It removes bad influences, bad impressions. One less place to encounter and be reminded of such. Maybe Valve decided they would like to keep their customers and attract more potential rather than lose by offending. Wouldn't be worth it for a FEW LAME ADULT games.

so rape games are bad influences but what about murder games are they not under the same idea bad influences should be removed they did not remove all adult games with rape either

not only that i can still find plenty of games with rape And incest all in all nothing changes not only that how many Gamers are crying at these games being on here almost none so they would lose nothing as with them here they lost no one and only have grown

These games were never supposed to get through the AI censors in the first place.

It is Valves OWN FAULT for not using Human QC, relying on AI because those types of games have been banned since the beginning.

When Valve used humans for QC review, this game had to remove a blackout audio-only rape scene (2017):

i am just pointing out if they want to get rid of games with rape or incest they are doing a somewhat poor job

Here is a theory that after 9/11 and the Patriot Act was enacted, it allowed the federal government to deputize banks and financial institutions to enforce the law of the land. So I'm pretty that these institutions know the law better than the federal government does and so they are acting on behalf of them when they deny payments. So there must be some sort of obscure obscenity law that they are enforcing by removing these games. the simple way is to deny the payment and allow for some sort of appeal process to prove that what is going on isn't criminal but that's never going to happen.

sure they go for the stuff you find disgusting *which it is* but it's fictional so who cares.
but next they will come for something else and you all will be like well this was unexpected!

Hitler wanted to remove "degenerate" art from his society too.

several users investigated the removed content and the games did not contain erotic scenes or other NSFW content, I haven't checked for myself, but i searched some other far worse titles, and they are still here. so i don't know what the issue is.

the payment processors may have opened themselves up to some fun legal action here, so this situation is interesting!

i mean if they find rape and incest bad then they can go for murder games like ready or not or GTA or games where you can do genocides like vic3 etc etc i am sure most people find Murder quite distasteful so why not get rid of it aswell?

i hu dont drink at all i suppose i coulda have worded that better but the idea was mostly there i think i made it more understandable

They're going for that, too. If you can murder a woman NPC/player in the game, then they want it banned. Same for children. Any game where this is allowed they will have it banned.

Payment processors have been doing activism for a while now. They tried to backdoor in a gun ban in the US by refusing to process payments for firearms and ammunition. There was even an instance where banks started dropping gun stores. There's a reason why "Legal Tender" laws are a thing, and they need to be modernized for these digital payment processors and banks. If it's not illegal to own/purchase, then it's illegal for you as a payment processor or bank to deny transactions.
