I think it’s hilarious we allow stuff like Postal or Soldier of Fortune without a question, where the whole focus is on going crazy and murdering a whole bunch of people.

But try to show a sensual human body, instead of one that’s ripped into small pieces, and oh my god, this is going too far!

Mastercard and Visa needs some serious competition. How come a payment company decides who to partner with and dictates what people use their system for. Ridiculous bullshite.

At the same time those "games" that were affected, well, who on earth pays for that seriously fucked up crap? People need to get a grip. I'd rather send a psycho team to evaluate people who pay for these games...

note: PCGAMER the epitome of games journalism. They didn't even checked which were the affected banned games.

Unconvincing argument considering what was widely known about certain prominent politicians and their adjuncts long before they became as prominent as they are today.

There's no evidence these people were corrupted by games on Steam. Somehow they managed to become who they are by other means.
