I’m right with you there - freedom of expression is fundamental, I feel, and freedom of autonomy is not only a privilege to us as conscious, self-aware beings, but also a constant. Imagine a couple billion international people being told they can’t have nice things or freedom by a thousand extremely conservative people from one country. This whole thing is a joke, but if it’s any consolation the people will always fight back. We will always find a way to reject the doctrine of some buffoons. Chances are some people are already compiling a catalogue of every game removed from Steam in order for them to be available. The most low-effort controversial titles may not be much of a loss, but everything following them will be.

Clickbait doesn’t explain properly - the reason queer games were removed from Itch.io is because (and this is another issue) they were one of many media hosters who labeled anything LGBTQ+ as NSFW. The tag itself gets improperly used but anyway. They were still banning under 18s from learning and experiencing diverse life. Romance ≠ sexuality ≠ identity but some people don’t understand that.

Guys I need to ask something. The special physical edition of SR2 is hosted by iam8bit.com, and among the bonus material is something they call an “O-sleeve” -

There are no images of this on the site. Aside from sex toys or armwear I have no clue what this could be. Searching it hasn’t clarified anything. Does anyone here know what an O-sleeve is? Is it something O shaped?

Edit: the only thing I can find related to sleeves and discs are these, but this’d be weird to include…

“It’s over, Republikin! I have the high ground!”

Alright who tf is Krafton and why are they colonising dev studios all of a sudden

(rhetorical - I’ll be researching them later)

Cool! Finally a worthy successor to Steep?
