressure on this weird fetish horror game no one's heard much of, as opposed to extreme political pressure from China on selling games from Red Candle Studios. I bet if the info about the background of why this game was banned on Steam got wide circulation, esp on mainstream news, they'd backpedal on this real quick.

What makes you think this is a fetish game? It seems to me, the game shows the horrors, animals have to live through on a horse ranch just by replacing the horses with humans. So the people with horse masks are not an object of sexual fantasies but more a symbol of human inability to empathize with animals.

Where did GOG say no to Nine Sols? I haven't seen anything about that.

The marketing campaign for this game that no one will care about in 6 months continues…

6 months is generous.

You might not care about the game but you should care about censorship of art, even art you personally think is crap.

I'm all for enabling choice but I can't help but wonder how much this is a move for some easy PR compared to how big the prospective market is for such a game... as well as how I stay away from said buyers.

No surprise, can't have adult games on steam anymore?

You can, they cracked down on incest themes. Whether you think Steam or MasterCard should be making those decisions is, in theory, a matter of principle.
I think it's pretty telling that the "Christian" lobbyists nuked incest and left plenty of rape simulators up personally.

I don't see the big deal. The game looks like a shitty asset flip anyway. We don't need more of those on steam.

This was as a result of Collective Shout being SOJ dirtbags and forcing Steam to take down a lot of games all in the name of "feminism", when we know it was censorious from the beginning.
