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.

You could have opined that allowing certain extreme content was not a politically savvy business decision for US-based Valve.

Or that healthy societies have incest taboos for very good reasons, and Valve "having standards" would have had more social (plus lobbying/marketing) value.

Angrily insulting HN's user base, on HN, is not an effective method of persuasion.

You think I am trying to "persuade" anyone who wants to fuck their own children?

I despise these people. It is shocking that 99.999% of comments are NOT angrily insulting anyone who supports incest in gaming. The fact that I am in the minority shows this site is truly degenerate and sick beyond repair.

No I don't think they should be "persuaded". I think they should be in prison or receive the death penalty.
