While all games delisted at MC/Visa demands were from the rape and/or incest nsfw genre (and that should've not been on Steam to begin with), it still set a dangerous precedent as the game selection criteria was ultimately subjective. Relatable, but subjective. Next time it will again be subjective, but not as clear cut, yet the precedent will already be in place.
It's a video game, nobody actually dies.
If you show a nipple, somebody actually sees a nipple.
If this is not a joke, please elaborate on the difference between "seeing a murder" and "seeing a nipple".
The difference is that it's not "seeing" a murder. It's committing a murder vs watching pornography.
Killing somebody in a video game isn't real murder. Seeing a nude character is still pornography.
Likewise, having sex in a video game isn't real sex. It's still pornography, okay, sure, and..? And..?
That's the point. Many people don't like pornography. So much so that they've collectively grouped together to demand payment processors make changes.
I seriously don't think we have the 'margin' to excuse GTA anymore. It is not the 90s and way to many people are on the brink of going mad.
Every law, order, rule, and regulation is captured by this argument. It needs to provide a scissor to be meaningful.
Hit us with the source. Would love to see the methodology used in it.

Where do you believe that they should have been sold? Are you proposing a separate "Steam: After Dark" store that only adult humans are permitted to browse and purchase from?
