an anon middle man basicly?Could it be a viable solution for platforms to use additional middlemen like paypal or payoneer? If money goes through visa, to paypal, to itch.io for example - how does visa know where the money is going?

In Germany, Steam blocked almost all adult games for german players a few years ago, so what you fear has already happened in that country.Will Steam just remove all of their 18+ games?
I don't know man, after Google asked me for photo I.D a few years back.In Germany, Steam blocked almost all adult games for German players a few years ago, so what you fear has already happened in that country.
And they went to great lengths to achieve this; even VPNs don't help German players get what they want from Steam.
Why is that? Essentially for two reasons: 1.) The stupid German government 2.) Steam is too lazy to introduce an age verification system, so they don't give a damn about german players.
Actually i don´t care if anybody knows that i am playing porn games on my computer.I don't know man, after Google asked me for photo I.D a few years back.
I've pretty much accepted that if it comes down to that again, I'll have to live without that account.
With how much data leaks these companies have and the precedent set for retroactive laws.
Do you really want corporations and governments to know what you're doing on your computer?
When you look at the current administration and the laws they just passed. Along with the actions of the payment vendors.Actually i don´t care if anybody knows that i am playing porn games on my computer.
I think it all stems from the fact that the wrong people have gained too much power in society.When you look at the current administration and the laws they just passed. Along with the actions of the payment vendors.
Would it be crazy to say that they would go 1 step further in the future?
Remember, they want to outlaw quite a bit of this content.
They rely on those payment processors because they are a duopaly that illegally collude to crush any new comers to the scene.And folks, that's why you get DRM-free games and store all of them locally (talking about games in general, but applies to R18 too).
Even when buying games on Steam, I encourage people to use free open-source tools like Goldberg Steam Emulator and Steamless to remove Steam authentication requirement and DRM from all games you can, and archive them locally.
Maybe, but they'd need to go about it legally since threats about pulling out don't make sense, as F95 already cannot use those payment processors anyway.
I'm still shocked how most businesses in the world still rely on like 2 or 3 online payment processors, no wonder they feel like they can do anything and own the world. How the fuck did people expect this was going to end?
Honestly at this point I don't know how there aren't more payment processors. Like I understand it must be hard and costly, but it's like everyone in the world just accepted those payment processors like they're some kind of natural phenomenon that you just have to deal with.
I guess crypto is a thing, but hard for it to become anything other than a niche shady method for back-handed deals with how its reputation has pummeled over the years because of scams...
So does this mean any depiction of a baby in any form is banned? Wtf is this list lmao
